Teams Preview
LA Clippers Preview
LA Clippers are coming off a 88-94, six point loss against the Minnesota Timberwolves in their last match, the Clippers had the lead at the end of the 3rd quarter over the Timberwolves by five points but the Timberwolves out scored the Clippers 20-31 in the 4th quarter.
This is their third straight loss where all those losses came in the last quarter and they lost by less six or less points. In their last five matches, the Clippers managed to win two and lost three scoring 107.8 PPG and conceding 109.2 PPG.
The Clippers rely on high-efficiency scoring rather than high volume. While they take fewer shots per game (82.4), they boast a strong 55.2% effective field goal percentage and an elite 83.2% free throw rate, resulting in a solid 115.4 offensive rating.
Their perimeter game is a focal point, hitting 36% from deep. However, their defense is a concern; with a 116.0 defensive rating and low rebounding numbers (40.8 total), they often struggle to close out possessions.
New Orleans Pelicans Preview
The resurgent New Orleans Pelicans are currently on a four match winning streak with their latest win coming against the Utah Jazz (105-115), led by Sadiq Bey on the offensive end who scored 24 points, while Jeremiah Fears dropped a 18 points, 11 rebounds double-double.
The Pelicans are finding form at the right time and Zion Williamson, who left the court after playing 11 minutes with an injury will miss Sunday's clash against the LA Clippers, in place of Zion, Dejounte Murray who is cleared from the injury list will start.
The Pelicans play a high-tempo, aggressive game, averaging 90.7 field goal attempts and a league-leading 12.3 offensive rebounds per game this season. This persistence on the glass helps them average 115.0 points per game.
While their overall shooting percentage (46.4%) and three-point accuracy (34.4%) lag behind the Clippers, their ball movement is superior with 25.2 assists per game. The major hurdle is their defense; allowing 120.1 points per game with a poor 118.7 defensive rating makes it difficult to hold leads, despite their active hands on steals (8.8).
