The New Orleans Pelicans have been hot as they won nine of their last 11 matches overall and they will want to remain hot after winning Detroit Pistons in a 114-101 road win on Sunday. Zion Williamson led the Pelicans with 36 points, seven rebounds and six assists on 13 of 14 shooting, CJ McCollum added 23 points with seven assists while Naji Marshall contributed 14 points off the bench.
New Orleans shot 50 percent from the field and 11 of 34 from the 3-point line, but this victory was more about how they did on defense as they were always in charge after restricting Detroit to a poor 10 points in the first quarter. The only spot from a dominant victory was Trey Murphy who shot only one of 12 from the field and zero of nine from the 3-point line. The Pelicans top the 44-27 record, two matches ahead of the Dallas Mavericks.

The Oklahoma City Thunder have been in great form winning seven of the last nine games overall, but they’ll hope to bounce back in this spot after their four-game winning streak was stopped by the Milwaukee Bucks in an 118-93 road loss on Sunday. Josh Giddey heads the team with 19 points, nine rebounds, and eight assists, Jalen Williams contributed 18 points on eight of 15 shooting while Shai Gilgeous-Alexander contributed 12 points.
As a team, Oklahoma shot only 37 percent from the field and 10 of 43 from the 3-point line as they delivered a great defense to mark Milwaukee in the first half, only to get knocked out by 70-46 in the second half as they couldn’t stop the Giannis Antetokounmpo who barely missed all night.
MatchPlug Prediction For New Orleans Pelicans VS Oklahoma City Thunder
The Thunder were one of the NBA’s hottest teams before they lost to the Bucks in their last outing. Meanwhile, the Pelicans are playing some of their best games of the season, despite Ingram being absent. This is a close match, but the Oklahoma might bounce back tonight, after being embarrassed in their last game.
