Indiana Pacers vs Oklahoma City Thunder Prediction

The Thunder haven’t lost two straight games in two months and they’ve only done it that one time since November 20. The Thunder are also 62-34-4 ATS on the season. There’s plenty of reason to not panic with OKC. With that said, this line is wild. The Pacers didn’t even play great in game 1 and managed to win. The Pacers had 19 turnovers in the first half and got subpar shooting games from Haliburton, Nembhard and Nesmith. For whatever reason oddsmakers haven’t believed in the Pacers from the start and here they are three wins away from a title. The odds also keep increasing for some reason?

The Pacers have been a double-digit underdog three times since December 29, and while they’ve covered all three of those games, they’ve also outright won those games. The Thunder should win a must-win game, but would it really shock you if the Pacers continue to do what they’ve done all playoffs? Give me the points.
