(NBA) New Orleans vs. Oklahoma City, 04/24/2024 9:30 PM, Score: 92 - 124
Point Spread: 7.50 | -104.00 New Orleans (Away)
Result: Loss
T.M. Selection: Pelicans.

The Pelicans almost won Game 1 without Zion outright and I believe they have a legit shot to, at the very least, duplicate that performance and make this Game 2 another "nail biter" for the fans. The Thunder looked poor overall in my opinion, as the Pelicans shot horribly. I'd say that OKC's defensive numbers from Game 1 are skewed, and that it was the Pels just having a really poor shooting game, despite Williamson being sidelined. The Thunder have little experience at this level and I think they'll struggle to put New Orleans away in this series. Maybe no outright, but definitely it's going to be closer than what this spread is suggesting.

T.M. Prediction: 106-104 OKC.
