January 28

Clippers @ Pelicans

Similar to the Nuggets, the Pelicans are one of those playoff bubble teams in the same situation as the Clippers. They have one of the best frontcourts in the league as long with the Clippers as Cousins and Davis can put up big numbers on any given night. The Pelicans might win the frontcourt battle but the Pelicans extremely shallow bench may prove deadly against guys like Williams, Rivers and Harrell. Clippers lose the frontcourt battle but win the game as the role players are too much to handle. Clippers win.
