Prop Bets: New Orleans Pelicans VS Los Angeles Clippers 2025-10-31
Pelicans vs. Clippers: A Tale of Two Teams (Where the Clippers Don’t Look Like They’re in a Tailspin)
The New Orleans Pelicans, fresh off a four-game losing streak that included two 30+ point beatdowns, are here to face the Los Angeles Clippers. The Pelicans are +11.5 road underdogs, and honestly, that line feels like a kind bet. Zion Williamson is expected to drop 21.5 points, but let’s be real—his team’s defense might let him down so hard, he’ll probably just pretend to score. The Pelicans’ recent performance? A 32-point loss to the Grizzlies? A 34-point loss to the Knicks? Yeah, they’re about as reliable as a broken umbrella in a hurricane.
The Clippers, meanwhile, are -11.5 favorites, and their implied probability of covering (52.4%) feels like a gentleman’s bet. They’ve got James Harden, who’s -119 on assists over 8.5. Harden’s been dishing out dimes like a slot machine paying out after a long dry spell—if he stays healthy. And if he does, this line’s a steal.
Player Props to Watch:
- Zion Williamson, Points Over 21.5 (-112): Zion’s got the talent, but the Pelicans’ supporting cast? Let’s just say they’re not exactly the A Team.
- Harden, Assists Over 8.5 (-119): If Harden can avoid turnovers and actually look for his teammates, this line’s a lock.
- Trey Murphy III, Rebounds Over 5.5 (-125): Murphy’s a rebounding machine, but against the Pelicans’ frontcourt? It’s a toss-up.
Prediction: The Clippers win by double digits, and Harden dishes out 9+ assists while Zion’s 21.5 points line goes under because the Pelicans’ defense is a sieve that leaks more than a summer camp shower.
Final Score Prediction: Clippers 122, Pelicans 108.
Bonus Prop Bet: Pelicans score fewer than 95 points (-110). Because, well, it’s New Orleans.
