Thunder sitting Victor Oladipo (back) out versus Pelicans

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Victor Oladipo (back) will not play versus the New Orleans Pelicans on Sunday.

What It Means:

Oladipo sat out Friday's game as well but looked close to being able to play on Sunday as he tried to give it a go during warmups. Consider him questionable for Tuesday's game versus the Utah Jazz. Doug McDermott will see extra minutes with Alex Abrines likely earning the start.

Abrines had 19 points in 29 minutes on Friday and is projected for 12.9 points and 4.0 three-pointers in 29.7 minutes by our algorithms on Sunday.
