Result:
WIN

The Clippers already own a 111-90 win over New Orleans on Nov. 27 as J.J. Redick and Blake Griffin scored 20 points apiece. Flash forward to today, and Griffin is now out for at least two weeks with an injury. The Clippers still have the upper hand in this matchup as they are on a four-game winning streak while averaging 113 points their last three games. The Clippers won at Charlotte last night 122-117 as Redick led his team with 26 points and Austin Rivers added 22 points. The Pelicans lost at Orlando 104-89 on Monday as Anthony Davis finished with 20 points but the defense was lacking as the Magic shot 54.9 percent from the field. New Orleans made just 5-0f-20 from beyond the arc in its second loss in three games. The Clippers are shooting 46.0 percent from the floor this season while the Pelicans allow 46.1 percent. The Clippers also have more depth than previous seasons which will allow them to better handle Griffin's injury. The Pelicans are 0-7 ATS when their opponent scores 100-plus points in its previous game. Take the Clippers.
