Command Analysis

New Orleans Pelicans

Current form
New Orleans continues to collect failures like rare cards. Four defeats in a row is, of course, not a reason to be proud. In the last match, the Pelicans clashed with Memphis on their floor and were defeated with a score of 104:107. Trey Murphy became the main star among the losers, who scored 27 points, five rebounds and two assists. Carlo Matkovic added 13 points, and Yves Missy scored 10. Jonathan Hawkins and Kelly Olynyk scored 12 more, while Jose Alvarado and Antonio Reeves scored 11 each. With 17 wins and 48 losses, Willie Green's team sits dismally on the 14th line of the Western Conference.
Disqualifications and injuries
Ironically, the Pelicans have been coming out on the floor in a truncated lineup for the second match. Dejonte Murray is already officially resting until the end of the season, and Kelly Olynyk is also recovering from an injury. New Orleans doesn't look so intimidating without these fighters.
Interesting facts for betting
In the last ten games between New Orleans and the Clippers, the teams have averaged 224 points. If the trend continues, we can expect another productive match.
The approximate line-up: C.J. McCollum, Trey Murphy, Zion Williamson, Bruce Brown, Eve Missy.

LA Clippers

Current form
The Clippers have finally come to their senses after a losing streak and are now on a three-game winning streak. In the last match, they staged a real thriller with Sacramento, winning in overtime with a score of 111:110. James Harden showed all his magic by scoring 29 points, nine rebounds and 11 assists. Ivica Zubac recorded a double-double (22 points, 14 rebounds, two assists). Derrick Jones and Kawhi Leonard scored 17 points each. Tyronn Liu's team ranks eighth in the West with 35 wins and 29 losses.
Disqualifications and injuries
The situation for the Clippers is not as sad as that of their rivals, but it was not without losses either. Norman Powell and Ben Simmons will not play in the upcoming match.
Interesting facts for betting

1.87Tip and bets
This season is like an endless song of sad blues for New Orleans. Green's team loses match after match, and even the hope of a play-in begins to fade. The Clippers, on the other hand, are gaining momentum again after a midseason setback and are striving to return to the top 6 of the West. The Californians are objectively stronger, and the Pelicans look toothless without Murray and Olynyk.
Our betting tip is for the Clippers to win by a head start (-5.5) points, including overtime in 1.78
Betting on an individual total
The Clippers average 110.1 points per season, and 108.9 in away games. But against a leaky Pelicans defense weakened by the loss of key players, this figure could be much higher.
Our prediction is that the Clippers' individual total is more than 117.5 points in 2.03 minutes.
Bet on the first half
New Orleans traditionally makes aggressive starts and has won the first half in four of the last five games against the Clippers. Most likely, even now the owners of the parquet will start powerfully, but they simply won't have enough strength at the distance.
Our betting tip is a 2.75 win for New Orleans in the first half.
