We have been selectively playing the Clippers during their win streak. Since the loss against the Kings, where Kawhi Leonard called the team out for lack of effort, this team is firing on all cylinders, winning 5 games in a row, with four of the wins coming by double digits.

The Clippers can match up to the Rockets small ball lineup by playing Marcus Morris at center. They have the perimeter defenders who can guard Westbrook and Harden. They also have the versatility to go big against the Rockets with Harrell at center if need be. 

Motivation is the big handicap for this Clippers team. There's no question the team will be motivated as they have lost both meetings to the Rockets this season. 

When the Clippers have their roster healthy this season, they are 9-0 straight up with a +13.4 point differential!
