New Orleans Pelicans vs. Oklahoma City Thunder Prediction
Williams is coming off a two-steal game in Game 1, but I don't expect him to replicate that performance here in Game 2. He had two of the Thunder's five steals which is a bit lucky as we'd expect him to go under 1.5 steals in most games that the team only has five steals.
The Pelicans allowed the third-fewest steals on the season at around 6.6 per game, and JDub had not recorded a steal vs. them in the three regular season games prior to Game 1. He is also under 1.5 steals in 32% of all games this season (28% at home). I like him to go under, and think he finishes with zero or one steals.
