The Pelicans host the Clippers in what will be their last game of 2024, having only been able to win 5 and lose 27. The New Orleans team, in the midst of a 9-game losing streak, is the 3rd worst team in the NBA in points per game with 106.5. In turn, several times during the season those losses were blowouts as the Pelicans have a 1-18 record in games decided by 10 points or more this season.

It will be the first time these conference rivals meet this season. The Clippers arrive at the Smoothie King Center having won their last two games and with a 6-4 record in the month of December. They achieved another victory in the last game at the Intuit Dome against the Warriors without Curry by a final score of 102-92. The third quarter of 32-19 in favor of the Clippers was decisive for the victory. Bosnian Ivica Zubac had a good night with 17 points, 11 rebounds and 5 blocks. Harden, who committed a technical foul against the Warriors, averages 21.9 points per game and 8.1 assists.

Our New Orleans Pelicans vs LA Clippers Prediction

In the betting, the Clippers have the third best ATS record in the NBA at 20-11. The two teams have not played since December 27th and, resting the same days as their opponent, the Pelicans have a 6-14 record, last in the NBA, while in these cases the Clippers are the third best with a 10-5 record. The combination of Zubac on defense, with Harden on offense and also with Powell who scored 26 points in the last victory and who played 40 minutes has proven to be quite effective for the Clippers this season. Our prediction for Clippers vs Pelicans is: Clippers -5.5.

Prediction:

 

Clippers -5.5
