New Orleans Pelicans vs OKC Thunder preview

The injury-ravaged Pelicans have been one of the most disappointing teams this season and are on a league-leading eight-game losing streak. The team seemingly just can’t get over the injury hump, having recently lost Dejounte Murray for the season with a torn Achilles.

New Orleans most recently suffered a 123-118 loss to the Sacramento Kings on Saturday. Zion Williamson had 40 points, CJ Mccollum had 31 and Trey Murphy III had 20.

The Thunder have been on an absolute tear and have won five straight. They are 8-2 in the past 10 games and got Chet Holmgren back from injury during a 121-109 win against the Toronto Raptors on Friday. While he sat out the second leg of a back-to-back on Saturday against the Memphis Grizzlies, he should play Monday.

OKC got a 125-112 win against Memphis. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had 32 points and eight assists, while Aaron Wiggins had a double-double of 26 points and 11 rebounds.

Zion Williamson’s points total is set at 21.5, a mark he has crossed in four of his past five games. He should be good for at least 22 points on Monday as well.

SGA’s points total is set at 32.5. While that is lower than his season average of 32.7 points, his offensive workload is expected to decrease with the return of Holmgren. Bet on the under.

New Orleans Pelicans vs OKC Thunder prediction

The oddsmakers heavily favor the Thunder to get a win at home and for good reason. They have the best record in the league and looked that part across the season. OKC should cover the spread for a dominating win. This should be a high-scoring game with the team total going past 235 points.
