On Wednesday night, James Harden and the Houston Rockets will head to the Staples Center to take on the Los Angeles Clippers. With just five games left for Houston and four for the Clippers, this should shape up to be an exciting battle between Western Conference playoff teams.
The Clippers currently sit in 6th place, two and a half games behind the 4th place Rockets. With such few games remaining, every one counts and could have major effects on the West playoff picture.
Houston Rockets
Give it up for the Rockets, a team that completely turned things around after a rough first quarter of the season. After a rocky stretch, Houston — led by James Harden — has been the dominant team we remember from a year ago.
With four wins in the last five games, Houston is right where it needs to be heading into the NBA Playoffs. Aside from a 14-point loss to Milwaukee, the Rockets’ defense has stepped up in a big way. During this recent stretch, the team shut down Denver, allowing just 85 points, and also held the Pelicans to 90 points.

On offense, Houston ranks 12th in points per game this season, averaging 112.9. Most of that offensive production rests on Harden’s shoulders. He’s having another MVP caliber year, posting an amazing 36.4 points, 7.5 assists, and 6.5 rebounds per game. He’s also shooting 44% from the field.
The inside game has also been working for the Rockets, thanks to a solid year from Clint Capela. He’s posting strong numbers in the post, averaging 16.6 points and 12.6 rebounds per game. Defensively, he’s been strong also (1.5 blocks per game). He should be able to do good work against the Clipper bigs.

Los Angeles Clippers
Even without a superstar player, and post Tobias Harris’ trade, Doc Rivers and the Los Angeles Clippers have put together a fantastic season. At 6th in the Western Conference, the Clips are surely heading to the playoffs, but could use a last-ditch push to try and move up in the standings.
Against Houston on Wednesday, LA definitely has a strong chance to get a home victory, regardless of Harden’s MVP play. The Clippers have won both matchups against Houston this season, including a 20-point victory on the road back in October.

It’s important to highlight how great the team’s offense has been all year. The Clips average 115.1 points per game, ranking 5th in the NBA. And it’s certainly been a team effort. Three players average at least 16 points per game.
LA’s led by Lou Williams, who’s the best 6th man in the league. He’s averaging 20.3 points and 5.3 assists per game. But the scoring doesn’t rest solely on his shoulder. Danilo Gallinari puts up 19.8 points and shoots 43.4% from behind the arc.

Free Houston Rockets vs. Los Angeles Clippers NBA Prediction:
Both teams should want to win this game, considering it can have an effect on their playoff spots. At home, I like the Clippers to put up a good fight, but Harden and the Rockets are clearly the better team here. Look for a typical huge game from the king of the step-back. Houston gets the win on the road.
4* Free NBA Betting Pick: Houston ATS
This is a great line for Houston, even though the Clippers are playing good basketball right now. I’ll absolutely take the Rockets to win by four or more.
