Los Angeles at New Orleans

New Orleans struggled through the Chris Paul injury, but has played much better of late. They have however lost two of their last three ATS, and overall are just 8-10 ATS in their last 18, despite a 12-6 record. The Clippers are playing their best basketball of the season as they have won four out of five for the first time this year - something they did just once all last season. Are they finally tapping into the potential that everyone expects? The recent results may show that as they are clearly playing above the line, and have won their last seven ATS. The Hornets are playing down to the level of competition as they are 2-10 ATS vs. a team with a losing record. But this team, the Clippers has a losing record, but is playing much above that. I'll go with LA here.
