The Clippers collapsed in the fourth quarter in Game 6 at the Staples Center, but I think they can come back and stun the Rockets in Houston. The Rockets didn't beat the Clippers in L.A., the Clippers beat themselves. I look at what I saw from L.A. in their series with San Antonio, and they've already proved they have what it takes to win a Game 7.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Previous History - The Clippers have already shown the ability to win on the road, taking 2-of-3 at San Antonio in the first round, and here in Game 1 in Houston (without Chris Paul). They also won at Houston during the regular season by a score of 102-85 on November 28.

2. James Harden - He spent the fourth quarter of Game 6 on the bench, suffering from flu-like symptoms. He's expected to play, but is unlikely to be fully recovered just a few days later.

3. Chris Paul - The Clippers PG stole the show in Game 7 against the Spurs, scoring 27 points on 9-of-13 shooting, and hitting the game winner at the buzzer. He's likely to be the best player on the floor here in today's game.

Selection: This is a play on the L.A. Clippers (10*)
