The Oklahoma City Thunder (67-14) have had the No. 1 seed in the West locked up for weeks but remain locked in — 8-2 in their last 10 and on a 3-game heater heading into the regular season finale.
Meanwhile, the New Orleans Pelicans (21-60) are limping to the finish line, losers of six straight and sitting among the league’s bottom dwellers. They’ve been a nightmare both statistically and visually, especially at home.

📊 Thunder vs. Pelicans Betting Trends
🔹 Against the Spread (ATS)
- Thunder ATS: 52-26-3 (NBA-best 66.7%)
- Pelicans ATS: 33-45-3
- Thunder -13+ spread: 11-7-3 ATS in 21 games
- Pelicans +13+ dog: 3-7-2 ATS in 12 games
✅ ClutchBuzz Play: Thunder -13 (-110)
The best bet in basketball all year? Thunder ATS. With a league-best cover rate and the Pelicans nosediving, OKC should cap off their dream regular season with a double-digit win.
🔹 Over/Under Trends
- O/U 234.5 Total:
- Thunder games Over in 32 of 81
- Pelicans games Over in 31 of 81
- Combined scoring avg: 230.6 PPG
- Combined allowed: 227 PPG
❄️ ClutchBuzz Lean: Under 234.5 (-110)
With the Pelicans slumping offensively (26th in eFG%) and playing at home where they shoot worse, this has all the makings of a lower-scoring blowout.
🎯 Prop Bets to Watch
🏀 Chet Holmgren – Over 8.5 Rebounds
- Pelicans rank 24th in rebound rate (49.0%)
- Chet averages 8.0 RPG and may feast on second-chance boards
💡 ClutchBuzz Play: Chet Holmgren Over 8.5 Rebounds (+100)
🏹 Thunder Team Total Over 123.5
- Pelicans have allowed 118+ in 5 of last 6
- Thunder avg 118.5 PPG on the road
🔥 Bonus Play: Thunder Team Total Over 123.5 (-105)

🧠 Final Take & Prediction
This is a mismatch on every level — and it’s not close. Even if Shai, J-Dub, or Chet rest or see limited minutes, OKC’s bench is good enough to keep the pedal down. The Thunder want to stay sharp heading into the postseason, and the Pelicans have zero incentive to compete here.
🏁 Final Score Prediction: Thunder 121, Pelicans 103

📣 ClutchBuzz Thunder vs. Pelicans Prediction:
One last ride with the NBA’s cover kings before the playoffs begin. Thunder are the bet, Holmgren is the prop edge, and the under quietly offers value thanks to a fading Pelicans offense.
