Free Sports Game Preview and Prediction: New Orleans Pelicans vs. Oklahoma City Thunder
Sunday, February 26, 2017 7:00 PM
Play: Point Spread: -6.5/-115 Oklahoma City Thunder
Free Pick on Thunder - It's been two games with Cousins paired alongside Davis in New Orleans and both have resulted in ugly losses. It's just not something that's going to click right away, as there's a lot of learning and adjusting to playing two big men together in today's small ball league. It also doesn't help that the Pelicans have very little talent surrounding these two and no bench. I just don't see it getting any better on the road against the Thunder, who I believe added in two great pieces in Gibson and McDermott from the Bulls. Another big factor here is the huge homecourt edge the Thunder have. Oklahoma City is 21-8 at home this season, outscoring opponents by nearly 7.0 ppg. New Orleans on the other hand is an awful road team with a 9-20 record. The books are simply inflating the line here on the Pelicans after the big trade. Thunder are 16-5 ATS as a favorite of 3.5 to 9.5 and 15-3 ATS in their last 18 games vs a team with a losing straight up record. Take Oklahoma City!
