Pelicans vs. Thunder Prediction:

Take the Pelicans, I know New Orleans is extremely banged up but this too big of number in my opinion. New Orleans gets a big boost with Trey Murphy returning and Missi has been playing well. The Thunder have a big home game with the Suns on Friday, this could be a bit of a lookahead spot for them. I like New Orleans to stay within the big number.
