LA Clippers vs Houston Rockets. The NBA pick for this game is the Los Angeles Clippers. The first month of the season saw problems for both sides. This season, the Clippers’ scoring offense is dead last in the NBA, which is a serious worry. Leonard’s absence was a concern since the rest of the rotation did not do anything to support George, which was problematic. Meanwhile, the Rockets, a young club, continue to struggle. Houston’s defense is still lacking, which may allow even a faltering offense like the Clippers to find a way to score. Take LA on the road as they defeat the Rockets for the sixth consecutive time to a predicted score of 113-107.
