New Orleans Pelicans vs Oklahoma City Thunder Betting Preview

The New Orleans Pelicans (3-8) are set to face the Oklahoma City Thunder (9-2) in what promises to be an intriguing matchup on Wednesday night. Tip-off is scheduled for 7:30 PM ET at the Paycom Center, the Thunder's home court. The Thunder are riding high, having won 8 of their last 10 games, and are heavily favored with a spread of -14.5. Their moneyline odds stand at a commanding -1100, reflecting an 89% implied win probability. In contrast, the Pelicans, who have lost five straight games, are significant underdogs with a moneyline of +750, translating to an 11% implied chance of victory.

The Thunder's recent form and home-court advantage make them the team to beat, as they come off a high-scoring 134-128 win against the LA Clippers. Meanwhile, the Pelicans narrowly lost their last outing to the Brooklyn Nets, 107-105, adding to their string of recent struggles.

For those eyeing player prop bets, Trey Murphy III's scoring potential stands out. His points market has garnered significant attention, with sharp bettors leaning towards the Over on 13.5 points at -130 odds. The consensus is that this line might be undervalued, given Murphy's potential to contribute offensively.

As the Pelicans look to break their losing streak, they'll need to find a way to slow down Oklahoma City's momentum. The Thunder, on the other hand, will aim to continue their strong start to the season and capitalize on New Orleans' recent woes. This matchup not only offers intriguing team dynamics but also a wealth of betting opportunities for those looking to engage with the game on a deeper level.
