New Orleans Pelicans vs. Oklahoma City Thunder Prediction
I know this is juicy but I love this prop. McCollum has hit this prop in all three games this year and this feels like it’s off by an assist. McCollum looks as comfortable as ever running the floor as a point guard after years of being considered more of a two guard.
Brandon Ingram is questionable for tonight but I like this regardless of his status. Last game without Ingram he had 6 assists with 13 potential assists but also in his last game with him he had 7 assists. Only needing 5 feels like such a steal, especially against a fast paced Thunder team.
Oklahoma City have allowed Killian Hayes and Jamal Murray to smash this prop and when they played the Cavs we saw Mitchell get 5 assists which is higher than normal for him. I don’t see McCollum being the first guy to fail hitting 5 against them.
This game projects to be close so hopefully no blowout nonsense. I think this bet has the upside to hit regardless of that but lets just hope that CJ gets his normal minutes. This number should have been 5.5 all day, I’ll gladly drink the juice. Let's roll!
