Clippers head coach Doc Rivers said Tuesday that point guard Chris Paul is “50-50” to play in Game 2, but the point guard has been downgraded to doubtful. AccuScore simulations were run without Paul in the lineup.
The average score after AccuScore ran its 10,000-plus simulations is Rockets 106, Clippers 102.
Total: There’s a 58 percent chance the total combined score in Game 2 stays UNDER 214.
The total has stayed UNDER in four of the last five meetings between these teams, as well as in four of the six meetings in Houston.
Point spread: There’s nearly a 56 percent chance the Clippers cover a +6.5 spread, a four-star (out of four) AccuScore hot trend.
The Clippers are 11-1 ATS in their last 12 games on the road.
The Linemakers’ pick: Is Vegas crew in agreement with AccuScore?
Projected Leaders Blake Griffin: 29 points, 11 rebounds, 8 assists, 1 steal, 1 block, 5 TOs James Harden: 28 points, 8 assists, 5 rebounds, 2 steals, 1 block, 4 TOs
