Thunder-Pelicans preview: How New Orleans can slow down Shai

We break down the first-round series between the Oklahoma City Thunder and New Orleans Pelicans and make our prediction.

As the Pelicans gear up to face the Thunder, one key focus will be on how to slow down Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who has been a standout player for Oklahoma City. New Orleans will need to tighten up their defense and find ways to limit his impact on the game in order to secure a victory in the series.

With the playoffs heating up, the Pelicans will need to bring their A-game if they want to advance to the next round. It will be a tough battle against a talented Thunder team, but New Orleans has the skills and determination to come out on top.
