Clippers vs Rockets prediction
Clippers vs Rockets best bet: Kawhi Leonard Over 28.5 points (-115)
The Los Angeles Clippers will not tank their way out of the postseason, nor should they waste a season like Kawhi Leonard’s.
But in trading both James Harden and Ivica Zubac, L.A. put far too much of an onus on Leonard. Since Zubac was moved, Leonard has taken at least 19 shots in every game and averaged 32.3 points.
L.A. found quality in exchange for Harden and Zubac, but Darius Garland is not healthy, and Bennedict Mathurin overlaps with Leonard more than Zubac does, to Mathurin’s expense.

Even against the Houston Rockets’ quality defense, Leonard should shoot in bulk.
