Two of the most talented young players in the NBA will square off when the Pelicans take a trip to Oklahoma City to face the Thunder on Wednesday night.
Zion Williamson has looked more like his old self through the first three games of the 2023-24 season, averaging 22.0 points, 5.7 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game while shooting 57.1 percent from the field. As always, the key question is whether he can stay healthy and consistently contribute for New Orleans.
On the other side of the floor, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander will attempt to build on what has been a hot start. The All-NBA guard is posting 26.0 points, 7.3 rebounds, 6.3 assists and 2.5 steals per game for an OKC squad that is 3-1.
