Pelicans face large challenge of beating Clippers to advance to 2022 playoffs

The New Orleans Pelicans may be playing with house money, but that doesn’t mean anyone is ready to watch their uplifting season come to a conclusion.

A once unthinkable trip to the 2022 playoffs sits in the crosshairs, with the Los Angeles Clippers presenting the last remaining obstacle.

Both teams will battle it out Friday night, with tip-off scheduled for 9:00 p.m. CT, for the right to earn the eighth seed and a date against the Phoenix Suns in the first round.

Win or lose, this New Orleans season is already a success.
