Nick Gallo (okcthunder.com) previews tonight’s Thunder/Pelicans match-up: “Protecting the defensive glass will be just one crucial aspect of the wholesale defensive gameplan on Monday night against the Pelicans, who are playing with a small, quick, talented lineup surrounding Anthony Davis. At 23.8 points, 12.2 rebounds and 4.8 assists per game, Davis is not only productive but a matchup nightmare every time he touches the floor due to his height and skill level. He can put the ball on the deck, finish around the rim and knock down three-pointers, this season at a 38.5 percent clip.
