NEW ORLEANS -- After a disappointing 94-93 loss at the hands of the Washington Wizards last Saturday in Washington D.C., the New Orleans Pelicans hope to bounce back when they host the Los Angeles Clippers Monday night at the Smoothie King Center.
Since hosting the NBA All-Star Weekend last February 14 to 16, New Orleans' Anthony Davis will be reunited with fellow All-Stars Chris Paul and Blake Griffin of the visiting Clippers.
Former Pelicans guards Willie Green and Darren Collison are also in L.A.'s powerhouse roster.
Both teams last met on December 18, 2013 at Staples Center in Los Angeles, California where the Clippers tripped the Pelicans, 108-95. Davis nailed 24 points and grabbed 12 rebounds in a losing effort.
The fourth-best team in the Western Conference, the Clippers tote a 38-20 won-lost record while the Pelicans are ranked 12th with a 23-32 slate. (AIJ)
Here?s the New Orleans Pelican?s probable starter:
PG Brian Roberts 6?1, SG Eric Gordon 6?4, SF Al-Farouq Aminu 6?9, PF Anthony Davis 6?10, C Alexis Ajinca 7?2 getting ready to stop the last three game losing streak.
Still out for injury: PF Ryan Anderson, PG Jrue Holiday, C Jason Smith
