Clippers hit the road for back-to-back with soaring Pelicans

After an extended homestand ended with a thud, the Los Angeles Clippers will be out to solidify their play-in tournament status with back-to-back road games against the New Orleans Pelicans starting Wednesday.

The Pelicans enter with a five-game home winning streak that is part of an 8-4 record since Feb. 21.

The Clippers were on a 7-1 run before losing consecutive home games, including a 119-115 defeat to the San Antonio Spurs on Monday while playing without leading scorer Kawhi Leonard.
