Tip-off is scheduled for 7:00 PM ET. Despite playing on the road, the Thunder are heavily favored, with a spread of -8.0, reflecting their recent form and the Pelicans' ongoing struggles.
Oklahoma City has been playing impressive basketball, winning 15 of their last 20 games. This includes a commanding 129-92 victory over the Toronto Raptors in their most recent outing. On the flip side, the Pelicans have been on a downward trajectory, losing 17 of their last 20 games. However, they did manage to edge out a narrow 126-124 win against the Phoenix Suns in their last game, showing a glimmer of potential.
From a betting perspective, the Thunder are listed at -310 on the moneyline, translating to an implied win probability of 73%. Meanwhile, the Pelicans sit at +260, with a 27% implied chance of pulling off an upset. The odds clearly favor Oklahoma City, but New Orleans' recent win might give them a boost in confidence.
For those looking to explore player prop markets, Dejounte Murray's points and rebounds are drawing significant attention. Initially set at Under 24.5, sharp bettors have moved the line to 23.5, indicating a strong lean towards the under. This shift suggests that bettors anticipate a quieter night for Murray in terms of combined points and rebounds.
As the Thunder aim to continue their winning ways and the Pelicans seek to build on their recent success, this matchup offers intriguing angles for both basketball fans and bettors alike.
