NBA Betting Trends

New Orleans

The Pelicans are 1-5 against the spread in their last six road games and 2-6 ATS in their last eight conference games.

Los Angeles

The Clippers are 6-2 against the spread in their last eight conference games and 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games when their opponent scores 100 points or more in their previous game.

Prediction:

The Pelicans are a head-scratching team. They have a lot of talent, especially on offense, yet they are a disaster on the road. New Orleans is 8-14 against the spread on the road and giving up close to 116 points per game away from home. The Clippers are coming off a bad loss at home and I would expect them to be motivated to bounce back. Los Angeles has played pretty well at home this season, going 13-8 against the spread. The Clippers already picked up a win at New Orleans this season and I think they will get the job done tonight.

NBA Prediction: Los Angeles Clippers -2.5
