LA Clippers vs New Orleans Pelicans Predicted Starting Lineups and Depth Chart for March 11 | NBA 2024-25 season

The LA Clippers begin a three-game road trip on Tuesday night at the Smoothie King Center against the New Orleans Pelicans. The Clippers enter the contest on a three-game winning streak, while the Pelicans have lost four in a row. It's also just their second meeting of the season.

The Clippers barely defeated the Pelicans 116-113 on Dec. 30, with Norman Powell scoring 35 points to lead all scorers. CJ McCollum dropped 33 points for New Orleans, but it wasn't enough. The good news for the Pelicans is that they are 7-3 against the Clippers since Jan. 13, 2022.

Regardless of how unlucky the Pelicans have been this season, they seem to be playing well against the Clippers. Let's look at the predicted starting lineups and depth charts for the game, as well as the latest injury reports for both teams.
