New Orleans averages 101 points per game with plenty of players who can put the ball in the basket. Ryan Anderson is averaging 16.7 points and Tyreke Evans (15.9) poured in 27 on Friday to match his season high while dishing out 7.1 assists per contest, and guard Eric Gordon chips in 15.3 points per contest. This young team likes to run, and the Pelicans are 11-3 ATS in their last 14 Sunday games. They face a Los Angeles Clippers squad that outscores opponents by 3.5 points and is still without injured All-Star forward Blake Griffin (quad), who has missed the last seven games and is expected back later this month. The Clippers are 3-7 ATS following a straight up win of more than 10 points, as well as 3-8 ATS against the NBA Southwest Division. This is the second of a back-to-back spot for the Clippers after topping Charlotte last night while New Orleans has one day of rest. And when these teams clash, the Pelicans are 22-10 ATS in the last 32 meetings. Play New Orleans.
