Betting on the New Orleans Pelicans
- Regular Season Record: 35-37
The New Orleans Pelicans reported that Zion Williamson was cleared for court work and will be re-evaluated in two weeks for his hamstring injury. This update makes it clear that the star player will not be in the remainder of the regular season and that if all goes well, the team expects him to play in the Play-In tournament if they manage to qualify to that stage.
The Pelicans’ offensive load will still be on Brandon Ingram’s shoulders, who has scored at least 30 points in two of his last three appearances (excluding Thursday’s match against the Charlotte Hornets).
Betting on the Los Angeles Clippers
- Regular Season Record: 38-35
The Los Angeles Clippers revealed that Paul George has a torn knee and will be out two or three weeks. However, this can be considered as good news since at the time of PG13‘s injury last Tuesday against the Oklahoma City Thunder, it was feared that the problem was much worse.
During George’s absence, Terance Mann is expected to move into the starting five of the squad led by Ty Lue. Besides, Eric Gordon is another player who will likely get more minutes in the upcoming games.
The Clippers have a tough remaining schedule, as they have to play the following games: against the Grizzlies (two games), Suns, Pelicans (two games), and the Lakers, just to name a few. Thus, we expect it will not be easy for them to hold on to direct playoff positions.
JefeBet Prediction
The Pelicans defeated the Clippers with a score of 112-91 in the previous matchup between the two in the current season. Both teams arrive with important absences and in irregular momentum, so for this Pelicans vs Clippers game, at JefeBet we are leaning towards the Clippers, since New Orleans is a very bad visitor with a record of 12 wins and 24 losses.
Prediction: Clippers Moneyline (NO 115-120 LAC).
