The New Orleans Pelicans (8-8) will look to put a stop to their two-game losing streak by getting a win Monday evening over the Oklahoma City Thunder (7-8), a team they’ve only beaten once out of seven tries during the Alvin Gentry era.
The Thunder are led by Russell Westbrook, but following a season where he broke the NBA single-season triple-double record, the current MVP no longer has to try and do everything himself. Over the offseason, Sam Presti brought both Paul George and Carmelo Anthony to the Sooner State.
