New Orleans Pelicans

Clippers vs Pelicans Pickswise Expert Predictions

Money Line Pick
LA Clippers Win(+105)

The New Orleans Pelicans and the Los Angeles Clippers are slated to play their second game of a back-to-back tonight. As slight 1.5 point favorites at the time of tip off, the Pelicans won and covered the spread handily last night 124-109. Saddiq Bey led the team with 25 points, and Trey Murphy added 23 points. As a whole, the Pelicans shot 53% to get their first win in three tries against the Clippers this season. Some good news for Los Angeles is that yesterday was the return to the lineup for Kawhi Leonard after a short injury stint. Leonard is once again listed as available for tonight, but his running mate, Bennedict Mathurin will remain out with an injury. Mathurin had seemingly been excelling in his role on the Clippers, averaging 20.6 points per game in his last ten games.

The Clippers will need to rely on Leonard and Darius Garland to get the job done against the Pelicans tonight. Despite the Pelicans sitting near the bottom of the Western Conference standings, they have been a difficult team to beat recently. Out of all the teams currently sitting out of the playoff picture, the Pelicans are the only team actively still trying to win games. New Orleans has won 9 of their last 13 games. Some good news for Los Angeles is only two of those wins came against a team with a winning record. The Pelicans will once again be favored tonight, but I think the Clippers can bounce back to get a win. These teams played back on March 1st, and with no Garland, the Clippers shot 54% and won 137-117. Despite the Pelicans recent success, they still rank as a bottom-10 defensive team. The Clippers have the tools and players to bounce back tonight.

Clippers vs Pelicans prediction: Clippers ML (+105) available at time of publishing. Playable at that number.
