LA Clippers
The Los Angeles Clippers (47-32) are in fine form with three games to the end of the regular season. The Clippers have won eight of their last ten and five consecutive games, including impressive wins over the Dallas Mavericks and the New Orleans Pelicans. They last lost to the Eastern Conference leaders, the Cleveland Cavaliers, on March 30. While James Harden continues to be the Clippers' leading player in points per game this season, against the San Antonio Spurs in their last game this morning, Norman Powell led the surging Clippers with 5 points, as they blew past San Antonio 122-117. Ivica Zubac added 24 points and 20 rebounds while James Harden finished with 21 points, 12 assists, and nine rebounds. The win over the Spurs means that the Clippers have won fifteen of their last eighteen games, to be in contention for home court advantage in the playoffs.

The Houston Rockets (52-27, second in the West) rebounded from a surprise loss to the LA Lakers to reel out three straight wins over the Utah Jazz, OKC Thunder, and the Golden State Warriors. The Rockets have clinched a playoff spot with a comfortable lead over the third seed in the West, but they still refuse to let up, beating their playoff opponents with ease. Dillon Brooks led the Rockets with 24 points, while Alperen Sengun added 24 points as Houston snapped the Golden State Warriors' five-game winning streak last Sunday with a 106-96 victory. The Rockets' defense restricted Steph Curry to three points. Alperen Sengun is questionable for the game, with Jabari Smith and Fred VanVleet also doubtful.
