As we go to press, Russell Westbrook leads the league in points per game and ranks second in assists per game. Amazingly, he’s still averaging a triple-double for the season. The Thunder will need every bit of his production, as they sit with a record of 16-11 through their first 27 games. When Westbrook hits a triple-double, which he has 13 of so far this season, Oklahoma City’s record improves to 10-3.
Power forward Anthony Davis is second in the league in points per game, while ranking ninth in rebounds and first in blocks. But he can't do it all himself. The Pelicans are 24th in points allowed and point differential. If the Pelicans are going to make it to the postseason – or even back to .500 – they need to find some help for Davis.
The Thunder are 3-2 SU and 2-3 ATS in their last five against the Pelicans, who fell 101-92 in Oklahoma City on December 4 behind a Westbrook triple-double.
NBA Odds: Davis, Westbrook Meet for Second Time this Season

Road games have been a challenge for the Thunder, though. They’ve lost two straight and are just 5-6 in away games this season.
