KEY GAME INFORMATION
LA CLIPPERS: GUARDS: Head coach Doc Rivers pretty much hands the offense over to CHRIS PAUL, who is very much in his prime. He has a chance to lead the NBA in assists and steals again . . . He was banged up during the regular season, but J.J. REDICK fit nicely next to Paul when healthy . . . JAMAL CRAWFORD will reprise his sixth-man role. He can still fill it up, though he'll lose a bit of playing time if Redick stays healthy . . . JORDAN FARMAR is still hanging around L.A., this time to back up Paul. He'll run point for the second unit . . . C.J. WILCOX is arguably the best shooter in the rookie class, but he's not guaranteed to grab a rotation spot. FORWARDS: He still has flaws in his game, but BLAKE GRIFFIN continues to evolve into a more complete player. His improved shooting, both mid-range and at the line, is a testament to that . . . The Clippers failed to land an upgrade at small forward, so MATT BARNES might be the starter by default again. He's a good glue guy, though his streaky shooting is a frustration . . . The Clippers retained GLEN DAVIS in free agency. "Big Baby" can do some damage against opposing second units during the regular season. CENTERS: Rivers made DeANDRE JORDAN into a full-time player last season. He's a rim protector and rebounder who has made some strides defending in space, but there's a reason the Clippers spent on another big man . . . SPENCER HAWES gives them a different look at the 5-spot, and he can play alongside Jordan as a floor-spacer as well.
HOUSTON: GUARDS: The postseason was a different story for JAMES HARDEN, but he was a dominant all-around performer during the past two regular seasons. He'll do the bulk of the ball-handling for the up-tempo Rockets . . . After looking for an upgrade during the offseason, it's back to PATRICK BEVERLEY at the point. He's the No. 4 or 5 option on offense, but his defense will keep him on the floor . . . There's little backcourt depth, so rookie NICK JOHNSON has a shot at the rotation. He's NBA-ready as a defender, but his offensive game is shaky . . . ISH SMITH will push for that back-up point guard job . . . ISAIAH CANAAN will have to shoot the lights out early to get a look in the rotation . . . FRANCISCO GARCIA is still here as a 3-and-D option. FORWARDS: TREVOR ARIZA slides into Chandler Parsons' old role, providing defense and three-point shooting. He has a chance for a career-best output offensively . . . The Rockets know they need an upgrade over TERRENCE JONES, but they struck out during the offseason. He's a hustle guy, but he's too much of a defensive liability at the 4-spot . . . After disappearing last season, DONATAS MOTIEJUNAS has a chance to play himself into a thin frontcourt rotation. He's a potential 7-foot floor spacer . . . JEFF ADRIEN will be a "little things" guy in the second unit . . . They wanted to leave CLINT CAPELA overseas, but he'll be in Houston. He might be the future at the 4-spot, but he's years away . . . KOSTAS PAPANIKOLAOU has potential as a versatile bench option. CENTERS: DWIGHT HOWARD looked healthy again and was, at times, dominant. His game still has obvious flaws, namely free-throw shooting and an inability to step away from the basket, but there's no reason he can't flirt with 20-10 nightly while being among the league leaders in blocks . . . Ex-Rocket JOEY DORSEY returns after a strong stint in Spain. He'll bring some muscle (and six fouls) behind Howard.

*Clippers-Rockets Preview* ==========================

By JORDAN GARRETSON STATS Writer

Los Angeles (9-5) at Houston (12-3), 8:00 p.m. EDT

The Los Angeles Clippers are putting together a successful trip with efficient offense - particularly in the fourth quarter as they pull away from opponents.

They'll look to continue that success Friday night against the Houston Rockets, who own the league's best fourth-quarter defense.

The Clippers (9-5) have looked better offensively on the road all season, averaging 107.7 points on 49.2 percent shooting including a 41.3 percent mark from beyond the arc with a 5-2 record. They're averaging 98.9 points and shooting 45.2 percent at home, making 33.5 percent of their shots from deep.

Los Angeles is 4-1 on its seven-game trip, with its wins coming by an average of 17.0 points. The only loss came at West-leading Memphis.

The Clippers overcame 15 turnovers in Wednesday's 104-98 win at Detroit, outscoring the Pistons 32-25 in the fourth quarter.

"On the road, like I said, you've just got to find ways to win," coach Doc Rivers told the team's official website. "It doesn't matter how they look. They've played five on the road on this trip and won four. That constitutes a really good trip so far."

Jamal Crawford scored 14 of his 25 points in the final 12 minutes and has 10-plus points in the fourth quarter in three straight games. He ranks among the NBA's leaders with a 7.3 scoring average in the final period.

Los Angeles has averaged 29.7 points in the fourth quarter in its last four wins, shooting 53.9 percent and going 19 of 33 from 3-point range.

Chris Paul scored 23 and is averaging 21.8 points on 62.7 percent shooting on this trip.

The Clippers have won nine of the last 10 meetings and four of their last five trips to Houston, which continues to be especially stingy at the end of games. The Rockets have limited opponents to an average of 21.5 points in the fourth quarter thus far.

The Rockets (12-3) won 102-89 at home against Sacramento on Wednesday, their third straight victory since a surprising loss to the Lakers on Nov. 19. They held the Kings to 16 points and 5-of-16 shooting in the final period despite being without Dwight Howard (strained right knee) for a fourth straight game.

"We kept breathing, our defense just kept grinding away and grinded out some stops," coach Kevin McHale said.

James Harden had 26 points on a rough 10-of-31 shooting night, though he also had eight assists and seven rebounds.

Isaiah Canaan scored a career-high 24 while going 6 of 10 from beyond the arc in his second straight start in place of Patrick Beverley (hamstring), who missed his eighth game Canaan was 2 for 8 from the field for seven points in Monday's win over New York.

Howard has shot 63.9 percent over his last 12 meetings with Los Angeles but both he and Beverley are doubtful. Terrence Jones remains out with nerve inflammation in his left leg.

Harden is averaging 29.5 points over his last four games, though his 13.5 career scoring average against the Clippers is his lowest versus any opponent.

Los Angeles is 8-1 when scoring at least 100 points while Houston is 11-2 when holding opponents under 100.
