New Orleans Pelicans Preview
New Orleans is averaging 109.3 points per game on 41.2% shooting, with 42.3 rebounds and 20.3 assists per game. The Pelicans have dropped four straight, including back-to-back double-digit losses to Boston and Denver. Turnovers (13.3 per game) and cold shooting from deep (9.7 made threes on 30.5%) have limited their scoring.
Zion Williamson leads New Orleans in points, rebounds, assists, and steals, averaging 27.0 points, 9.5 rebounds, 6.0 assists, and 4.0 steals through two games, but is listed as questionable. Jordan Poole is averaging 20.0 points, and Trey Murphy III is averaging 14.7 points and 7.3 rebounds. Kevon Looney and Dejounte Murray will not play. The Pelicans need to make each possession more productive through better ball movement and spacing.
Los Angeles Clippers Preview
Los Angeles is averaging 117.0 points per game on 52.5% shooting, with 43.0 rebounds and 28.7 assists. The Clippers are 2–0 at home, scoring 114 and 129 in those wins. The Clippers' defense has performed well with 10.3 steals and 6.3 blocks per game, and opponents have been held below 110 in both home games.
James Harden leads the Clippers in scoring and assists, averaging 21.3 points and 8.0 assists. Kawhi Leonard is also averaging 21.3 points with 6.0 rebounds. Ivica Zubac is averaging 15.5 points and 8.3 rebounds on 63.6% shooting. Brook Lopez adds size in the frontcourt, and Chris Paul is averaging 4.0 assists in a reserve role. Bradley Beal, Kobe Sanders, and Jordan Miller are listed as questionable. The Clippers' success is straightforward: take care of the ball, rely on Harden’s passing, play inside-out through Leonard and Zubac, and keep New Orleans off the glass.
New Orleans Pelicans at LA Clippers Prediction
New Orleans has struggled to score and is 0–2 on the road. The Clippers have shot well at home and have multiple players averaging 20+ points. Los Angeles will limit its turnovers and maintain strong shooting at home, resulting in another win. Final Score Prediction: Los Angeles Clippers win and cover ATS, 118–106.
