No Ingram, Zion or Naji to start. Daulton Hommes was already injured. Jose Alvarado and Didi Louzada are in Birmingham.
With Hart’s ejection, Pelicans are down to 10 players – the 9 players other than Hart who saw action in 1H and Willy Hernangomez. – 9:25 PM
Will Guillory @WillGuillory
Herb Jones starts the 2nd half in Josh Hart’s place – 9:25 PM
Alex Schiffer @Alex__Schiffer
Final: Nets beat the Magic 123-90. Kevin Durant dropped 30, James Harden had a triple-double, LaMarcus Aldridge stays hot, and Brooklyn is back in the win column. On to New Orleans. – 9:19 PM

Jim Eichenhofer @Jim_Eichenhofer
Lots of Jonas Valanciunas (18 pts, 6 reb) and #Pelicans technical fouls (5) in 1H. Hart got two for arguing, Valanciunas one for arguing, but less demonstratively than Hart. Graham tech for throwing ball into basket stanchion. Didn’t see Hayes’ T, but it was right after a putback – 9:12 PM
Will Guillory @WillGuillory
End of the 1st half: Thunder 56, Pelicans 48
Valanciunas 18 pts & 7 rebs
Graham 10 pts
NAW 5 pts
Pels were held to 19 pts in the 2nd after a really shaky offensive stretch. Josh Hart was also ejected after a rough OTB call. Five techs total in the 2nd quarter. – 9:12 PM
Brandon Rahbar @BrandonRahbar
Lu Dort has more points at the half than SGA + the entire Thunder bench combined. – 9:11 PM
Joe Mussatto @joe_mussatto
The officials — Scott Foster, Natalie Sago, Jenna Schroeder — booed off the floor at halftime here in New Orleans. – 9:11 PM

HALF: OKC 56, Pels 48

Rylan Stiles @Rylan_Stiles
Lol how did Josh Giddey perfectly pop that pass up to Favors? Being that skilled at basketball must be incredibly fun. – 9:10 PM

Opposing defenders just run hard at Trey Murphy III. Hope he soon learns to dribble it decisively once and raise up for a jumper, whether it’s a two or three. – 9:08 PM
Rylan Stiles @Rylan_Stiles
I think the Pelicans have a right to be upside with this crew, but five techs is a bit excessive lol. – 9:07 PM
Oklahoma City Thunder @okcthunder
we believe in Lu Dort supremacy

Scott Kushner @ScottDKushner
You could sense the frustration bubbling.
And Josh Hart gets launched after the fourth different Pelican gets hit with a technical foul in the first half. – 9:05 PM
Will Guillory @WillGuillory
Josh Hart just got ejected after a really bad over the back call.
These refs are losing control of this one. It’s been bad. – 9:05 PM
Jim Eichenhofer @Jim_Eichenhofer
Josh Hart ejected after two techs for arguing. Looked like an OKC player jumped on Hart’s back as they went to grab a rebound, which is why Hart was initially so upset and then continued to vehemently disagree with ref and the call – 9:05 PM
Christian Clark @cclark_13
Josh Hart gets tossed. Pelicans have gotten five — five! — technical fouls this quarter. – 9:04 PM
Joe Mussatto @joe_mussatto
Some really harsh officiating against the Pelicans in this one. Already four technicals. Josh Hart just got t’d up twice and tossed by Scott Foster. – 9:04 PM
Andrew Lopez @_Andrew_Lopez
Josh Hart just got tossed after a very questionable foul call by Scott Foster.
Pels up to 5 techs in this game so far. – 9:04 PM
Oleh Kosel @OlehKosel
Jaxson Hayes thought he got fouled on the last play. Let the referee know while jogging back on defense. Another technical foul.
Not sure who he thinks he is, but he hasn’t remotely established himself yet to consistently bark at referees and hope it somehow helps. – 9:02 PM
Andrew Lopez @_Andrew_Lopez
From the 7:59 mark to the 3:55 mark – OKC went on a 15-0 run.
Pels went 0-11 in that stretch before that Jaxson putback. – 9:00 PM
Will Guillory @WillGuillory
Another technical foul. This one on Jaxson Hayes.
This is wild. – 9:00 PM
Eliot Clough @EliotClough
Just now joining the stream, and I heard Joel Meyers say “Pels struggling offensively” and they’re down five to the Thunder
Can’t say I’m surprised, unfortunately – 8:58 PM
Joe Mussatto @joe_mussatto
No Theo Maledon so far. Tre Mann and Ty Jerome have been the guards off the bench. – 8:58 PM
Oleh Kosel @OlehKosel
Devonte’ Graham just picked up a technical foul for lightly tossing the ball off the bottom of the stanchion. His frustration is evident. Pelicans are in midst of another massive scoring drought and they failed to finish off last defensive possession. – 8:57 PM
Will Guillory @WillGuillory
Those looked like two pretty weak technical fouls early in this one.
Thunder are currently on a 14-0 run. – 8:56 PM
Oleh Kosel @OlehKosel
Just when it looked like the Pelicans might be on their way to building a nice double digit lead here in the second quarter, the Thunder have gone on a 11-0 run to retake the lead at 42-39. – 8:54 PM
Scott Kushner @ScottDKushner
Despite some teeth gnashing on here, I think tonight’s Pelicans crowd is noticeably larger than the Hawks and Kings game during the last home stand. – 8:53 PM
Oklahoma City Thunder @okcthunder
you already know what i’m gonna say, partner 🤠
that passing sequence was nasty! pic.twitter.com/Cw5HI3EfyU8:53 PM

Jim Eichenhofer @Jim_Eichenhofer
Jonas Valanciunas technical foul after he didn’t like no call on his physical drive to the basket vs. Muscala, who can’t be having much fun in that matchup – 8:51 PM
Brandon Rahbar @BrandonRahbar
Giddey got tired of missed assists and decided to just start scoring himself. – 8:50 PM
Joe Mussatto @joe_mussatto
Giddey has been terrific tonight. Creating his own and for others. – 8:50 PM
Joe Mussatto @joe_mussatto
Giddey, Mann, Deck, Williams, Muscala is quite a crew. – 8:46 PM
New Orleans Pelicans @PelicansNBA
Devonte’ Graham with 10 points in the first quarter 👏

Trey Murphy skies over two Thunder players, collects the rebound and dunks. Rookie has got some ups. Pels lead by six. – 8:44 PM
Will Guillory @WillGuillory
Great example of Trey Murphy making an impact outside of hitting 3s. The coaching staff has been pushing him to use his size and athleticism more often. – 8:43 PM
Andrew Lopez @_Andrew_Lopez
In case you were wondering, Jonas Valanciunas’ career high is 34 points.
He’s up to 16 already with 9:13 left in the 2Q right now. – 8:42 PM
Rylan Stiles @Rylan_Stiles
Fantastic PnR coverage by JRE even though the pelicans scored. Really hard to play 2-on-1 but he did it well after Giddey got taken out of the play with screens. – 8:41 PM
Brandon Rahbar @BrandonRahbar
Pouring one out for all of Josh Giddey’s beautiful should’ve been assists: pic.twitter.com/A0S7nH0OiV8:41 PM
Jim Eichenhofer @Jim_Eichenhofer
First time watching Josh Giddey in person, his passing guys open and seeing the floor is pretty impressive – 8:40 PM

Herb Jones and Kenny Hustle on the court at the same time.
Intangibles are through the roof right now – 8:31 PM

Tre Mann getting first-quarter minutes. – 8:30 PM
Jim Eichenhofer @Jim_Eichenhofer
#Pelicans are 26th in #NBA in three-point percentage but off to 4/10 start vs. OKC, with Graham sinking two of those. Thunder rank 28th – 8:30 PM
Oleh Kosel @OlehKosel
Herb Jones is in, and on the Pels next offensive possession, he drove hard to the rim, trying to take a life on a dunk attempt. Man is he fun. – 8:27 PM
Will Guillory @WillGuillory
Herb Jones checks in for the first time tonight. He’s tasked with guarding Shai Gilgeous-Alexander – 8:25 PM

Herb Jones checks in and immediately starts guarding Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. – 8:25 PM

Herbert Jones is back, y’all. And he’ll share the same court as Luguentz Dort tonight. #SuperEffort
Also: NAW vs SGA.
Most are thinking it’ll be an unwatchable matchup. I see solid potential for a fun contest between the Pelicans and Thunder. 🤷🏻‍♂️ https://t.co/DjWStltqd3 pic.twitter.com/yAXkZjezCT7:18 PM

But @CaesarsSports still lists New Orleans as a 4-point favorite. – 7:13 PM
Will Guillory @WillGuillory

Should provide a nice boost for a team that needs all the depth it can get. – 7:13 PM

Brandon Rahbar @BrandonRahbar
Mark Daigneault on SGA: “I don’t want to oversimplify his growth, but a lot of it is flat out work.”
Daigneault shared a Tom Brady story in his love for practicing and preparing. He said “I’m not comparing Shai to Tom Brady” as he totally compared Shai to Tom Brady. – 6:46 PM

This team needs Brandon Ingram so badly, and his situation is actually more opaque than Zion’s right now.

The streak has ended.
The Pelicans are a 5-point favorite for tonight’s home game vs Oklahoma City.
It’s the first time New Orleans has been favored this season Pels were at least 6-point underdogs each of the past five games. – 3:08 PM
