New Orleans struggled against Minnesota in their regular-season finale, dropping them into this game where a loss could end their season. The Pelicans are without their star player, as has been the case since he was chosen first overall a few seasons ago. Having said that, New Orleans still has some good offensive players to work with, which is a plus. The Pelicans have home-court advantage, which could be the most important factor in this game. Given the Thunder's struggles on the defensive end of the floor this season, give New Orleans the edge in this game.
