The Los Angeles Clippers are 14-3 over their last 17 games.

The Houston Rockets are 3-0 against the Clippers this season, but have not played against the Clippers at full strength (read: with a healthy Kawhi Leonard).

The Clippers are firmly in the glut of teams fighting to stay out of the play-in in the West, while Houston is locked into the 2 seed after the Oklahoma City Thunder took care of business against the Los Angeles Lakers last night.

Therefore, the Rockets are likely to sit some of their key pieces over the next three games, while all three of Houston’s final opponents will be desperate for wins. Luckily for them, Ime Udoka and co. might be willing to roll over for them.

We’ll be in the Playback room tonight, so you should come join to watch the Rockets and talk about the game. Remember, we get a handful of VIP passes that we give out to anyone who wants to watch the game. No League Pass necessary!
