The Los Angeles Clippers will travel to the Bayou Area on Tuesday to take on the hapless New Orleans Pelicans at Smoothie King Center. The Clippers captured their third win in a row on Saturday after sinking the Sacramento Kings on Kawhi Leonard’s left-handed hook shot at the buzzer. James Harden flirted with a triple-double (29 points, 11 assists and 9 rebounds) and Ivica Zubac chalked up 22 points and 10 rebounds. And yet when the game was on the line, the Clippers put the ball on the hands of their most experienced late-game performer, Kawhi Leonard. Leonard scored 17 points, and more importantly, made a hook shot over the outstretched arms of several Kings defenders. The ball bounced three times on the rim before falling through the hoop, reminiscing of his iconic Game 7 game-winner vs. the Sixers in the semifinal of the 2019 NBA playoffs. The Pelicans have lost their last four games and five of their last six assignments. Trey Murphy III starred for New Orleans in their latest loss to Memphis, 104-107, scoring 27 points 9 for 21 shooting. Zion Williamson, who dropped 37 points against the Lakers a week ago, did not play vs. Memphis as part of a load management effort by the Pelicans to prevent injuries.

Our New Orleans Pelicans vs LA Clippers Prediction
The Clippers are beginning to show their true capability at the most important juncture of the regular season. With Kawhi Leonard slowly getting to his pre-injury shape and James Harden putting up near “Rockets Harden” numbers, LAC emerges as a strong threat to any contender in the West in the playoffs. As for the Pelicans, who are 1-5 ATS in their last six games, Tuesday’s game vs. the LAC offers their bench players a chance to get some court time and prove they deserve to stick around with the team beyond this season. Other than that, the lottery-bound Pelicans have no business winning this match. LA Clippers are 1-8 ATS in their last 9 games against New Orleans, but I feel confident they will beat the spread against this heavily undermanned Pelicans squad. Our betting prediction for Los Angeles Clippers vs. New Orleans Pelicans: Clippers will cover -6.5 points.
Prediction:
LA Clippers will cover -6.5 points
