Los Angeles Clippers @ New Orleans Pelicans Preview
The Los Angeles Clippers (35-29) enter this matchup riding a three-game winning streak, while the New Orleans Pelicans (17-48) are struggling with a four-game losing streak. The Clippers are currently eighth in the Western Conference and are looking to solidify their playoff position, while the Pelicans sit at 14th and are likely headed for the lottery. Despite their poor record, the Pelicans have historically performed well against the Clippers, especially at home.
The Clippers have been led by James Harden, who is averaging 22.2 points and 8.6 assists per game, though turnovers remain a concern. Kawhi Leonard has also been in strong form, contributing to the team's recent success. On the other hand, the Pelicans are missing key players like Zion Williamson and CJ McCollum, which has significantly impacted their performance. Trey Murphy III has been a bright spot, averaging 21.8 points per game over the last 10 games.
Defensively, the Clippers have been solid, holding opponents to 108.7 points per game, while the Pelicans rank near the bottom in defensive efficiency. However, the Clippers have struggled against the spread, particularly on the road, where they are 0-10 ATS in their last 10 games. This could give the Pelicans an opportunity to keep the game close, despite their recent struggles.
Historic Head-to-Head Stats and Analysis
