Advice and prediction
Despite being on the second night of a back-to-back, the Pelicans are rightfully favored heavily against a Thunder side that is effectively openly tanking. Zion Williamson, Brandon Ingram and Lonzo Ball are playing at a high level and that alone should be enough on Thursday. Take New Orleans minus-9.5.
Prediction: Pelicans 120, Thunder 105
