The Oklahoma City Thunder will travel to face the New Orleans Pelicans on Monday. Last time they met, the Thunder enjoyed an easy win on Nov. 2. This will be the second matchup of the season between the two squads. It’s the end of a mini two-game road trip for OKC.
The Thunder (13-1) have won five in a row. A second-half surge helped them collect a 109-96 win over the Charlotte Hornets on Saturday. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had an efficient 33 points in three quarters. Chet Holmgren scored 25 points on high volume.
Meanwhile, the Pelicans (2-11) are on the second night of a home back-to-back. They had a 124-106 loss to the Golden State Warriors on Sunday. Trey Murphy III scored 20 points. And that was about it in terms of positive takeaways.

Thunder 120, Pelicans 108: The Thunder have hit a soft spot in their schedule. This should be another easy win for them. Maybe not to the extent of their last matchup, but to the point that Gilgeous-Alexander should rest another fourth quarter if everything goes right for them. The Pelicans are a hot mess. Firing your head coach before Thanksgiving is proof of that. New Orleans has been one of the worst teams. And with Zion Williamson out, the talent gap continues to grow. Both teams are on opposite sides of the NBA highway.
ODDS: Thunder by 17.5 points
