Even if Brandon Ingram plays on Wednesday, a sore knee may hamper his production in this game. I look for the OKC Thunder at home to take down the Pelicans as they lost 3 of 4 games last yr vs the Pelicans. Oklahoma City has multiple scorers with Giddey, Holmregn and of course Gilgeous-Alexander. The Thunder are a huge threat in the Western Conference and it starts with their athleticism and defensive awareness.

Take Oklahoma City to cover.
