The OKC Thunder will welcome the New Orleans Pelicans next in the NBA. The two teams sit on opposite ends of the Western Conference standings. Below is our prediction for this match.
The Thunder have compiled another winning streak. This has become synonymous with them this season. Mike Daigneault’s men have won their last five matches.
This latest streak has seen them move into the best record in the league. OKC have won 42 of 51 matches. They defeated the Grizzlies, who possess the second-best record in the West, 125-112 last time out.
OKC, who have Lu Dort and Chet Holmgren available for selection after injury absentia, have won both meetings with the Pels this season.
The Pelicans possess the poorest record in the West and the second-worst record across both conferences. They have lost 40 of their 52 fixtures and are currently on an eight-game losing streak.
Willie Green’s men, who are on the final night of a four-game road trip, were defeated 123-118 last time out by the Kings. The Pelicans have managed just four wins away from home out of 26 trips.
