The New Orleans Pelicans got off to a nightmarish start to the 2016-17 NBA season. Unfortunately, it has not ended, and they play host to Oklahoma City tonight. New Orleans has a huge star in Anthony Davis, but as we have seen, he can't beat opponents all by himself. Oklahoma City has what looks to be the hands down league MVP in Russell Westbrook, who dropped 46 points last night on Atlanta. The Pelicans are just 1-4 SU in their last four at home, and have just not been able to ride Davis to the win column. The star is shinning brighter with the Thunder in Westbrook, and the supporting cast certainly provides more options. Play Oklahoma City minus the points.
