The LA Clippers have looked great in their last couple of games. Granted, they were against likely non-playoff teams. Today, the Clippers head to New Orleans to face a team that will be fighting for a playoff seed towards the end of the year.
Here’s the thing though. The team we see on the court today won’t really look like the Pelicans towards the end of the year. Jrue Holiday is out for his sixth straight game and is a likely trade candidate. J.J. Redick will miss the game with a hamstring injury. Jahlil Okafor is also out.
