(NBA) Oklahoma City vs. Indiana, 04/05/2024 7:00 PM, Score: 112 - 126
Point Spread: -5.50 | -106.00 Indiana (Home)
Result: Win
The Oklahoma City Thunder head to Indy to take on the Indiana Pacers. OKC is finishing off a five-game road trip and is in a tight battle for the top spot in the division with Minnesota and Denver. They have lost two in a row and need to turn things around and have covered just once in their last five games. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has missed the last three games and is questionable for the Pacers. Jalen Williams is also questionable. Oklahoma City is only 2-3 in their last five road contests. OKC is putting up 119.9 points per game and are giving up 113.3 points. The Pacers are seventh in the east, 2.5 games out of fourth place. They have covered the spread in three of their last five games. Myles Turner did not play on Wednesday and is questionable for tonight. The Pacers are 3-2 in their last five home games. Indiana is putting up 122.7 points a game and are giving up 120.3 points a game but has been playing better on the defensive end lately. The Thunder are finishing off a five-game road trip and probably can’t wait to get back home. Without SAG and Williams, the Thunder are a different team on both ends of the court. Over the last five games, the Pacers defense has been better than their season average and the Thunder are a lot worse. I will take the home team against a mentally and possibly physically tired team.

Play on Indiana. This is a 2% play.
