***7-1 L8 NBA PREMIIUM PLAYS******7-1 L8 NBA PREMIUM PLAYS***I have 1 BIG NBA WINNER for you today in my NBA SLAM DUNK PLAY which are 5-0 L5. Tuesday’s FREE WINNER: Los Angeles Clippers. Game 563. 6:30 PM PST/9:30 PM EST. This is a game if the line will be a little bit lower would've probably been a premium release for me. As of posting this play, the Clippers are lying about six-points. They enter this matchup looking to better their situation in the Western Conference. They currently sit in the eighth spot at 35-29 overall, winning three in a row. Meanwhile, the Pelicans are dwelling in the 14th spot in the West, at 17-48, and are riding a four-game straight up losing streak. They lost a heartbreaker last night at home against Memphis. While they did cover the game (their first ATS cover in their last six outings), I just don't think they have what it takes to bounce back in this situation. I think they got the wind knocked out of them last night, and it's going to sting for a few days. The Clippers took the only meeting this season against the Pelicans back at the end of December on the road, 116-113. Obviously, New Orleans has been hit by the injury bug pretty badly. Plus, it looks like (check status) some of their starting playmakers might be out resting this evening. While their defense is one of the worst in the NBA, ranking 26th, and getting plowed over 119.1 points per game, they are also horrible in most major defensive categories. The rank 29th in field goal percentage allowed, and 29th on the defensive boards. That would be bad enough. But their offense is absolutely atrocious. Granted, Los Angeles is struggling offensively, too. However, their defense ranks fourth in basketball, allowing just 108.7 points per game, and also ranks in the top-10 in most defensive categories. Oh, they are also one of the best in the league on the defensive glass. They will take away any second-chance opportunities their opponent has this evening. As I mentioned earlier, if this line was a little lower, I would've put out the Clippers as a premium play. But I still put a lean on them. Take Los Angeles. Thank you.
