New Orleans Pelicans vs Oklahoma City Thunder Prediction & Betting Tips - NBA
by Matthew Newman | in NBA Predictions
A trip to New Orleans for the 17-5 Oklahoma Thunder is coming up early on Sunday morning to take on the 5-18 Pelicans. The home side is bottom of the west while their visitors are top of the same conference. Does that make for an easy prediction on the match?
The Pelicans are 4-7 on their own court, it's their road record of 1-11 that sees them so far down the pecking order in the west. It has been a struggle to put points on the board, bottom of the NBA with an average of 104.3 per game.
They ended a nine-game losing skid at home to the Phoenix Suns in their last home game. How much confidence they can get from that remains to be seen.
Oklahoma are only 9th in points scored but they have built their foundation on strong defensive work. Only the Orlando Magic concede fewer points on average and no team has more steals than the Thunder.
Shea Gilgeous-Alexander is leading the entire league in points scored. His 29.8 average is good for fourth in the NBA and a full eight points clear of Jalen Williams who is second on the team.
