The young Houston Rockets like to run, giving powerhouse Phoenix all it could handle last night in a 124-121 loss. Houston was a 17-point underdog but had a late lead. NBA road underdogs like Houston of 10+ points that allow 48% shooting defensively are 73-38 ATS when they average 48 or fewer boards. They're a big dog again to a banged-up Los Angeles squad that has been without Kawhi Leonard (knee) all year and Paul George (elbow) since December. Los Angeles is on a 3-5 SU/ATS run and has failed to cover all three games when they've been favored by 8.5 points or more this season. The Clippers are 66-94 ATS against losing teams, while the Rockets are 96-67 ATS on the road after a loss by 6 points or less. Take Houston as my second Max Play.
