New Orleans Pelicans vs Los Angeles Clippers Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 03/01/26

Last night the New Orleans Pelicans were able to take down the Utah Jazz. Now on the second night of a back-to-back set, they will find it much more difficult to take down the Los Angeles Clippers. For starters, Zion Williamson left last nights game injured after just 11 minutes and is unlikely to play in this one. The Pelicans also have a points differential of -8.5 in games they have played with no nights rest this season. On top of that, they also have just 8 wins on the road this season, with a point differential in those games of minus-7. With the factors tonight, that differential could be set to get worse.

The Clippers seemed to have found their second scoring option behind Kawhi Leonard, with Bennedict Mathurin averaging 20.7 points per game over his last 6 outings. Considering that Leonard dropped 34-points the last time he took on this Pelicans team, the visitors will not be able to afford simply locking in on him. Over the last 10 games the Pelicans have been leading the league in fast break points per game. However, with fatigue playing a factor, expect those points to be much harder for them to come by today. Take the Clippers to win by margin in this one.

New Orleans Pelicans vs Los Angeles Clippers prediction: Clippers -9 (-110) available at time of publishing. Playable at that number.
