It’s worth noting that nothing is ever a sure thing in the world of sports betting, and anything could happen on game day, so bet with caution.

The Thunder have gone over in four of their last ten games, while staying under in six of their most recent games. On the Pelicans’ side of things, there’s been no significant trend as of late, with the total going over in only three of their last ten games and staying under in seven.
