Injury Report: LA Clippers vs New Orleans Pelicans /

The LA Clippers face off against a team they've only beaten once in two seasons - the New Orleans Pelicans.

The Clippers have three players listed on their injury report: Norman Powell, Mason Plumlee, and Brandon Boston. Norman Powell is the newest name added to this injury report, and he's questionable with right groin soreness. Mason Plumlee is out due to a left MCL sprain, and Brandon Boston is out due to left quadriceps tendinopathy. Kawhi Leonard, Paul George, Russell Westbrook, and James Harden are all listed as available tonight.

The New Orleans Pelicans have four players listed on their injury report: CJ McCollum, Trey Murphy III, Matt Ryan, and Dereon Seabron. CJ McCollum is out due to a collapsed lung, Trey Murphy III is out due to a partial meniscectomy in his left knee, Matt Ryan is out due to a right calf strain, and Dereon Seabron is out due to a G League two-way.

LA has lost to New Orleans 8 out of the last 10 games dating all the way back to the 2020-21 NBA season. There isn't a team in the league that the Clippers struggle with more than the New Orleans Pelicans.

After struggling earlier in the month and losing five straight games, the Pelicans have really found their footing by winning four out of the last five games against really good teams. The Clippers have a similar story of losing six straight games and then winning three straight games, but it wasn't against teams of a high caliber.

If the LA Clippers can figure out a way to knock off their archrival New Orleans Pelicans tonight, then it'll really solidify their winning streak as legit.

The LA Clippers face off against the New Orleans Pelicans at 10:30 p.m. EST tonight.
