Game Preview

On January 5, the Los Angeles Clippers (21-12) take on the New Orleans Pelicans (21-14), with tipoff taking place at Smoothie King Center.

 

After defeating the Suns 131-122 on the road in their last game, the Los Angeles Clippers seemed to be on fire, winning 13 of their previous 15 games altogether. They will be hungry to extend their 4-game winning streak. With 33 points, 7 rebounds, and 3 assists, Paul George topped the squad, while Kawhi Leonard scored 30 points, grabbed 8 rebounds, and had two blocks, and James Harden finished with 22 points and 11 assists. The Clippers dominated the first half 70-51, shooting 55% from the field overall and 18 of 34 from three-point range. They were all over the Suns early on and never looked back. Following their adjustment to James Harden’s arrival, Paul George, Kawhi Leonard, and Russell Westbrook are playing like genuine title candidates for the Clippers. The superstars of LA have been collaborating effectively. They could have succeeded every game if Leonard hadn’t been hurt in December.

 

 

The New Orleans Pelicans, meantime, have also been playing well; they have won 9 of their past twelve games. They will be seeking a victory for the 5th time in a row after defeating the Timberwolves 117-106 away in their last game. Leading the team in scoring with 27 points and 6 assists on 11 of 15 shots, Zion Williamson was followed by CJ McCollum with 24 points and 5 assists and Brandon Ingram with 19 points and 7 assists. The Pelicans started quickly and simply put a lot of pressure on the Timberwolves, creating a 24-point advantage before they began to rest several starters in the final period. As a collective unit, they hit 55% from the field and 12 of 26 from three. This game will be a close one, as they are both in really good shape.
