Point spread: Pelicans -5.5
Moneyline: Pelicans -225 / Thunder +190
Over-under: 215.5



NEW ORLEANS PELICANS

quote:

It has been a rough start to the season for the Pelicans on the offensive end of the floor. The new puzzle pieces of Eric Bledsoe and Steven Adams aren’t working at the moment. It’s clearly a work in progress that’s going to take a little more time than expected.

Rome wasn’t built in a day, and the Pelicans’ offense isn’t going to start humming in the first four games of the season. They certainly could have used some humming in Tuesday’s blowout loss to the Suns. Star guard Devin Booker only scored eight points, and the Pelicans still lost the game. More importantly, they only scored 86 points doing so.

Ouch.




OKC THUNDER

quote:

The Thunder knows a thing or two about managing a young roster full of inexperienced players. Granted, it isn’t exactly the same situation considering the seemingly endless ceiling the Pelicans have with a player like Williamson, but this Oklahoma City team is still showing some fight. They dropped a one-point loss to the Jazz before melting down late against Orlando.

It’ll be interesting to see if they can keep it together against one of the young, elite defensive teams in the Pelicans. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander will especially have his hands full with Ball lurking on the floor for New Orleans. We’re only a few games into the season, and some are already pondering if Ball will qualify for the NBA’s All-Defensive team.

That’s how good he’s been in limited action.

I know people want to win! But before the season started most people here had the pelicans fighting for the 10th spot just to get the play in tournament! Here's a fact. If they're 10 which you predicted. Then they aren't winning 50 games! Probably not even 40. BUT! I know. Its how you lose that matters! That performance against the sun's was garbage.
Go pels!

We are a young team and that was a bad loss to the Suns. Let’s look at some of the preseason favorites Nets have 2 losses ,Mavericks are 1-3, Lakers have 2 losses, season is young. Let’s geaux Pelicans!

Don’t call me Shirley.

I’ll be watching this until the wife makes me turn it off for party time.

Or until Poku has 50.
