New Orleans at Oklahoma City

Oklahoma City won't be in a letdown spot after barely winning Game 1 when Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 28 points, including the go-ahead basket with 32.5 seconds left. It was the Thunder's first home playoff game since 2019 and they will be just as focused in Game 2 after the narrow victory. The Thunder are 25-12 ATS playing with two days rest and they have covered five of their past six home contests. New Orleans is 2-5 ATS following an ATS win and 7-16 ATS as a playoff underdog of 5.0-10.5 points. We can expect both teams to shoot better after they each had an off-shooting game and the Pelicans shot just 39 percent and 11 of 39 3-pointers. Oklahoma City had averaged 124 points its previous five games. The Thunder has gone OVER five of seven with two days rest and five of seven after an ATS loss. The OVER is 6-2 in Oklahoma City's past eight games versus teams with .600 road winning percentages. Take the Thunder as a Max Play, and bet this game to go OVER.
