Pelicans vs Clippers Pick, Betting Analysis
I’m just going to list the reasons to bet this scattered, broken team against another pretty scattered, broken team.
- The market line on this game based on previous spreads should be Clippers -1.9.
- I make this game Clippers -1.2.
- I don’t show a huge edge here, but the Pelicans should essentially never be a road favorite unless they are facing the Kings, Nets, or Hornets.
- The bench unit is a big edge for the Clippers. They have veterans up and down the roster.
- Jeremiah Fears is like younger, smaller Darius Garland.
- Rui Hachimura is a good floor spacer to counter Trey Murphy.
- The Clippers have had the 5th-strongest strength of schedule so far; the Pelicans have had the 19th.
I’m absolutely going to bet on overtime here. I know the Clippers just went to overtime vs. the Heat (and man, should they have won that game — signed, a Clippers ML bettor), but these two teams are very much opposite sides of a coin.
Pick: Clippers Moneyline (+100)
