MatchPlug Prediction LA Clippers VS New Orleans Pelicans
The Clippers won their only matchup with New Orleans this season by three points. The Pelicans have struggled in their recent matches but perform well as home underdogs, while L.A. has trouble covering as road favorites.
Without Powell, the Clippers’ offense has declined, however, the absence of their star player is not enough to bring them down as they are the better team to win.
Our prediction for this game is L.A. to win.
