The red-hot Houston Rockets play host to the Los Angeles Clippers in a nationally-televised battle on Wednesday. Paul George (shoulder) is listed as questionable to make his 2019-20 debut, while Eric Gordon (knee) will miss the contest for Houston. Both teams are 7-3 straight-up this season and covered three of their last four games. Tip-off is at 7:30 p.m. ET at the Toyota Center. Sportsbooks list the Rockets as 2.5-point home favorites, up a half-point from the opener, while the Over-Under, or total number of points Vegas thinks will be scored, is 234 in the latest Rockets vs. Clippers odds after falling as low as 230.

On top-rated NBA picks against the spread and on the money line alone, the model returned a whopping $4,280 last season. It also enters Week 4 of the 2019-20 NBA season on a 6-2 run on all top-rated NBA picks. Anybody who has followed it has seen huge returns.

Now, it has locked in on Clippers vs. Rockets. We can tell you it's leaning under, and it also says one side of the spread hits in well over 50 percent of simulations. Head to SportsLine now to see the pick.

The model knows the Clippers are arguably the best team in the NBA at full strength and the potential addition of George could be key for Los Angeles. There is some uncertainty as to how effective George will be after a long layoff, however, and Los Angeles will attempt to integrate him into a well-oiled machine. But if George is able to go, the Clippers form a devastating combination of high-end role players and legitimate stars, with multiple bodies to deploy at Harden defensively.

But just because L.A. has several edges doesn't mean it will cover the Clippers vs. Rockets spread on Wednesday.

The model understands that defense isn't the strength of the Rockets, and the season-long statistics reflect that. However, Houston has been buckling down, allowing less than one point per possession during a four-game winning streak. If the Rockets can defend at an average level, that unlocks many possibilities for Mike D'Antoni's club. This is an intriguing test for Houston both sides of the ball, but even if George returns for the Clippers, it is safe to assume he won't be at 100 percent after a long layoff.

So who wins Clippers vs. Rockets? And which side of the spread hits in well over 50 percent of simulations? Visit SportsLine now to find out which side of the Clippers vs. Rockets spread you need to jump on Wednesday, all from the model that has crushed its NBA picks, and find out.
