OKC is a young team without a lot of playoff experience and it showed in Game 1. They came out tight, shot poorly and played sloppily in the first half. They played better in the second half and were able to battle back and get the win. I look for them to shake off game 1, especially after a win and come out sharper on the offensive end. If the Thunder can play like they did during the regular season this game should be a lot easier, considering the Pelicans will be playing without Williamson once again. The Thunder should be able to hold their own on the boards and limit the Pelicans chances at easy points. You can only play at a high level without your star and I look for the Pelicans to stumble a bit in this game.

Play on OKC. This is a 2% play.
