It is entirely possible that the New Orleans Pelicans have the worst team in the NBA right now. They are playing poorly on both ends of the floor, as evidenced by their incredibly lopsided average margin. We should see the Clippers win handily in this game and I recommend laying the points with the home team in what could be the biggest blowout of the night in The Association.
