Our LA Clippers vs New Orleans Pelicans Prediction

The Clippers are nearly double-digit favorites in this game; however, the Pelicans look to be the best betting option. There is no arguing that New Orleans has been one of the worst teams in the league this season. That said, they have won their last four games in a row. They do have the slight disadvantage of playing this game on the second night of a back-to-back, but it should not limit them from being competitive.

The Clippers, on the other hand, have been inconsistent throughout this season and have lost their last three games in a row. Further, they have been mediocre at home, having posted a 14-13 record. Therefore, because the Pelicans are in much better form, our Los Angeles Clippers vs New Orleans Pelicans prediction is: New Orleans Pelicans +8.5.

Prediction:

 

New Orleans Pelicans +8.5
