One of the best games on the Wednesday NBA slate will see the Los Angeles Clippers take on the Houston Rockets. Let’s take a look at the Western Conference matchup between the Los Angeles Clippers and the Houston Rockets.
Houston enters this game with a record of 52-27. Not only have the Rockets secured their spot in the playoffs but they will be the 2nd seed in the Western Conference. The Rockets most recently beat the Golden State Warriors on the road this past Sunday by a score of 106-96.
As for Los Angeles, they enter this game with a record of 46-32, not counting their game on Tuesday night against the San Antonio Spurs. The Clippers have secured a playoff spot as they are in 5th place in the Western Conference, but their seeding is still up in the air. As it stands, the Clippers are 2.0 games behind the 3rd-seeded Los Angeles Lakers and 0.5 games behind the 4th-seeded Denver Nuggets.
However, Los Angeles is tied with the Golden State Warriors, the Minnesota Timberwolves, and the Memphis Grizzlies, so any slip-up and they could move down the standings to as low as 8th place, which means they would have to participate in the West Play-In tournament.
