What to Know
The Los Angeles Clippers might have tired legs after a game yesterday as they head on the road against the New Orleans Pelicans at 8 p.m. ET Nov. 19 at Smoothie King Center. Both teams took a loss in their last game, so they’ll have plenty of motivation to get the ‘W.’
Los Angeles ended up a good deal behind the Memphis Grizzlies when they played on Thursday, losing 120-108. A silver lining for the Clippers was the play of small forward Paul George, who shot 5-for-9 from beyond the arc and finished with 23 points, six assists and five rebounds.
Meanwhile, New Orleans lost to the Miami Heat on the road by a decisive 113-98 margin. The Pelicans were up 34-21 at the end of the first quarter but couldn’t hold on to the lead. Despite the defeat, they had strong showings from small forward Josh Hart, who had 18 points along with seven boards, and shooting guard Nickeil Alexander-Walker, who had 24 points.
Los Angeles is the favorite in this one, with an expected 3.5-point margin of victory. Those playing the odds have seen things go back and forth with Los Angeles, who are 8-7 against the spread.
Los Angeles is now 9-6 while New Orleans sits at 2-14. A pair of stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: The Clippers enter the contest with only 17.2 fouls per game on average, good for fourth best in the league.
