NBA New Orleans Pelicans vs Oklahoma City Thunder same game parlay picks: Pelicans spoil SGA’s big night at +636 odds

I just landed my 3rd Parlay winner since the NBA season started! At +415 odds my Same Game Parlay cashed on the Spurs vs Suns Game, so why not go for another winner tonight? I’m focusing on the 1st part of the ESPN double-header as the NO Pelicans take on the OKC Thunder. Tip-off is at 7.30 ET, continue reading to see my bet below.

It’s a 13-game night in the NBA on Wednesday, for picks on the side and total visit our NBA Predictions page.

Let’s dive into my bet now!

New Orleans Pelicans Money Line (+136)

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander to Score 35+ Points (+175)

Same Game Parlay odds: +636

New Orleans Pelicans Money Line (+136)

It promises to be an exciting encounter between two evenly matched teams. I would give a slight edge to the Pelicans here, as they are equipped with more offensive talent in my opinion. They also won 3 of the 4 regular season meetings last year, including both played in Oklahoma City which is encouraging. The Thunder are yet to figure out Zion Williamson who has played really well against them in the last 5 meetings averaging 24.6 points per Game on almost 60% shooting. Chet Holmgren’s thin frame is no match for the strength and size of Zion, so look for him to dominate on the inside. Following the 28-point home loss to the Warriors, the Pelicans will want to make amends here. They’ve won 5 of the last 6 meetings at the Paycom Center and after seeing OKC get trounced by the Nuggets in their home opener on Sunday I am just not feeling them right now.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander to Score 35+ Points (+175)

SGA scored just 7 points in that defeat to Denver, but he did bounce back with 32 the following game against the Detroit Pistons. It was already his 3rd game of 30+ points in 4 outings this season, which shouldn’t come as a surprise considering he is just 1 of only 11 players in the NBA currently averaging 20 or more field goal attempts per game. Everything goes through Shai on offense for the Thunder, especially in games against the Pelicans where he’s averaging 33.2 points a night in the last 5 meetings. Of those 33.2 points, 10.4 per game are coming from the charity stripe where he’s shooting 91.2%. I think it’s time for a new season high for SGA here, too bad for Thunder fans it will come in a loss.

The Chicago Bulls will make the trip to Chase Center as they take on the Golden State Warriors, and I have you covered with my best bet utilizing the latest NBA odds. Neither team will be able to use the excuse of tired legs tonight because the Warriors and Bulls are both coming off wins last night. With Golden State making a push to get out of the Play-In Tournament, find out what I'm backing in my free NBA picks for the Bulls vs. Warriors on Thursday, March 7. Bulls vs Warriors odds Bulls vs Warriors predictions The Golden State Warriors and Chicago Bulls will both be on the back end of a back-to-back, but the injury reports for both teams look pretty clearly defined. The Warriors look ready to roll across the board, and I know the Bulls were hopeful to get Dalen Terry back yesterday.  When these two met on back on January 12, something really popped on film. Golden State — while small — has wing players such as Jonathan Kuminga and Andrew Wiggins...
