When the New Orleans Pelicans headed out on this three-game road trip against three teams currently in the Western Conference Playoffs, it was most crucial that they didn’t come home empty-handed.
After a split with the win over the Phoenix Suns and loss to the Utah Jazz, the team has a chance to take home a best-of-three split against the LA Clippers.
Tonight’s game tips off at 8 p.m. CT from the hallowed grounds of the Staples Center.
Last time these two teams squared off, the New Orleans Pelicans left with a clutch, 132-127 victory in the halls of the Smoothie King Center on the night of Paul George‘s debut.
