Team	SP/RL	TOTAL	ML
Oklahoma City Thunder	+2 (-105)	231.5 o (-110)	+110
New Orleans Pelicans	-2 (-105)	231.5 u (-110)	-130

The Oklahoma City Thunder suffered back-to-back losses in the hands of Boston Celtics and the latest was against the San Antonio Spurs by 8 points. In the loss, Chris Paul scored 31 points on an accurate 12-of-18 from the field. But with his luck, his teammates were having a hard time finding their rhythm as Danilo Gallinari shot only 255% from the field while Dennis Schroeder and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander only combined for a subpar 31 points. Against the Pelicans, they need to find ways to contain Zion Williamson who looks like getting his groove and fit with his team.

The Pelicans are coming off from their momentum in their three-game winning streak and the most exciting of them all was seeing Zion Willamson have a career-hight of 31 points against the Portland Trail Blazers. It was a dominating night for the rookie who barraged the paint in the presence of shot-blocker Hassan Whiteside. His complete stat line was 31 points, nine rebounds, five assists and a steal. Five other Pelicans scored in double-figures and they did it without Brandon Ingram.
