Bradley Beal, Ivica Zubac, and Derrick Jones Jr. are all out. This will challenge the team's depth in upcoming games.</p> <h2>BTB Betting Pick</h2> <p>The Rockets are favored by 6.5 points against the Clippers. With the Rockets' strong scoring at 121.0 points per game and solid defense allowing only 112.2 points per game, they are likely to cover the spread. The Clippers, scoring 110.6 points per game, may struggle to keep up with the Rockets' pace. A projected score of Rockets 118, Clippers 110 supports taking the Rockets -6.5.</p> <p>The total for the game is set at 220.5 points. The Rockets' offense is strong, but their defense is also effective, allowing just 112.2 points per game. The Clippers' lower scoring average and the Rockets' defensive capabilities suggest a total score below the line. A projected total of 228 points leans towards taking the over, but the defensive stats suggest it could be a close call.</p>
