Thunder vs. Pelicans Odds & Betting Predictions - March 27, 2024

He’s over this line in 10/16 since the ASB, averaging 27 P+R. Torched NOP in both matchups: 19/11 and 20/13. He’ll have a better matchup than SGA or Jalen - and this could be a spot where we see OKC push their starter’s minutes a bit. Regardless - even in his standard 32 mins, I have Holmgren closer to 27 P+R.

Gave this out on @TheGamblerWithAK J-Dub is averaging 18.8 PPG over his last 10 games, with a 31-point performance vs. POR to inflate his average. He’ll now travel to New Orleans in a playoff-like intensity atmosphere, a team he is only averaging 16.5 PPG in the two games versus. Over the last 10, they permit the 4th fewest PPG and PITP (55% of FGM L10) and own the 2nd best overall defensive rating. Additionally, the Pelicans shut down the PnR Ball Handling playtpe at the 3rd lowest scoring frequency - accounting for 29% of his Jalen’s total PPG (his dominant playtype). He averaged 16.0 PPG going under 19 points in 11 of 15 games (73% rate) where he meets up against a top-15 PnR BH defense that’s also top-15 defensively overall. Matchup wise- Herb Jones can take turn defensively on him along with Naji Marshall off the bench. Overall, a down paced matchup and poor overall matchup. #PlayerProps
