New Orleans Pelicans @ Los Angeles Clippers Preview

The Los Angeles Clippers (43-32) are in the thick of the Western Conference playoff race, aiming to secure a top-six seed and avoid the play-in tournament. They enter this matchup on a hot streak, winning 11 of their last 14 games, including a 96-87 victory over the Orlando Magic in their most recent outing. Kawhi Leonard and Norman Powell have been leading the charge, with Leonard averaging 25.2 points per game in March.

On the other hand, the New Orleans Pelicans (21-54) are enduring a challenging season, plagued by injuries and inconsistency. With Zion Williamson and CJ McCollum shut down for the season, the Pelicans are relying on their younger players to step up. They managed a 98-94 win over the Charlotte Hornets in their last game, with Keion Brooks Jr. and Antonio Reeves leading the scoring.

Historic Head-to-Head Stats and Analysis

The Pelicans have had the upper hand in recent matchups, winning eight of the last 10 meetings against the Clippers. Their most recent encounter on March 11, 2025, saw the Pelicans secure a 127-120 victory at home. However, the Clippers are in much better form heading into this game, while the Pelicans are struggling to find consistency.

Pick: Clippers -17

widget-odds-nba-ats-5164-NO-LAC

The Clippers are heavy favorites in this matchup, and for good reason. They are playing at home, where they have a strong 25-11 record, and are facing a Pelicans team that has struggled on the road (7-30). With the Pelicans missing key players like Zion Williamson and CJ McCollum, the Clippers should have no trouble covering the 17-point spread. Back the Clippers to dominate this game and cover the spread.

Top Player Prop Picks

Kawhi Leonard Over 23.5 Points (-103)

Kawhi Leonard has been in excellent form, scoring at least 20 points in 12 of his last 13 games. With the Pelicans' defense ranking 26th in points allowed per game (118.8), Leonard is well-positioned to surpass this line. His consistent scoring and efficiency make this a strong play.

James Harden Over 8.5 Assists (-110)

Harden is averaging 8.6 assists per game this season and has been a key playmaker for the Clippers. Against a Pelicans team that struggles defensively, Harden should have plenty of opportunities to rack up assists, especially with the Clippers' offensive firepower.

Ivica Zubac Over 12.5 Rebounds (-110)

Zubac is averaging 12.6 rebounds per game and will be facing a Pelicans team that ranks 19th in total rebounds per game. With his size and presence in the paint, Zubac should dominate the boards and easily hit this over.
