Pregame Primer: Thunder (9-2), Pelicans (3-8) in juiceless National TV matchup

NBA.com preview | Tip-off: 6:30 PM | Broadcast: ESPN

3 Big Things

  • Injuries suck. These aren't the real versions of either team, and being an early national broadcast disappointment rubs that in. This should have been a juicy match-up, but it's lost most of its luster without a handful of the best Oklahoma City (injury report: bad) and New Orleans (injury report: even worse) players available.
  • OKC is still fun.
