Why the Thunder Will Cover (+2)
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jaylen Williams are both back in the lineup tonight, and they should be well-rested. Add to it that Brandon Ingram is a game-time decision after spraining his ankle late in the game Wednesday night. Taking all of that into consideration, plus the fact that the Pelicans have a few other injuries they’re dealing with, I feel pretty good about OKC covering and pulling out a win on the road.
Why the Game Will Hit the Over (233.5)
SGA has been on a tear lately, and despite his injury, he’s been putting up high-scoring on high efficiency. Meanwhile, Jaylen Williams has also been playing his best basketball of the season. While I think OKC gets the win in New Orleans, I do think it’ll be a fairly close game, so in the end, I expect to see plenty of points. I’m taking the over on the point total.
