Oklahoma City Thunder vs New Orleans Pelicans Preview

The Oklahoma City Thunder are coming off a 112-125 win over the Memphis Grizzlies in their last outing. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander once again had a 30-plus point game, finishing with 32 points and 8 assists. 2 He shot 8-26 from the field and 3-5 from long range, and he was effective in drawing fouls inside the paint, scoring 13 of his 15 free throws. Jalen Williams scored 25 points, while Aaron Wiggins tallied a double-double with 26 points and 11 rebounds. Isaiah Hartenstein also scored a double-double with 12 points, 14 rebounds, and 4 assists. All of the starters scored at least 12 points against the Grizzlies, which demonstrates their strong offensive production. The Thunder will certainly enter the contest as favorites, and against the Pelicans, their strategy will likely be to double-team Zion Williamson and neutralize his scoring.

The New Orleans Pelicans enter this contest on the back of a 123-118, 5-point loss against the new-look Sacramento Kings, despite Zion Williamson’s 40-point performance and CJ McCollum’s 31 points. The Pelicans struggle to score at crucial times of the game, especially as they have failed to close out games, losing three of their last five games by a margin of 5 or fewer points. Another major issue is the lack of scoring from their bench players. The Pelicans are currently on an eight-match losing streak, during which they have scored 115.5 points and allowed 127.8 points per game. Their recent away record has also been awful, as they have lost their last six away games, scoring 113.8 points and allowing 125 points per game. The Pelicans are in for another tough night on their trip to Oklahoma City to face the Thunder.
