The New Orleans Pelicans vs Oklahoma Thunder preview:
Pelicans:
They come to this game having won three of the last five games they have played. In their last game of the season, they lost to the Timberwolves 108 - 113. No Zion Williamson, no problem. Bron Ingram comes to this game having put up 42 points and 12 rebounds. If he can perform like this, then they have a chance.
Thunder:
Oklahoma comes to this game having won only two games of the last five. However, those two last wons are back to back, which could signal that the team is turning things around. In their last game of the season, they beat Memphis 100 - 115 with a limited lineup that averaged 20 points per player in that game. If they can produce those numbers, they could put this away.
The New Orleans Pelicans vs the Oklahoma Thunder Prediction:
Oklahoma is coming to this game as a slight favorite. New Orleans has a bit more talent, but the Thunder is the better team. This is the most even game of all the play-in games so far. But Oklahoma should win this one.
For this game we predict that the Thunder will win this one 95 - 90
