That’s almost their entire starting lineup which certainly does not inspire much confidence in their chances against the Thunder and SGA, who has been magnificent this season and enters this one after dropping 45 points against the Nets. Our Oklahoma City Thunder vs New Orleans Pelicans prediction: Oklahoma Thunder -14.5!
