(519) New Orleans Pelicans at (520) Oklahoma City Thunder
(5%) OKC. The Pelicans had their shot in Game 1. The games was theirs for the taking. They failed to capitalize though and I don't expect them to get another chance in Game 2. A young team, the Thunder seemed to have some playoff jitters. That's behind them now as they've had their “wake-up call.” I like that they've had a couple of days off in between games to work on making things right. Note that OKC is 26-12-1 ATS its past 29, when playing with two days rest in between games. During that same stretch, they're also 42-22 ATS after allowing 105 or fewer points. New Orleans, for its part, is 15-24-1 ATS after scoring 100 or less. I've got the Thunder taking Game 2 by double-digits. *good at 5% up to -9
