The Oklahoma City Thunder go on the road to take on the New Orleans Pelicans. Oklahoma City fell out of the Western Conference lead, a half-game behind Denver. The New Orleans Pelicans are 5th in the West. This is the third and final matchup between these teams, as they split their two games. The Thunder are 5th in offensive efficiency and 6th in defensive efficiency according to dunksandthrees.com. The New Orleans Pelicans will be without Brandon Ingram, who is out with a bone contusion in his knee. The Pelicans have still won five of their last six. The Pelicans rank 11th in offensive efficiency and 5th in defensive efficiency. The Thunder have covered in just one of their last six games. The Pelicans have covered four of their last six. Oklahoma City has covered the spread in eight straight meetings against the Pelicans. I expect OKC to bounce back after their worst game of the season. On the bright side, the starters didn’t play in the fourth and should be fresh for this game.

Play on OKC. This is a 3% play.
