Winners and Whiners: Bet the Thunder to cover vs. Pelicans
Chris King writes: "One has to wonder how much different this series would have been had Williamson not gotten injured in the play-in game against the Lakers. Without him, the Pelicans have sputtered mightily on the offensive end of the floor, failing to put up more than 92 points in any of their three games. Their O rating is a measly 96.7 and their effective field goal percentage of 45.7% fails to instill much in the way of confidence. New Orleans doesn’t have the pieces to match up on the defensive end either as Valanciunas logged only 12 minutes in Game 3 while Ingram has struggled to try and contain Holmgren. Oklahoma City has too many weapons and they have a ton of momentum on their side. Look for the Thunder to close things out, leaving the Pelicans to wonder what might have been."
