Clippers vs Pelicans NBA Prediction, Picks and Prop Bets: Back New Orleans (+7.5) March 11

The Los Angeles Clippers are on a real home/road thing lately, largely thriving in their shiny new Intuit Dome while struggling to survive away from it. They’ll try to reverse that latter trend when they carry a three-game winning streak (all at home, of course) into New Orleans on Tuesday to take on the Pelicans.

There are plenty of quality NBA player prop bets to make on both teams and some long-term wagers for the Clippers.

Clippers vs Pelicans Prediction

On LA’s recent 2-6 road trip, they had plenty of close losses to very good competition, so we’ll cut them a little slack for the record. Per Clippers vs Pelicans stats, they rebounded with an impressive homestand that included three straight wins over quality opponents (Pistons, Knicks, Kings). We don’t expect any letdown here: Clippers 116, Pelicans 110

Clippers vs Pelicans 3 Best NBA Player Props Today

1. Kawhi Leonard Under 23.5 Points (-115)

Kawhi Leonard played hero and headlined latest NBA news in a 111-110 win over Sacramento on Sunday, so he comes in on a great note. Still, this seems like a pretty big number. He’s reached 24 points just three times in his last 10 and did so just barely (25) on two of those three occasions. Go under this total.

 

2. Derrick Jones Jr. Over 8.5 Points (-110)

Jones is averaging 10.4 points for the season, had 11 in the first meeting with New Orleans and is coming off a 17-point effort in the OT win over Sacramento. He’s been coming off the bench lately and if that continues, he should take advantage of a soft Pelicans’ bench that allows opponents to shoot 47.8 percent, tied for highest in the West.

 

3. Zion Williamson Under 6.5 Rebounds (-121)

While he occasionally puts up some big numbers in this department, those instances are few and far between. Williamson has gone over 6.5 just twice in his last six games and in five of his last 14. Also, he’s done so only twice in eight career matchups with the Clippers, who are pretty stingy on the glass.

Williamson is a confident man, but he’s no online betting lock to go big on the boards here.
