The Thunder have long been entrenched at the top of the Western Conference. Mark Dagnolt's team plays dominant basketball and gives almost no chances to their opponents.
In the last match, Oklahoma beat Memphis (125:112). Team leader Shay Gilges-Alexander scored 32 points, continuing his impressive streak. This victory was the fifth in a row for Thunder, which confirms the stability of the team.
At the moment, the team has one of the best attacks in the league, which makes it a dangerous opponent for any club. In the upcoming match, Oklahoma will try to extend its winning streak.

New Orleans Pelicans
USACurrent form
The Pelicans are having a disastrous season. The team is in last place in the Western Conference and continues to disappoint the fans.
In the last match, New Orleans lost to Sacramento (118:123). Despite playing well offensively, the team couldn't hold off the opponent. In the absence of stability in defense, the Pelicans continue to lose points.
Willie Green's team obviously won't be able to fix the situation this season, but in the match against the leader of the West they will have a chance to demonstrate their fighting ability.

The difference in class between the teams is too great. Oklahoma is confidently leading the conference, demonstrating a stable game. All the key players are in line, which makes the hosts the clear favorites. New Orleans is at the opposite pole of the table. Problems in defense and lack of teamwork make them vulnerable. Nevertheless, the Pelicans are trying to be effective and show spectacular basketball. In our opinion, Thunder will win a landslide victory, but the guests will try to impose a fight and avoid defeat.
Our prediction is that New Orleans will win by 1.70 points, taking into account the handicap (+17)
Bet on the total
Both teams rely on attacking, despite their different positions in the standings. Oklahoma will dominate their court, but New Orleans will try to respond with quick counterattacks. We assume that the match will be productive and the total total will be broken.
Forecast - total more than 232.5 points in 1.66
Betting on statistics
Despite their outsider status, the Pelicans are capable of surprising the Oklahoma defense. Willie Green's team knows how to attack, even against top opponents. We believe that the guests will be able to score enough points and break through their individual total.
Prediction – New Orleans' individual total is more than 109.5 points per 1.90
