Oklahoma City Thunder | Game #77 Preview: Indiana Pacers

The Pacers are fresh off an tough loss to the Brooklyn Nets that puts them at 43-34 in the Eastern Conference, just a half a game ahead of the Miami Heat for 6th place. Indiana absolutely does not want to fall into play-in game territory, and with just a few games left for the season, they are going to go all out to maintain their placement.

Thunder Against the Spread | OKC a Road Dog Yet Again in Indiana

Even with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jalen Williams likely to miss, I like the Thunder’s odds to at least cover the spread, if not also win the game. Indiana is about as inconsistent as they come, largely because they rely so much on their offense to win games. They have one of the worst defenses in the NBA, but their offense is the highest-scoring across the league. A few stops could be the difference in this one, but what all of that information aside, OKC has not lost 3 consecutive games all season, and I think they keep that streak alive tonight by getting out with a win.

The Oklahoma City Thunder wasted no time on Sunday night in extending their current win streak as they jumped on the visiting Memphis Grizzlies early and never looked back. Leading from start to finish, the Thunder’s starter sat out the entire fourth quarter as all 15 active players saw the court on the way to the 124-93 victory.

Thunder Against the Spread | Expect a Lot of Points with the Pacers in Town

Oklahoma City and Indiana have two of the top offenses in the NBA. The difference between the two is that OKC also has one of the top defenses. I fully expect this one to be a light show for the majority of the game, but when it counts, the Thunder’s defense will step up and get some stops, giving them enough of an edge to cover the spread.

The Oklahoma City Thunder will likely play their third consecutive game without Shai Gilgeous-Alexander on Friday night as they travel to Indiana to take on the Pacers. SGA sprained his ankle last Sunday in Portland against the Blazers, and he is listed as questionable on the latest injury report.

Thunder Against the Spread | Rolling Thunder Favored At Home Against Pacers

Zachary LowJanuary 18, 2023 No Comments Indiana Pacers Oklahoma Sooners Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Tyrese Haliburton

The Pacers are riding a 3-game losing streak, and Tyrese Haliburton is set to miss his fourth straight contest due to injury. OKC is rolling right now, having won 3 straight on the road, and I think they will come out hot in front of the home crowd. The Pacers are a talented team, even without Haliburton, but I genuinely think the Thunder could win this one by double digits.

The Thunder is currently streaking, winners of their last three, and after a 4-game road trip, they return to OKC on Wednesday night to host the Indiana Pacers. The Pacers are 8th in the Eastern Conference with a 23-22 record, but they are on a 4-game losing streak. Potential All-Star point guard Tyrese Haliburton will miss his fourth straight outing tonight due to sprained left knee and elbow, but Indiana still has plenty of weapons.
