Result:
LOSS

Oklahoma City can play any style, #2 in the NBA in points scored and #6 in field goal shooting defense. Oklahoma City All-Star guard Russell Westbrook has torched the Pelicans twice this season and is averaging 33 points, nine rebounds, and nine assists in the Thunder's two victories. Westbrook had 24 points, 13 assists, and seven rebounds as Oklahoma City finished a four-game season sweep of Dallas with a 116-103 victory yesterday. New Orleans has a losing record and is short on defense, #24 in field goal shooting defense and #25 in points allowed. All-Star forward Anthony Davis had 59 points two games ago, but the last game Washington swarmed him and he had 9 points on three-of-nine shooting. The Pelicans are on a 3-8 spread run. The Thunder have averaged 115.5 points while winning both of this season's meetings, and Oklahoma City is 8-2 ATS in the last 10 meetings in New Orleans. Play Oklahoma City.
