The Clippers have looked great in their games this season with their 34-15 record overall which has them surging up the standings in the West with one of the best records in the entire NBA now. They have been really hot over the last month as they are starting to look like one of the best teams in the NBA and they have also looked great on their home court this year with their 19-4 home record. Meanwhile, the Pelicans have also looked good in their games this season with their 29-21 record overall which has them right in a playoff spot in the West right now. They haven't been a bad road team either with their 14-11 road record and they are gaining some momentum now with 3 wins in a row. The Pelicans have won 3 games in a row now but they haven't been playing any good teams during that time and they are going to struggle a lot more with the way the Clippers have been playing lately. The Clippers have a ton of momentum of their own too with 4 wins in a row now and they have been rolling lately with 9 wins in their last 10 games while the Pelicans are only 5-5 in their last 10 games. The Clippers have been hot for a while now and they are going to continue rolling in this game, especially since they have the home advantage. The best way to place a bet here is on the Clippers to cover the spread in this game.
