BREAKING: Zion Williamson, James Harden, Naji Marshall Status For The Pelicans-Clippers Game, 2/7

New Orleans Pelicans and Los Angeles Clippers game status for Feb. 7.

If the New Orleans Pelicans, currently 7th in the West with a record of 29-21, want to test their skills against a top team in the league, the Los Angeles Clippers, who are currently ranked 1st in the West with a record of 34-15, tonight's game presents the perfect opportunity.   

Brandon Ingram and New Orleans are flying high after his historic night, scoring 41 points in 29 minutes versus Toronto on Monday.   

Zion Williamson's foot injury makes him questionable for Wednesday's nationally featured Western Conference tilt on ESPN at 9 PM CT. 

An unusual addition to the Pelicans' injury report is swingman Naji Marshall, who is listed as "questionable" due to a lower back injury.

Paul George and James Harden are expected to be full participants before hosting New Orleans at Cypto.com Arena. The lone significant injury is with Moussa Diabate. The Clippers forward is ruled out for Wednesday's game with a hand fracture.

  • The Clippers are a 6.5-point favorite over the Pelicans.
  • The Clippers have 69.2% win probability.
