Thunder vs Pelicans Fantasy NBA: The Oklahoma City Thunder will enter the game after beating the Celtics behind a 24 points outing by Luguentz Dort. On the other hand, the New Orleans Pelicans lost a close game to the Nuggets despite a 27 points night by Brandon Ingram. More information about OKC vs NOP Dream11 will be given here.
Thunder’s season: Oklahoma City is in rebuilding mode so it is not a surprise that they have a losing record. However, they have a centerpiece in Shai(out for the season), who is accompanied by other talented young players in Dort, Bazley, Maledon, and Roby. For Thunder, this season looks to be all about development of their young core and their youth movement has pieced together fighting performances throughout the season.
Pelicans’ season: Pelicans have the most exciting prospect of the future in Zion Williamson, who has lived up to the hype so far and is a nightmare to defend at the Forward spot. Apart from Zion, Ingram has been a capable scorer and has given Pelicans a lot of life on the offensive end. However, the Pelicans are still not ready to be an NBA Playoffs team and they will have to make some moves in the offseason to achieve that feat. They are placed 11th in the NBA Standings for Western Conference.
