This is a 10* SUPER TOTAL on the OVER Clippers/Pelicans.

With just over a week to go in the regular season, neither team can afford to take the foot off the gas. Currently, the Clippers are in the sixth spot, and the Pelicans are in the eighth.

LA had seen the total go OVER the number in four straight before a 108-94 loss at Memphis last time out. Note though that the Clippers have seen the total go OVER the number in eight of their last 11 off a road loss against an opponent in which they were held to 95 or fewer points in.

LA also plays with revenge after a 131-110 loss to New Orleans as a 5.5-point favorite. And that's also important to note, as the Clippers have seen the total go OVER the number in four of their last five in trying to avenge a SU/ATS loss against an opponent.

The Pels have won six of their last seven. They've seen the total go UNDER in three straight though (and note, New Orleans has seen the total go OVER the number in five of its last seven after playing to three or more straight UNDERS in a row.)

Look for this faster-paced affair to eclipse the posted number sooner, rather than later.

The play is the OVER.

Good luck, NP
