Expert Betting Tips
The Clippers haven't performed well on the road lately, so we'll bet on New Orleans in the upcoming game. It is quite possible that LAC will confirm their favorite status here, but it is highly doubtful that this victory will be convincing. We'll take the Pelicans with a plus handicap, as well as the total under. Based on the history of head-to-head meetings, both teams clearly have the resources to stop each other's offense.
