Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the NBA match.
Los Angeles Clippers
Numbers speak better than words – 9 wins in the last 10 games. Even if one of the Leonard-George-Harden trio is stopped, the two others will do the job. Kawhi is great now – 55/50/90 are percentage in field/three-points/free throws.
New Orleans Pelicans
Pelicans are similar to their opponents to some extent in terms of their squad. Zion and Jonas dominate, Ingram takes a lot of shots, McCollum is focused on three-points shots and assists. Defending players are in good form too. At least, the scheme seems to be interesting.
Los Angeles Clippers – New Orleans Pelicans prediction
The Clippers seem to be a team that can’t be stopped by anyone but themselves. The Pelicans don’t have such a talent, but they have some good players in their squad that potentially can be a winning thing for the team. However, the home side has played perfectly at their arena. They have won 5 out of the last 6 home games this year (handicap considered).
I see no reason to place a bet against the Clippers. The team is in the perfect form and they try to reserve their play-offs place in advance.
