OKC Thunder will host New Orleans Pelicans on Wednesday night in an NBA matchup inside the Paycom Center. The Thunder, who were the No.1 seed in the Western Conference last season, find themselves in a tight race this time, playing catch-up with the Warriors and the Suns despite their solid 8-2 record. They have stuttered lately, losing two of their last three games, falling 116-127 at home to the Warriors on Sunday night. Meanwhile, the Pelicans failed to stop the skid when they lost 115-88 to the Magic on Saturday. They now enter this matchup looking to bounce back from four straight losses. The Pelicans will play the Nets at home on Tuesday morning before visiting OKC Thunder, who face the Clippers at the same time.

Our Oklahoma City Thunder vs New Orleans Pelicans Prediction
The Pelicans need to start winning more consistently if they are to go the distance this season. Their attack has not clicked so far, averaging 107.2 points per contest, which is 25th in basketball. They should struggle to break down the meanest defense in the league, which averages 100.2 points per game. To compound their attacking problems, Zion Williamson has joined Trey Murray on the sidelines with a hamstring injury. Jordan Hawkins and Herb Jones will also sit out of this contest. The Thunder will also be without their entire frontcourt depth, with Kenrich Williams, Jaylin Williams, and Isaiah Hartenstein ruled out. Still, we cannot see them losing. Our prediction for OKC Thunder vs New Orleans Pelicans: OKC Thunder to get the win.
