The LA Clippers return to the Toyota Center on Wednesday night for a quick rematch against the Houston Rockets, looking to salvage a split in this home-and-home back-to-back. Tuesday’s opener saw Houston grind out a 102-95 victory, fueled by a relentless defensive effort that held Kawhi Leonard to just 24 points on 7-of-19 shooting. The Rockets have now won two straight and sit comfortably as the 3rd seed in the Western Conference with a 33-19 record, including a dominant 18-6 mark on their home floor. For the Clippers, Wednesday’s 8:00 PM ET tip-off represents a steep uphill climb. At 25-28 and 10th in the West, Los Angeles is navigating a significant mid-season identity shift after a massive trade deadline overhaul.

Florida Atlantic heads to Houston on Wednesday night to face Rice at Tudor Fieldhouse in an AAC matchup that is priced like a tight road favorite spot.

But this is not a soft landing spot. Georgia’s home record is strong, the Bulldogs score in bunches, and if the game turns into a trading-buckets script, +7.5 becomes very live. The handicap starts with what Florida did to Texas A&M. They took a

No. 6 UConn stays on the road Wednesday night with a trip to Indianapolis to face Butler at Hinkle Fieldhouse, and the betting lens starts with response. The Huskies had their perfect Big East run snapped at St. John’s, and the way they lost matters. They shot well from the floor and from three, but turnovers and free throws swung the game, and that combination is exactly what tends to travel poorly when a favorite is laying double digits. UConn is still the better team by a wide margin, but a spread of -10.5 asks for a focused, clean performance, not only talent. Butler enters in a rough patch with four straight double-digit losses, but the home split is the
