New Orleans at Los Angeles

New Orleans has never quite recovered after dealing Chris Paul, but they are gaining ground as they are one game shy of being a .500 team. The Los Angeles Clippers started slowly, but have nailed down the win in each of their last six games, so the line has jumped for this one. There is one problem. Outside of Houston, who is an injury-riddled team right now, the five other Clippers' wins have been vs. teams that are a combined 23-74 on the season. In other words, almost the five worst teams in the league. New Orleans is better than any of those five teams, but the wins have added to the line here, so New Orleans is steeped in value to an inflated number. Play the points on New Orleans.
