New Orleans Pelicans

The Pelicans recently had a nice stretch, winning four out of five games, but specifically in the run-up to the meeting with the Clippers, they lost four straight. First, New Orleans lost in Los Angeles to the Lakers (115:136), then failed twice in a row against Houston (97:109 at home and 117:146 away), and then lost at home to Memphis (104:107).

In total, New Orleans currently has only 17 wins in 65 games this season. In the Western Conference standings, the Pelicans are in penultimate place, ahead of only Utah.

Los Angeles Clippers

The Los Angeles Clippers, after a break for the All-Star Game, started off with a disappointing road series - six losses in seven games. But then, returning to the home floor, Tyronn Lue's team won three straight. First LAC was stronger than Detroit (123:115), then coped with New York (105:95). Finally, in the most recent game so far, the Clippers outplayed Sacramento 111:110 (97:97).

All in all, the Clippers now have a 35-29 balance. The California team fell out of the playoff zone, dropping to eighth place in the Western Conference. However, it is still not far from the top-6 - just 1.5 wins.

Expert Betting Tips

The Clippers haven't performed well on the road lately, so we'll bet on New Orleans in the upcoming game. It is quite possible that LAC will confirm their favorite status here, but it is highly doubtful that this victory will be convincing. We'll take the Pelicans with a plus handicap, as well as the total under. Based on the history of head-to-head meetings, both teams clearly have the resources to stop each other's offense.
