LA Clippers vs New Orleans Prediction: Unconvenient Opponent for LAC

Prediction for the NBA match between LA Clippers vs New Orleans, which will take place on February 8th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

The Clippers play their first game after a long road trip that has been very successful for Tyronn Lue's team. The Californians beat Toronto (127-107), Atlanta (149-144), Detroit (136-125), Miami (103-95), Washington (125-109) and even Boston (115-96), losing only to Cleveland (108-118), which has been on a roll lately. The Clippers' lead in the West is a logical development. They do look like the strongest team in the conference right now, while Minnesota and Oklahoma are expected to start losing momentum.

The Pelicans are no Clippers, but they are a solid team. New Orleans is in the playoff hunt today, sitting in seventh place in the West, just 0.5 wins out of the top 6. The Pelicans are riding a three-game winning streak into their matchup with the Clippers. Willie Green's team beat Houston (110-99) and San Antonio (114-113) on the road in Texas and Toronto (138-100) at home.

The Clippers are the leaders of the Western Conference and the favorites for the upcoming game. Still, New Orleans is a solid team and has a great H2H record in recent years. The Pelicans will likely put up the most serious resistance against the Californians, especially since Tyronn Lue's team just finished a long and exhausting road trip. Let's go with the Pelicans. We also expect a TO in the rebounding battle.
