The LA Clippers, a +104 underdog, will go for a regular-season series win over the New Orleans Pelicans in their final showdown this season at Smoothie King Center on Thursday.
Current Form:
The Los Angeles Clippers have lost their last three games, plunging one game below .500 at 34-35. Kawhi Leonard continues to play at a high level, averaging 29.8 points on 56.4%/42.6/87.1 shooting splits. Leonard also scored 25 points in the Clippers’ recent loss to the New Orleans Pelicans 109-124 on March 18.
Meanwhile, the Pelicans have won their last two games and four of their last five to improve their record to 24-46. New Orleans is no longer in the running for a playoff or a play-in spot, but it’s good to see this team is still competing this deep into the season. Dejounte Murray has been terrific since his return from an Achilles Heel injury, averaging 19.4 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 5.9 assists in seven games.

Our New Orleans Pelicans vs LA Clippers Prediction
Fearless Forecast: the LA Clippers get the win 124-121
The Clippers won’t allow the Pelicans to win twice in a row against them. At 34-35, the Los Angeles is still very much in the playoff picture in the West, so they cannot afford to let this losing streak extend further.
Kawhi Leonard scored a silent 25 points in the loss to the Pelicans at home, but expect the Klaw to be more active in this game as he tries to lead his team to a win.
The LA Clippers, 9-13 on the road against West teams this season, will also bank on Darius Garland and John Collins, two key players who can change the complexion of this match if both get hot. The Clippers had defeated the Pelicans (126-124 on October 31 and 137-117 on March 2) before the loss on Wednesday.
Our betting prediction for the LA Clippers vs. the New Orleans Pelicans: The Clippers will win.
