The Thunder have been the dominant force in this series, especially in Game 3 where Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Josh Giddey, and Jalen Williams all scored over 20 points. Their strong shooting made it challenging for New Orleans to stay in the game. Thunder coach Mark Daigneault praised his team’s physicality, defense, and focus, setting the tone for their success.
Looking ahead to Game 4, the Thunder will face the Pelicans on Monday, April 29, at 8:30 p.m. ET at Paycom Center in Oklahoma City. OKC is favored by 4.5 points with an over/under of 206.5. The surprise production from Josh Giddey has been key to their success, particularly his improved 3-point shooting. For the Pelicans, struggling to make 3-pointers coupled with turnovers have hindered their performance against the Thunder.
In the prediction for Game 4, it is expected that the Thunder will continue their dominance and likely sweep the series as without Zion Williamson, the Pelicans have lacked offensive firepower making it hard for them to compete with OKC’s physicality and defense. Therefore, pick is Thunder -4.5
