Clippers vs. Rockets

We are targeting a massive efficiency delta in the opening half, aligned with a significant 74.5% market conviction for the Rockets to maintain their early-game dominance. The Clippers are struggling to find an offensive identity following the blockbuster trade of James Harden and the injury to his replacement, Darius Garland (toe), which left them shooting a dismal 26.7% from deep in yesterday's loss to Houston. Conversely, the Rockets are at full strength with the return of Amen Thompson and the elite interior form of Alperen Sengun, positioning them to exploit a disjointed Los Angeles rotation from the opening tip.
