LA Clippers
Going into Monday night’s games, the Clippers are a game over .500 and secure in eighth position in the Western Conference, more than three games ahead of the ninth-place Lakers.
Sunday’s 99–98 win in Houston made it two-for-two for Los Angeles since the All-Star Break and three in a row, overall.
Reggie Jackson led all scorers with 26 points and hit the big one with less than two minutes to play to break a tie. He added nine rebounds and six assists in a do-everything performance.
Ivica Zubac added 14 points, 15 rebounds and six blocks.
The Clippers managed to win the game despite turning it over three times as often as the Rockets (18 to 6).
The guys who have been out for LA will remain out in Tuesday’s rematch, namely Paul George, who should return sometime toward the start of March, and Kawhi Leonard, who got encouraging news regarding his return from an ACL tear.
Houston Rockets
Houston’s season has been a pattern of long losing streaks followed by short winning runs.
Currently, the Rockets are in the middle of their third long losing streak, in which they have just won one game out of 14.
The loss to the Clippers on Sunday was Houston’s ninth in a row.
Garrison Mathews led the team with 17 points. Dennis Schroder flirted with a triple-double and finished with 11 points, 10 assists and eight rebounds.
The rookie Jalen Green shot poorly and finished with just 10 points on 4-for-18 from the field, including 2-for-10 from beyond the arc.
Kevin Porter Jr. missed the game with a sprained ankle but he’s listed as just day-to-day. His status for this game won’t be known until later on Tuesday.

Free LA Clippers vs. Houston Rockets NBA Prediction:
The first one was tight on Sunday and the second one should be much the same on Tuesday.
The Clippers failed to cover the 6.5 points they were favored by on the road over the weekend.
They will not cover this time, either.
Consider the Rockets a live underdog on the moneyline and the way to go against the spread.
