This Thunder vs Pelicans matchup should be a good one, but the absence of Brandon Ingram should tip the scales in the favor of the OKC Thunder. OKC is a good enough road team as it is this season. But if you remove the best pure scorer from the New Orleans lineup, the path to victory for the Pelicans gets a little difficult, even if Zion Williamson is healthy and playing well for them.
