Los Angeles at New Orleans

New Orleans lost 122-116 to Houston on Monday for its eighth loss in 10 games this season. A lack of defense is a main factor as the Pelicans are allowing opponents a .467 field goal percentage and .355 from three-point distance. The Rockets shot 51.7 percent and James Harden torched the Pelicans with 39 points and Russell Westbrook added 26 points. Los Angeles is 7-4 ATS, but had its two-game winning streak snapped in a loss at Houston. The Clippers had an off night offensively hitting on only 38-of-98 from the field. They'll bounce back tonight as the Clippers are 13-5 ATS their last 18 versus teams with losing records, including 25-12-1 ATS their last 38 games against teams with .400 or below winning percentages. New Orleans is 4-12 ATS its last 16 home games and the Pelicans are riddled with injuries. Take the Clippers.
