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

 by Carlos Zabala | in NBA Picks

The Thunder faced the Pelicans twice this season and both times the Thunder won and covered the betting sites. They will face each other again at the Paycom Center where Thunder were 14.5-point favorites against the Pelicans on November 13 and would win by 18 points, in a game where Gilgeous-Alexander scored 29 points that time.

This time, the Thunder will face the Pelicans in a game between the first and last of the Western Conference. No team has a better record this season than the Thunder when they were the favorites at home, where they have a record of 23-3.

Thunder got into another positive streak winning the last 5 games, the last of them against the Grizzlies 125-112 reconfirming their dominance over the Memphis team, who they won the last 6 games with an average advantage of 16 points.

Williamson's 40-point night was of little use to the Pelicans as they lost their eighth straight game to the Kings at Golden 1 Center, but they did at least make 14 three-pointers, the most they've done in their last 9 games.

Our New Orleans Pelicans vs Oklahoma City Thunder Prediction

Williamson has yet to play 30 minutes on the court since his return but his 40-point night was recognized for its brilliance by his teammates. Seven of the last 10 games for the Thunder and the Pelicans as well have resulted in a Game Total OVER, and a February in which the Thunder did not record a single game of fewer than 120 points makes another Game Total OVER, if Williamson has a night similar to Saturday's, highly likely. Our prediction for Thunder vs Pelicans is: Over 236.5.
