The LA Clippers have to keep Houston from the lane, as that's how the Rockets get a lot of their points. But in the same, they need to make sure they spread their defense also. James Harden should be well rested after sitting out a lot of the 4th quarter of game 6. The Clippers are still scratching their heads wondering how they lost game 6 at home.
Houston coach Kevin McHale mixed up his rotation and are now looking to win 3 straight over the Clippers and clinching the series at home.

Expect a physical, brutal fight. Houston has 4 starters averaging double digits in scoring, with great ball movement, they get everyone shots and no one is stuck standing around watching. They are a very aggressive team, in particular, James Harden. Look for Harden to put up triple-double numbers and carry the team like he didn't all season and getting to the FT line.
They take it hard to the paint, but also have great deep ball shooting. When they move the ball and keep the game fast paced, the Rockets can beat anyone, and at home it will be rocking and the Rockets win and cover ATS on Sunday.
