In the midst of a 5-game winning streak, the Pacers host the Thunder with a 23-5 record and 1st in the Western Conference in one of the most anticipated games on Thursday. The betting sites are inclined to set the Thunder as favorites by 5.5 points despite the fact that the Pacers have never had a streak this season as positive as the one they have of 5 games winning, where they also beat the Warriors 111-105 at the Chase Center thanks to a good game and a clutch triple at the end by Myles Turner.

But it seems undeniable that the present of the Thunder, who will seek their ninth consecutive victory, seems even better. The last one was a 123-105 victory over the Wizards where Gligeous-Alexander had a spectacular night of 41 points. In a game that was almost entirely even, the Thunder took control with a 19-3 run in the fourth quarter. Once again, the Thunder's electric team stole balls and turned 19 Washington turnovers into 24 points.

As for not playing in the Christmas card, Gilgeous-Alexander said he was disappointed and that his team has the caliber for that. He is surely supported by the bettors who have the Thunder as 2nd favorites behind the Celtics on the betting sites to win the NBA in 2025 with odds of +360.

Our Indiana Pacers vs Oklahoma City Thunder Prediction

Finally, the best version of the Pacers appeared at the end of December, in the win against the Warriors all 5 starters reached double digits in scoring while one has been a more coordinated defense, which within the 5-game streak only allowed an average of 104.4 points, the decisive factor in winning games. Even an electric and dominant team in not losing the ball and also stealing it well, the Thunder will have to fight hard at Gainbridge Fieldhouse to prevail over the hot Pacers who have beaten them in 8 of the last 10 games against each other, in a game that will probably have many lead changes. Our prediction for Pacers vs Thunder is: Pacers +5.5.

Prediction:

 

Pacers +5.5
