The New Orleans Pelicans visit the OKC Thunder on Monday night in hopes of ending an eight-game losing streak. The Pelicans are at the bottom of the Western Conference standings at 12-40, while the Thunder are on the opposite end with a record of 42-9.
Monday's game will be the third matchup of the season between the Pelicans and Thunder. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and company won the first two games on Nov. 13 (106-98) and Dec. 7 (119-109). The Thunder have also gotten the better of the Pelicans in four straight games.
Nevertheless, it's still going to be a competitive game, especially if Zion Williamson can duplicate his performance in their 123-118 loss to the Sacramento Kings on Saturday. Williamson had 40 points, four rebounds and four assists in just 28 minutes.
