New Orleans @ L.A. Clippers

Motivation is everything in the Orlando bubble. The Pelicans come off a tough loss to the Jazz and now stand in 11th place but just 3 1/2 games out of eighth. As of right now it looks like there will be three or four teams within four games of the eight seed that would trigger a round-robin for the final playoff bid. The Clippers are coming off a hard-fought loss of their own. The Clippers are also without Lou Williams and Montrezl Harrell. The Clippers are locked in the playoffs while the Pelicans are playing for the playoffs. Take New Orleans.

On Thursday, the Pelicans were up by 16 points over the Jazz, but lost 106-104. This has been a big Over indicator, as New Orleans is 25-0 to the Over after a loss in which it held a double-digit lead, attempted at least 25 3s and made better than 20 percent of them. Los Angeles was sloppy with the ball in its first game back against the Lakers on Thursday. This has also been a big Over indicator, as they are 9-0 to the Over with rest off a loss in which they had at least five turnovers more than their season-to-date average, flying Over the number by an average of 20.06 points per game. Finally, the Clips are 9-0 to the Over at home after a game as a road dog in which they had at least 30 percent of their points from 3s. We are on the Over.
