Pelicans vs Thunder Picks & Prediction
New Orleans took advantage of its second opportunity to advance to the playoffs by pulling away from Sacramento, 105-98 on Friday night to grab the 8th seed in the West.
The surprising Oklahoma City Thunder own the top seed at 57-25 after outlasting both Denver and Minnesota to win the Northwest Division.
The Thunder captured two of three regular season meetings from the Pelicans this season.
Both OKC wins came in the Big Easy as short favorites, while blowing an early 19-point lead at home to the Pelicans in a 110-106 defeat in November.
This will be the largest number that the Thunder are laying to the Pelicans, but also it has to do with the absence of forward Zion Williamson, who is sidelined with a hamstring injury.
The Pelicans are 7-1 ATS in their last eight games as a road underdog, which includes six outright victories.
The pressure is no doubt on the Thunder to keep up this remarkable season, especially with the Pelicans missing one of their top two players.
Let's look at the Pelicans here as an underdog to cover in Game 1.
