The NBA playoff series between the Oklahoma City Thunder and New Orleans Pelicans is set for Game 1 on Sunday, April 21. The game will be live streamed on Sling (half off first month) and DirecTV Stream (free trial).

The Thunder, the youngest team in NBA history to secure a No. 1 seed, will open a Western Conference playoff series at home against the New Orleans Pelicans on Sunday.

While Thunder coach Daigneault touts his team’s maturity, Thunder players are well aware that their youth has outsiders wondering if Oklahoma City is vulnerable. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Lu Dort are both 25, Jalen Williams just turned 23 and Chet Holmgren and Josh Giddey are 21.

That group helped the Thunder finish with a 57-25 record in the regular season.

New Orleans isn’t buying any talk of weakness. After all, the Thunder beat the Pelicans in the Play-In Tournament last year and won two of the three regular-season matchups this season.

While the Thunder are growing tired of hearing about their youth, the Pelicans are again hearing questions about how they’ll play without Zion Williamson.

After straining his left hamstring as he reached the 40-point mark in a loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday night, Williamson underwent imaging and further examination on Wednesday, after which he was essentially shelved for two weeks.
