00:00Let's go over to H-Town, that's Houston.

00:06The Los Angeles Clippers on the road, not at the Intuit Dome, but heading down to play

00:10Houston.

00:11That game's going to tip off at 8 p.m.

00:13Opening number on this, minus 4.5 in the favor towards the home team, Houston Rockets.

00:18That line now sits at 5, so it's on the move, still as a favorite towards the Houston Rockets.

00:22Low total opening at 213, has now shifted over to 214.

00:26The Clippers and the Rockets, Dubzy.

00:28Who you got here?

00:29Over the last couple of weeks, probably two of the outperforming sides of the Clippers

00:33have finally found a bit of that spark.

00:36I know that they lost to OKC, but still winning four of the last five, three and one, whilst

00:40going on the road.

00:41This is going to be a tough matchup, going against the Rockets, who have been playing

00:44some really good basketball.

00:46They're cooking with their momentum as well.

00:48And taking a look at some of the standouts for Houston on what we have seen, I mean,

00:52the dull Dylan Brooks, always chirping with the best on, but Shengun has been fantastic.

00:58He was a player that cashed me a lot of props going through last season and certainly a

01:02name that for a few basketball betters who may be getting up to speed when you're trying

01:06to look at the success behind the Houston Rockets and why they're cashing tickets on

01:11the nightly.

01:12They've got some nice looking weapons there.

01:13You know, Jalen Green's been playing some really good, some good ball to go with Jabari

01:17Smith Jr. and Shengun, a play to absolutely watch out for as we move in to the business

01:23end of the season.

01:24214, Donnie, one of the lower totals of the night there.

01:27I still think there's a way in which we cover this one with the game expected to be a little

01:32closer.

01:33Five, four and a half, I think with this one being close, it'll just push its way over

01:37that 214 mark late in the fourth.

01:40Anticipated starting lineups there, Harden, Mann and Powell, Jones Jr. and Zubach here

01:44for the Clippers.

01:45We take a look at the Rockets.

01:46That's Van Vliet, Green, Brooks, Smith and Shengun in that game.
