Pelicans @ Thunder 9:30 PM ET
Game# 586-586
Play On: Pelicans +8.5

New Orleans star Zion Williamson will be out for 3 weeks after sustaining a hamstring injury in a Play-In Tournament home loss to the Lakers this past Tuesday. However, the Pelicans are 8-5 in their 13 games this season that Williamson was out and that includes 6-2 on the road. It’s worth noting that the Pelicans are an outstanding 28-14 on the road this season. Better yet, New Orleans has won their last 6, 10 of their previous 11, and 16 of the past 19 on the road. Oklahoma City has a terrific 33-8 home record. Nevertheless, they sustained 1 of those 8 losses to New Orleans and that was the Pelicans only game at OKC this season. They say the great equalizer for a basketball underdog is their ability to make 3-point shots at a high percentage. Well if that’s the case, New Orleans has made an extremely good 44.5% of their 3-point shot attempts throughout their previous 5 games while averaging 15 makes per contest. Give me the Pelicans plus points.
