The Rockets enjoyed a nine-game win streak last month that was eventually ended by a 116-111 defeat to Denver.
They responded emphatically though, following up a 121-114 home win against Atlanta with a road successes at Utah, 121-110 and Phoenix, 148-109.
Houston failed to make it four-in-a-row as they lost 104-98 at the Los Angeles Lakers, but they again bounced back quickly from a defeat.
The Rockets beat Utah 143-105 and Oklahoma City 125-111 at home, before heading to the bay area to beat Golden State 106-96.
LA Clippers Form
Los Angeles come into this matchup on a good run too, having won 12 of their last 14 games and each of the last five.
The Clippers went on a five-game run in the middle of March, only to see that end with a 103-101 defeat to Oklahoma City.
They rebounded quickly though, as they ran out 126-113 winners in New York and 132-100 winners at Brooklyn.
Los Angeles failed to make it three-in-a-row as they lost 127-122 in Cleveland, but they have not lost since, sparking this five-game run with a 96-87 victory in Orlando.
The Clippers then returned home to beat New Orleans 114-98, Dallas 114-91 and 135-104, and San Antonio 122-117.
Verdict
Both teams are in red-hot form and both have some injury problems heading into this matchup.
This is likely to be a close matchup and that makes Houston and the free buckets and appealing pick.
