The Thunder are the number one seed but are not getting the respect that top seeds normally get. The Pelicans will be without their best player in this game and possibly the series. Zion  Williamson could be able to go on May 1st. But unfortunately for New Orleans, the series could be over by then.  The Thunder likes to play fast and score on the break. Without Zion controlling the glass the Pelicans will struggle to slow down the Thunder break. Ingram did not play well in the first play-in game but played better in the second. He needs more consistency if they want to have a chance. The Thunder went 33-8 at home this season and they rack up another win in Game 1.



Play on OKC, this is a 3% play.
