The Thunder have been in control of the series so far, especially in Game 3. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Josh Giddey, and Jalen Williams all scored over 20 points, keeping the Pelicans under 100 points for the third straight game. Their exceptional shooting made it difficult for New Orleans to keep up. Thunder coach Mark Daigneault praised his team’s physicality, defense, and focus, setting the stage for their success.
Looking ahead to Game 4 on Monday, April 29 at 8:30 p.m. ET at Paycom Center in Oklahoma City, the Thunder is favored by 4.5 points with an over/under of 206.5. OKC’s surprise performance from Josh Giddey has been a key factor in their success. For the Pelicans, they have struggled to make 3-pointers and have turned the ball over too often, which has hindered their performance against the Thunder.
In our prediction for Game 4, we expect the Thunder to continue their dominance and potentially sweep the series. Without Zion Williamson on board, the Pelicans have lacked offensive firepower, making it difficult for them to compete with OKC’s impressive play. Therefore, our pick is Thunder -4.5 for Game 4.
