Oklahoma City Thunder vs New Orleans Pelicans Analysis
Thunder Maintains High Level of Play
In the recent Game 3 win, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander once again showed off his brilliance, contributing 24 points and distributing 8 assists for the Oklahoma City Thunder. The team witnessed a balanced offensive effort, with four players reaching double digits in scoring. Gilgeous-Alexander's great performance throughout the season earned him recognition as one of the top contenders for the Most Valuable Player title, finishing with an impressive average of 30.1 points per game. The Thunder have maintained a high level of excellence throughout the season, elevating their game even further in the postseason. Their wins in the series have displayed their versatility, winning games with scores as low as 94 points and as high as 124 points. Whether the game unfolds defensively or turns into a high-scoring affair, the Thunder shows confidence in their ability to emerge victorious. Since their last defeat on April 5th, where they suffered back-to-back losses to the Celtics by 35 points and the Pacers by 14 points, the Thunder has remained undefeated, showcasing their resilience and determination.A Shadow of Themselves: Pelicans' Offense Slumps Without Williamson
On the other side, the absence of Zion Williamson, particularly since the first play-in game, has been a massive setback for the New Orleans Pelicans. With Williamson sidelined, the Pelicans find themselves on the brink of elimination. In the recent Game 3 loss, Brandon Ingram led the scoring for the Pelicans with 19 points. Williamson's absence is felt big time, considering his stellar season performance. The former Duke standout appeared in 70 games, averaging nearly 23 points and nearly 6 rebounds per game. Ingram follows closely behind as the team's second-leading scorer, averaging 20.8 points per game. To garner any hope of turning the series around, the Pelicans know the urgency to improve their scoring. In all three losses thus far, they have failed to surpass the 100-point mark, with an average scoring output of just 90 points per game.OKC Thunder vs NO Pelicans Betting Picks
The Oklahoma City Thunder are ready to put this series to rest. They are ready to get the win here and wait for their second-round opponent. The Thunder are going to have to play well to win this game, but in the end, we like their chances. We like the Thunder to battle throughout and come away with a 5-point win on the road. That is enough to cover the spread. We will also take the OVER in this game.

Our final score prediction for this is a tight one. We like the Thunder behind their young scorers to get to 105. The New Orleans Pelicans are going to finish right at 100. That’s why we like the OVER, but just barely. In the end, we are going to take the Thunder 105-100 in Game 4 of the first round. Enjoy this game and all the NBA Playoff action.
