Thunder vs Pelicans predictions, picks

Justin Martinez: OKC 126, New Orleans 97

New Orleans ranks last in points per game (108.2) and 27th in offensive rating (107.6), and it’ll be on the second night of a back-to-back. That’s not a winning formula against an elite OKC defense, which recently saw the return of All-Defensive first team guard Lu Dort. The Thunder should enforce its will on that end of the floor, and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander should continue to dominate on offense. I’m going with OKC on the road.
