Chris Paul and the Los Angeles Clippers have two days of rest, and the team is 8-2 ATS playing on two days rest. Los Angeles has dominated most of this series with its wins of 16, 25, and 32 points. They were ahead by 13 in the third quarter of Game 2 before the refs went wild calling fouls. The last game the Clippers were in full control of Game 6 for the first 34 minutes and unraveled in the type of manner rarely seen when a squad is about to wrap up a series. The Clippers are 16-5-1 ATS in their last 22 road games. Blake Griffin has been unstoppable all series, and Los Angeles point guard Chris Paul had 31 points and 11 assists in Game 6 for his third straight double-double. It's Game 7, which can mean all-out defense and the Clippers are 4-1 UNDER the total playing on two days rest. They are also 4-0 UNDER following a double-digit loss at home, and Doc Rivers will demand great defense the whole game with so much on the line. It's tough to trust this Houston team, even at home, and guard James Harden is 3-for-14 from 3-point range over the last two games. The Clippers are 10-4 ATS against the Rockets, including 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings in Houston. Play the Los Angeles Clippers and Game 7 UNDER the total.
