Los Angeles Clippers at Houston Rockets (-2, 196)
The Clippers play the third contest of a six-game road trip when they visit Houston. Los Angeles split the first two games of the excursion and lost to the Phoenix Suns on Friday.
The Rockets are 15-5 at home but one of the losses came Friday against the Denver Nuggets. The Rockets have lost two straight after winning four in a row.
Clippers All-Star forward Blake Griffin could rebound with a big night after two consecutive subpar performances. Griffin had his worst shooting game this season (6 of 19) in the loss to Phoenix while scoring just 17 points. Griffin has just 31 points over the last two games after scoring 20 or more in eight straight games. He has not scored under 20 points in three consecutive games all season. Griffin has grabbed less than 10 rebounds in three straight games for the second time this season.
At the same time, it's unlikely that Rockets guard Kevin Martin can duplicate his 35-point effort against the Nuggets in which he made 10 of 15 shots.
The Clippers routed the Rockets 117-89 on Jan. 4 in Los Angeles, and the Clips are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games following a SU loss.
Pick: Clippers +++
Sacamento Kings at Phoenix Suns (-5.5, 204)
The Suns conclude a six-game homestand by trying to get over the .500 mark. Phoenix is 4-1 on the homestand and coming off an impressive win over the Clippers.
Sacramento has been brutal on the road, dropping to 4-18 with Friday’s loss to the Los Angeles Lakers. Overall, the Kings have lost eight of their last 10 games.
But rookie guard Jimmer Fredette scored 12 fourth-quarter points against the Lakers to reach double figures in back-to-back games for the first time since January. Fredette has connected on five 3-pointers in the last two games after making just five over his previous seven games.
Phoenix, meanwhile, is riding high after Grant Hill swatted away Chris Paul’s game-tying 3-point attempt in the final seconds of Friday's win. The Suns have held four teams below 80 points, matching last season’s total.
The home team is 13-6 ATS in the last 19 Kings-Suns meetings.
