New Orleans Pelicans vs Oklahoma City Thunder Prediction & Picks - NBA

 by Will Chace | in NBA Picks

The Oklahoma City Thunder drew first blood in their first round series with the New Orleans Pelicans on Sunday night thanks to a 94-92 win. Superstar Shai Gilgeous-Alexander proved instrumental in the Thunder’s first playoff victory since before the pandemic. The youngest team to secure a number one seed since seeding began in 1984, Oklahoma City have high hopes of postseason success. Yet they still have 3 more wins to go before they can dispatch New Orleans, who are weakened by an injury to a star of their own. Zion Williamson picked up a knock in their first Play-In Tournament game against the Lakers and diagnosed the big man with a left hamstring strain. His return date remains unknown, but Pelicans fans are hopeful he will be back in time to make an impact in this opening round. Game 2 will be the last chance for New Orleans to earn a road victory before the series shifts to Crescent City.

Our New Orleans Pelicans vs Oklahoma City Thunder Prediction

While Oklahoma City were firmly in the driver’s seat for the majority of Sunday’s game, they were never able to fully separate themselves. Now in a rematch in Oklahoma City and having witnessed the Pelicans’ game plan without Zion Williamson first-hand, best believe the Thunder will be prepared to take control of the reins. We expect Oklahoma City to not only win again but cover comfortably this time around. Our New Orleans Pelicans vs Oklahoma City Thunder prediction: Oklahoma City -7.5 (-110) at Caesars Sportsbook.
