New Orleans at Oklahoma City

Premium Pick

The season has not gone the way the New Orleans Pelicans had hoped. They have had to play without Zion Williamson, and now they add several players with covid-19. Put that together with some injury issues, and this team doesn't look like it did before the season started. Oklahoma City didn't have high expectations this season, and after a sluggish, 6-16 start to their season, they have played a lot better lately. Oklahoma City is 5-4 in its last nine games, including 3-1 in their last four with good wins over Memphis, the Clippers, and Denver. The records look similar, but recent results show a healthy Thunder team having success while the Pelicans have a lot of roster issues right now that are going to catch up with them. Make the play on Oklahoma City.
