Our Oklahoma City Thunder vs Indiana Pacers Prediction
OKC should absolutely win this game. Indiana could, of course, pull off an upset, but the likelihood of it makes putting money down on them to win a bad idea. But can we count on the Thunder to cover at -16.5, especially considering the long list of injuries they are dealing with? No, they’ve gone 1-5 ATS in their last six games as double-digit favorites. Indiana has gone 6-3 ATS when double-digit underdogs.
Our Indiana vs. OKC Pick: Pacers +16.5
