NOP VS OKC Preview:

 

New Orleans Pelicans

On Thursday, the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans will be the battleground for a Play-In Tournament matchup between the New Orleans Pelicans and the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Pelicans, who finished ninth in the Western Conference with a record of 42-40, had a challenging season due to injuries, particularly to their star player Zion Williamson, who has been out of action since January 2 with a hamstring injury. Brandon Ingram also missed some games but showed his prowess when healthy, averaging 24.7 points, 5.8 assists, and 5.5 rebounds per game in 45 appearances. With a solid home record of 27-14 during the regular season, the Pelicans will rely on Ingram, as well as veterans C.J. McCollum and Jonas Valanciunas, to lead the charge. However, the Pelicans will be without Williamson, as well as EJ Liddell (knee) and Jose Alvarado (leg) for this matchup.

Oklahoma City Thunder

On the other hand, the Thunder, with a surprising 10th place finish in the Western Conference with a record of 40-42, exceeded expectations despite the season-ending injury to Chet Holmgren. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had a standout season, averaging 31.4 points, 5.5 assists, and 4.8 rebounds per game, establishing himself as a budding superstar. Rookie Jalen Williams also made significant contributions with an average of 14.1 points per game, while Josh Giddey led the team in rebounds (7.9) and assists (6.2) per game. The Thunder come into this matchup on a two-game winning streak, showcasing their resilience and determination. However, Aleksej Pokusevski (knee) is a game-time decision, while Chet Holmgren (foot) and Kenrich Williams (wrist) are ruled out for the rest of the season. The Thunder’s unexpected success this season has put them ahead of schedule in their rebuilding process.
