Who won New Orleans Pelicans vs Oklahoma City Thunder?

Oklahoma City Thunder beat New Orleans Pelicans 137-106 at Paycom Center on November 2, 2025.

The Oklahoma City Thunder continued their impressive start to the season with a commanding 137-106 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans at Paycom Center. This win extends the Thunder's unbeaten home record to 8-0 and marks their tenth consecutive victory overall, showcasing their dominance in the early part of the NBA season. The Thunder have been on a remarkable run, averaging 123.9 points per game while allowing just 110.5, a stark contrast to the Pelicans, who have struggled significantly, losing their last ten games and averaging only 107.6 points while conceding 125.2.

The Thunder's recent form has been exceptional, with their last five games yielding an average score of 118.6 for and 107.6 against. They have consistently outperformed opponents, including their latest matchup against the Washington Wizards, where they won 127-108. In contrast, the Pelicans have faced a tough stretch, with their last victory coming well before this matchup. Their most recent game ended in a narrow loss to the LA Clippers, 124-126, but they have not found a way to secure a win in their last ten outings.

At home, the Thunder have been nearly unbeatable, holding a perfect 4-0 record. They have shown resilience and skill, particularly in their recent games, where they have outscored opponents decisively. The Pelicans, on the other hand, have struggled both at home and away, failing to win any of their last ten games, with a home record of 0-5 and an away record of 0-5.

Historically, the Thunder have had the upper hand in their recent meetings with the Pelicans, leading the series 4-0 this season. Their previous encounter on April 13, 2025, ended with the Thunder winning 115-100, and they also secured victories in earlier matchups this season, including a significant 137-101 win on February 11.

In terms of injuries, the Thunder had several players listed as day-to-day, including Isaiah Hartenstein (ankle), Ajay Mitchell (calf), Otega Oweh (lower leg), Thomas Sorber (knee), and Jalen Williams (hamstring). The Pelicans also had two players with day-to-day statuses: Micah Peavy (rest) and Bryce McGowens (toe). The absence or limited availability of these players could impact team performance, but the Thunder's depth has allowed them to maintain their winning streak despite these challenges.

The betting market reflected the Thunder's strong position, giving them a home win probability of 1.0, indicating a clear expectation of victory. This confidence in the Thunder's ability to perform at home has been validated by their recent performances.

The game conditions at Paycom Center were favorable for the Thunder, who thrived in front of their home crowd. Fans witnessed a display of offensive prowess, highlighted by Chris Youngblood's three-point jumper in the fourth quarter, which helped solidify the Thunder's lead. The Pelicans attempted to respond with plays from Micah Peavy and Bryce McGowens, but they were unable to close the gap, ultimately succumbing to the Thunder's relentless attack.

As the season progresses, the Thunder's ability to maintain their winning form will be crucial, especially as they navigate potential injuries. Meanwhile, the Pelicans will need to regroup and find a way to break their losing streak if they hope to turn their season around. The Thunder's current trajectory positions them as a formidable force in the league, while the Pelicans face a challenging road ahead.
