The New Orleans Pelicans and Los Angeles Clippers will face off at the Smoothie King Center in a jam-packed Tuesday in the NBA. The Pels (5-27) are bottom of the Western Conference while the Clippers (18-13) are sixth. Check out our match prediction below.
Crippled by injuries, the New Orleans Pelicans have now lost 27 games this season and suffered their ninth defeat in a row after going down 132-124 to the Memphis Grizzlies on Saturday.
Trey Murphy and CJ McCollum both managed 30+ points, but the team allowed a massive 74 points in the first half and never really looked likely to close the deficit.
The Pels are bottom six on both ends, averaging 106.5 points per game (28th in the league) while allowing 118.0 PPG (25th in the NBA).
Meanwhile, the LA Clippers have now won four of five and are going for a third in a row after beating the Golden State Warriors 102-92 on Saturday.
Norman Powell led the team with 26 points on a night when LA shot 53% from the field and made 10 of 32 from long range.
The Clippers are averaging just 109.4 points per game this season (22nd) but they have been very good on defence, allowing only 107.1 PPG (fourth overall).

Our New Orleans Pelicans vs LA Clippers Prediction
Very little has gone right for the Pelicans this season - they are missing some of their best players, struggle to put up points, and fail to cover numbers consistently despite being inserted as underdogs most nights.
The Clippers, on the other hand, have won and covered four of their last five, and with an achievable line in this one, we feel this should be another addition to their ATS record. Our New Orleans Pelicans vs LA Clippers prediction is LA Clippers -6.5.
