The Oklahoma City Thunder wrap up a three-game road trip when they face the New Orleans Pelicans on Tuesday. It’ll be the first night of a back-to-back for OKC.
The Thunder (49-21) enter the contest with a clean bill of health. Ousmane Dieng, Keyontae Johnson and Adam Flagler (G League) are out.
Meanwhile, the Pelicans (44-27) continue to be without their second-best player. Brandon Ingram (knee contusion) is out. He’ll be reevaluated in a little more than a week.
Dyson Daniels (knee meniscectomy) also is out due to injury. E.J. Liddell, Malcolm Hill and Dereon Seabron are in the G League.
Both teams look to improve their position in the standings as the regular season winds down.
In their last contest, the Thunder suffered one of their worst losses of the season, a 25-point blowout to the Milwaukee Bucks on Sunday. OKC was limited to 93 points on 37% shooting.
Meanwhile, the Ingram-less Pelicans cruised to an easy win over the Detroit Pistons on Sunday.
This will be the final matchup between the Thunder and Pelicans this season. The teams split the first two meetings. Last time, OKC collected a lopsided win over New Orleans on Jan. 26.
Tipoff from New Orleans is set for 7 p.m. CT.
