NBA Preview: New Orleans Pelicans seek to clinch playoff berth with win over Los Angeles Clippers

The New Orleans Pelicans (46-34) are on the cusp of the 2018 playoffs, needing just a lone win to guarantee playing deeper into April and possibly beyond.

The first opportunity to punch that postseason ticket comes Monday night against the Los Angles Clippers (42-38), but honestly, lets hope New Orleans jumps at the chance instead of waiting to beat the San Antonio Spurs on the last day of the regular season. We’ve been put through the wringer enough, fans deserve a break!

In their previous game over the weekend, Los Angeles was eliminated from the playoff race after suffering a 134-115 defeat at the hands of the Denver Nuggets.
