Thunder vs Pelicans Game 4 prediction, odds, pick, watch NBA Playoffs

Thunder look to sweep Pelicans in NBA odds series with prediction, pick, and how to watch. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander key to Thunder's success.

The Oklahoma City Thunder are set to face off against the New Orleans Pelicans in a highly anticipated matchup. In this continuation of our NBA odds series, we will provide a detailed prediction, pick, and information on how to watch the game.

Throughout this series, the Thunder have demonstrated their offensive prowess by averaging 108.0 points per game. Leading the charge is Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who is putting up an impressive 28.3 points and 5.7 assists per game. Jalen Williams is also contributing with 20.3 points per game, while Chet Holmgren leads the team in rebounding and shot-blocking. The Thunder have been efficient from the field, shooting 50.0 percent overall and 42.3 percent from beyond the arc.

On the other hand, the Pelicans have struggled to find their footing, especially without Zion Williamson. They have been held to under 90 points per game in this series, with C.J. McCollum leading the team with 17.0 points per game and Brandon Ingram close behind at 16.3 points. Jonas Valanciunas has been a key player for the Pelicans, averaging a double-double. However, their shooting percentages of 40.3 percent from the field and 27.8 percent from three-point range have been lackluster.

The Thunder's dominant defense has been the key to their success in this series, holding the Pelicans to under 92 points in each game. With a solid defensive performance, the Thunder are poised to secure a victory and complete the series sweep. Gilgeous-Alexander's scoring prowess will be crucial once again, as the team has a strong record when he scores over 25 points.

While the Thunder appear to have the upper hand, the Pelicans have the potential to cover the spread or even pull off a win. To do so, they will need to elevate their scoring efforts, particularly from McCollum and Ingram. McCollum's ability to score over 20 points has been a key indicator of the Pelicans' success, and a standout performance from him could turn the tide in their favor.

In the end, the Thunder are the favorites in this matchup, and their consistency throughout the series makes them the likely victors. I predict that the Thunder will secure the win, cover the spread, and complete the sweep over the Pelicans. For more insights and predictions on NBA betting, stay tuned for the latest updates.
