Oklahoma City at New Orleans

Oklahoma City has been great on defense all year, ranked #4 in the NBA in points allowed, and now they have their star offensive players back. Russell Westbrook excelled in his first game back from injury, and Kevin Durant is reportedly close to joining him. Westbrook had 32 points on 12-of-17 shooting, eight assists and seven rebounds in his return from a fractured right hand in a 105-78 rout of New York on Friday. Oklahoma City is 7-1-1 ATS against the West, and they face a New Orleans team that is in the middle of the pack in points scored, points allowed and rebounding. The Pelicans are 0-4 ATS in their last four games playing on two days of rest. Oklahoma City is 14-1 in the last 15 matchups with both Westbrook and Durant on the floor and the Thunder are 7-1 ATS in the last eight meetings in New Orleans. The value here is for OKC to win the game, so play the Thunder on the moneyline.
