The New Orleans Pelicans, fresh off a 114-112 loss to the Denver Nuggets last night, will head to Oklahoma to play the rumble-less Thunder, themselves having just stopped an epic losing streak that nearly matched a franchise record. They’ve sat Shai Gilgeous-Alexander for awhile, and Al Horford, and traded George Hill and even Hamidou Diallo. The tank has been on for quite some time.
The Pelicans should definitely win, but we all know how up and down the New Orleans side has been this year. Anything is possible.
For the Thunder
They’ve got two more years of lockdown defender and absolute tank Lu Dort in the backcourt making less than $2M per year.
