Playing light on Underdog. This started at 30.5, moved down to 29.5 and now back at 30.5. Thunder top ranked defense who limit 2nd fewest points and 4th fewest assists. Thunder give up a ton of rebounds though which is why I’m not going too heavy, but this is a bet on the elite OKC defense.

I.Hartenstein o26.5 Pts+Rebs+Ast-113
0.88u
Hartenstein has lacked in the scoring department the last two games but one was a tougher matchup on the interior against Walker Kessler and the last was a blowout where everyone else scored. Here, he has an excellent matchup against rookie Yves Missi of the Pelicans. The rest of the team has tougher matchups now that the Pelicans are healthy and can send out Herb Jones, Trey Murphy, and Dejounte Murray on the perimeter. Hartenstein has exceeded this line in 5/7 with his new team and is averaging 11.7 points, 12.9 rebounds, and 4.4 assists. I don’t mind a pivot to double double if this bumps but his ability to go off in any of the stats is why I like the combo in this instance.

Read full writeup on X: https://x.com/PicksOffice Pelicans struggle offensively, ranking last in points, due to inefficiency and rhythm issues. Ingram and McCollum's return hasn't fully resolved scoring problems. Thunder's methodical pace, strong rebounding, and elite defense stifle opponents, aligning with Pelicans' weaknesses. A prior low-scoring matchup and both teams' styles hint at another low-output game.
NOP +8-110
1u
Read full writeup on X: https://x.com/PicksOffice Thunder boast a strong record against weaker teams, averaging 115.5 PPG, but New Orleans, revitalized by key players like Ingram and Jones, counters with renewed energy and depth. Pelicans’ 45-point quarter vs. Phoenix highlights offensive potential. Rebounding and defensive matchups, alongside improved shooting, position New Orleans as a tougher challenge for OKC’s 103.5 PPG defense.
