The Oklahoma City Thunder will start Jaylin Williams alongside Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Cason Wallace, Aaron Wiggins, and Isaiah Hartenstein against the New Orleans Pelicans on Sunday. Williams steps in for Luguentz Dort, out with an illness, while Chet Holmgren remains sidelined with a back injury. This adjustment aims to provide more height in the lineup to counter the Pelicans’ powerful frontcourt featuring Zion Williamson and Yves Missi.
