The New Orleans Pelicans will look to extend their win streak to five games tonight when they head to the Intuit Dome to take on the LA Clippers.

Saddiq Bey has been a jack of all trades for New Orleans of late, and I predict that he’ll fill the box score again in my Pelicans vs. Clippers predictions and NBA picks for Sunday, March 1.
Pelicans vs Clippers prediction
Pelicans vs Clippers best bet: Saddiq Bey Over 8.5 rebounds + assists (+110)
The New Orleans Pelicans are dealing with several injuries to key players, with Trey Murphy III, Zion Williamson, and Dejounte Murray likely out tonight.
That leaves the ball in the hands of Saddiq Bey, who’s stepped up admirably over the past couple of months.
Bey averaged a combined 10 assists and rebounds per game in February, notching Over 8.5 in four of his last six outings.
While the Los Angeles Clippers will likely clamp down Bey to try and limit his own scoring, the Pelicans guard will be able to dish off and create offense through his teammates.

If Bey is the guy for the Pelicans, then Kawhi Leonard is definitely the guy for the Clippers.
Leonard has recorded two straight games with 30+ points and should have no problem running it up again vs. the fifth-worst defense in the NBA.

Our “from downtown” SGP: Eclipsing their total
The Clippers are in the middle of a three-game skid, but should be able to turn it around and run up the score tonight vs. a banged-up Pelicans squad.
Bennedict Mathurin has looked good since joining LA last month, with 21.3 ppg over his first five contests.

Brook Lopez has also recorded Over 9.5 points in three of his last five games.
