Pacers vs Thunder

Tyrese Haliburton will lead the Pacers into Oklahoma City eager to snap their current two-game slide, but they may struggle without key center Myles Turner, who remains sidelined with an ankle concern. Meanwhile, the Thunder ride a five-game win streak spearheaded by a healthy Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, and they’ve consistently dominated Eastern Conference foes on their home floor over the past few seasons. Factoring in both teams’ record momentum, ongoing injury situations, and historical edge in interconference matchups, look for the Thunder to uphold their winning form. Odds and availability are subject to change.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the Thunder, riding a five-game winning streak, look poised to maintain their blistering offensive pace against a Pacers squad that has dropped two in a row and may be missing Tyrese Haliburton (questionable). Even with Indiana’s recent struggles, their track record of putting up big point totals against Western Conference teams underscores the lofty 239.5 line set for this matchup. Expect both squads to push the pace, chasing a potentially sizable payout if the final score races past the total, making this pick a solid B+ for probability and monetary gain. Odds and availability are subject to change.

Indiana heads into Oklahoma City riding a brief two-game slump, but Tyrese Haliburton remains active and ready to spark a team that tends to show resilience when facing Western Conference powerhouses. Meanwhile, the Thunder enter on a formidable five-game winning streak, though Luguentz Dort is listed as day-to-day and could weaken OKC’s defensive rotations. Historically, the Pacers have found ways to keep these encounters tight even on the road, especially when Myles Turner’s rim protection is a factor. Expect Indiana to defy the double-digit line and control just enough momentum to stay within striking distance. Seeking an underdog’s edge? Stick with the Pacers plus the points.
