The Oklahoma City Thunder will put their 6-0 record on the line on Sunday against the still winless New Orleans Pelicans at Paycom Center.

Current Form:

The Thunder cruised to their sixth win of the season after trouncing the Washington Wizards 127-108. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander put up 31 points and 7 assists, while Isaiah Joe and Ajay Mitchell contributed 20 points each off the bench. OKC is the No.3 defensive team in the NBA after two weeks, averaging 110.3 points allowed per game.

The Pelicans are one of the two NBA teams still without a win in the season (the other is the Brooklyn Nets). New Orleans is coming off a heartbreaking 124-126 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers on Friday. Zion Williamson led the charge with 29 points, and Jordan Poole erupted for 30 points off the bench. Williamson sank two free throws to tie the game at 124-124 with 9.6 seconds left. But Kawhi Leonard drained a buzzer-beating mid-range jumper from the elbow to keep the Pelicans winless.
