Why The Thunder Could Cover The Spread/Win

The Thunder have won all three games of this series, and they have done it on the defensive end of the floor. The Pelicans have not scored over 92 points in any of the games played this series. As mentioned, the Pelicans are scoring under 90 points per game in the series. If the Thunder continue to play defense as they are, they are going to win this game.

The Thunder have Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, and he is a big reason for their success. He is scoring almost 30 points per game, and the Thunder will need him to do that in this game, as well. When he puts up at least 25 points, the Thunder are 44-14. If he can do it again, the Thunder are going to win this game and sweep the series.

Why The Pelicans Could Cover The Spread/Win

The Pelicans need to do some more scoring in this game. They will not win this game by scoring less than 100 points again. New Orleans needs McCollum and Ingram to really step it up in this game. McCollum is the more important piece in the puzzle. He scored at least 20 points in 34 of his games played this season. When he did that, the Pelicans had a record of 27-7. If McCollum can have a good game, and get hot from the field, the Pelicans are going to avoid being swept.

Final Thunder-Pelicans Prediction & Pick

I am not going to overthink this game. The Thunder are the better team, and they have been all season. Oklahoma City has been much better in this series, as well. I do not see a way in which the Pelicans magically turn it around in this one. For that reason, I am going to take the Thunder to win this game, cover the spread, and complete the first round sweep over the Pelicans.
