KEY GAME INFORMATION
OKLAHOMA CITY: LAST SEASON: 48-34, lost in first round.
COACH: Billy Donovan (fourth season).
PROJECTED STARTING FIVE: G Russell Westbrook (25.4 ppg, 10.3 apg, 10.1 rpg), G Dennis Schroder (19.4 ppg, 6.2 apg, Atlanta), F Paul George (21.9 ppg), F Patrick Patterson (3.9 ppg), C Steven Adams (13.9 ppg, 9.0 rpg).
KEY LOSSES: F Carmelo Anthony, C Nick Collison
KEY ADDITIONS: Schroder, C Nerlens Noel, G/F Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot
PLAYERS TO WATCH: Schroder. He was a dynamic scorer in Atlanta with a less talented team around him. He'll begin the season as a starter as Andre Roberson recovers from a knee injury and he'll get a chance to seize the job, especially if he can improve defensively. He has been outstanding as a scorer and as a facilitator in the preseason. He could have a big season with Westbrook and George drawing most of the attention. His addition means the Thunder will have five capable scorers in the starting lineup, a rarity for the franchise in recent years.
OUTLOOK: The Thunder shocked many when they were able to keep George this summer, and they also kept versatile, athletic forward Jerami Grant. By making the deal to move Anthony and add Schroder, the Thunder became younger, more athletic and more dynamic. If they can find some outside shooting this season to take advantage of their multiple shot creators, they could make a deep run in the West.
NEW ORLEANS: LAST SEASON: 48-34, lost in Western Conference semifinals.
COACH: Alvin Gentry (fourth season, 16th NBA season).
PROJECTED STARTING FIVE: G Elfrid Payton (12.7 ppg, Orlando/Phoenix), G Jrue Holiday (19 ppg), F E'Twaun Moore (12.5 ppg), F Anthony Davis, (28.1 ppg), C Julius Randle (16.1 ppg, Lakers).
KEY LOSSES: C-F DeMarcus Cousins, G Rajon Rondo
KEY ADDITIONS: Randle, Payton
PLAYERS TO WATCH: Davis and Holiday played the best basketball of their careers last season and provide the Pelicans hope of returning to the playoffs. Davis has continued working on building his physique and strength with the expectation that he might have to play more at center now the Cousins is out of the picture. Davis also says his goal is to prove he is the most dominant player in the NBA. Holiday thrived last season when he was able to play more at shooting guard, allowing him to focus more on scoring and crunch-time defending than setting up the offense. The acquisition of Payton should allow Holiday to resume that role.
OUTLOOK: While it's hard to replace Cousins and Rondo, general manager Dell Demps is hoping Randle and Payton wind up being better fits because of their relative youth, defensive play and ability to thrive in an up-tempo offense. Gentry has said he wants the Pelicans to play even faster than their NBA-leading pace last season. It just might work. New Orleans' top three front court players 'Davis, Randle and Nikola Mirotic' all have shown they can be effective playing that way.
PREVIEW
Thunder look to remain hot on road at Pelicans
 

The Oklahoma City Thunder are one of the hottest teams in the NBA.

They have won five of their last six games, are 17-4 since starting the season 0-4 and have established the best record in the Western Conference (17-8).

The only thing consistent about the New Orleans Pelicans in the last two weeks has been their inconsistency.

They have alternated wins and losses during their last eight games.

If the Pelicans' pattern continues, they'll win when they host the Thunder on Wednesday night.

But that will be a challenge, given the way Oklahoma City has been playing. The Thunder led by as many as 29 points during their 122-113 home victory against Utah on Monday.

"I'm enjoying playing with this group," Thunder forward Paul George told NewsOK.com. "We've got a special group here. We want to win. We want to win big. That's first and foremost."

George scored 31 points, making 5 of 6 3-pointers, against the Jazz as the home crowd provided chants of "MVP" in the background.

"I think you'd be hard pressed right now to find guys that are playing at a higher level than (George) is," Thunder coach Billy Donovan told NewsOK.com.

Dennis Schroder scored 23 points and Steven Adams added 22. Russell Westbrook finished with a triple-double -- 12 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists -- even though he made just 4 of 18 shots.

The Thunder are 14-1 this season against teams with sub-.500 records, which includes a 122-116 home victory against the Pelicans, who were 4-5 entering the Nov. 5 game and left with the last loss of a six-game losing streak.

New Orleans is again sub-.500 (14-15) after alternating wins and losses for the last two weeks.

The Pelicans had a four-game losing streak after losing at home to Boston on Nov. 26.

They ended that losing streak by beating Washington, then they lost at Miami, won at Charlotte, lost to the Clippers, beat Dallas, lost to Memphis, won at Detroit and lost to the Celtics again, 113-100, on Monday night in Boston.

The Celtics led by as many as 22 points on Monday despite playing without five injured or ill players, including Al Horford, Kyrie Irving and Gordon Hayward.

"We just didn't do a really good job of handling dribble penetration," Pelicans coach Alvin Gentry told his team's official website. "They took the ball wherever they wanted to take it. We just couldn't keep them in front."

Anthony Davis matched his second-highest point total of the season by scoring 41 points after having just six in the victory at Detroit a day earlier.

"Win one, lose one, win one, lose one for the past eight, nine games so we've got to put a string of wins together," Davis told the team's official website.

The game against Oklahoma City will be New Orleans' eighth game in 15 days. The Pelicans have not had more than one day between games since Nov. 8-9.

After this game they stay home and have three days off before hosting Miami on Sunday.

"We've got to regroup," Davis told the website. "We've got another one on Wednesday against a team that's hot right now, OKC. But we play well at home so hopefully can get that one, then we have like three or four days off where we can regroup and recollect ourselves and try to put a string of wins together."

The Pelicans are 10-4 at home and the Thunder are 7-5 on the road.
