The Pelicans are coming into this game as a 3 point favorite with the current betting odds according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Pelicans have played much better recently winning 2 of their last 3 games. They are facing a Clippers side that has been doing the same, coming into this game on a 2 game win streak. The Clippers have been grinding out ways to win their games recently and they have been close in a few but they are missing some of their bench players and the fatigue is bound to catch up with this team on the road here. The Pelicans have been getting healthier and they are playing well in their recent games. They should be able to come away with the win here at home. The best bet to place in this game is on the Pelicans to cover the spread here.

"That game was ugly early. Most of the game was ugly, the first three quarters. We just stayed ready, stayed in it. The team stayed in the fight, stayed confident and continued to have success. It just gave me a chance to make some plays, and we stayed calm. It was hard." - Reggie Jackson on their win against the Nuggets on Tuesday night.

 

 

"I wasn't necessarily looking to shoot the basketball every single time down the floor. But I felt good. I felt in rhythm and my teammates found me." - Brandon Ingram on their win against the T-Wolves on Tuesday night.
