After sweeping the season series with the Lakers, the Pelicans have an opportunity to accomplish the same feat against the other team from Los Angeles on Sunday night.
The Clippers sit just above the Pelicans in the Western Conference standings; however, that fails to reflect New Orleans’ dominance over them to date.
In their three victories, the Pelicans have beaten the Clippers by an average of 18.7 points and it hasn’t mattered whether Paul George has been in L.A.’s lineup or not. That’s noteworthy because their star returned to action a few days ago after missing 43 games due to a torn ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) in his right elbow.
