The New Orleans Pelicans (11-8) will host the Oklahoma City Thunder (8-12) on Monday in a Western Conference matchup. Last season the Thunder won two of three head-to-head meetings straight up but covered the spread in all three.
Oklahoma City is 11-9 against the spread this season, and the over/under is 14-6 in their games. There's a long way to go; the Thunder are 12th in the Western Conference, two games behind the Timberwolves for the 10th spot.
Oklahoma City has lost four of its last five games. After beating the Bulls 123-119 in overtime on Friday, they lost the next day to the Rockets 118-105. The Thunder got off to a terrible start in the loss in Houston, as they fell behind 21 points at half-time and were not as close as the final score indicated.
