In Friday’s Clippers vs Pelicans matchup, we expect the New Orleans Pelicans to win and cover the spread on their home floor. The Pels are 18-13 at home this season so far. They should improve on that record against a Clippers team that is playing for the second straight night, after LA won in Chicago on Thursday night. Expect the road-weary Clippers to stumble in this contest, especially with James Harden’s status for this game in question.
