The Los Angeles Clippers will host the New Orleans Pelicans for a win-or-go-home play-in game on Friday, April 15. The Pelicans beat the San Antonio Spurs 113-103 on Wednesday to advance in the play-in tournament.
The Clippers handily beat the Pelicans 119-100 earlier this month, but there are reasons to be weary of New Orleans, the first of which has to do with momentum. Unlike the Clippers, the Pelicans will go into Friday’s game with a win fresh in their memory. The Clippers narrowly lost to the Minnesota Timberwolves 109-104 on Tuesday.
