Oklahoma City Thunder has been on top in the series against New Orleans Pelicans, with Game 3 being a standout performance. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Josh Giddey, and Jalen Williams all scored over 20 points, keeping the Pelicans from scoring over 100 points for the third straight game. The Thunder’s strong shooting made it difficult for New Orleans to keep up.
Thunder coach Mark Daigneault praised his team’s physicality, defense, and focus, which set them up for success. As they look ahead to Game 4 on Monday, April 29 at Paycom Center in Oklahoma City at 8:30 p.m. ET, the Thunder is favored by 4.5 points with an over/under of 206.5.
One key factor that has helped the Thunder succeed is the surprise production from Josh Giddey, particularly his improved 3-point shooting. On the other hand, the Pelicans have struggled to make their threes and have turned over the ball too much, hindering their performance against the Thunder.
In the prediction for Game 4, it is expected that the Thunder will continue their dominance and likely sweep the series. Without Zion Williamson, who has been out due to injury, the Pelicans have lacked offensive firepower and have found it challenging to compete with OKC’s talented players. Therefore, it is predicted that Thunder -4.5 will be a wise choice for those looking to bet on this game’s outcome.
