The former Duke star is currently averaging 20.8 points, 5.1 rebounds and 4.7 assists per contest in 15 games.
He's also been shooting the ball well (47.2% from the field and 46.7% from the three-point range).
The Pelicans are 11-8 in their first 19 games, which has them as the fourth seed in the Western Conference.
At home, they have a 6-3 record in the nine games they have hosted in Louisiana.
They are 6-4 in their last ten games overall and have one of the best rosters in the west.
The key for the Pelicans will be health.

As for the Thunder, they are 8-12 in their first 20 games, which has them as the 12th seed in the west.
On the road, they have struggled (3-7 in ten games away from Oklahoma).
While their record isn't good, they have been competitive and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has played like an All-Star, averaging 31.1 points per contest.
