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.

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.

At 59-16 on the season, the Celtics have already clinched the top seed in the East as they are so far ahead of the rest of the pack. The Thunder defeated the Celtics 127-123 in OKC on January 2nd, but the Thunder are once again without SGA and JDub, so it could be a rough night for Oklahoma City.

The Oklahoma City Thunder narrowly escape New York with a win against the Knicks on Sunday after being down by 10 to start the fourth quarter. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander hit a shot with just under two seconds left in the game to put the Thunder on top 113-112, and Jalen Brunson was unable to seal the game at the buzzer, giving OKC the win. The Thunder continue their 5-game road trip tonight in Philadelphia as they take on the 76ers.

Both Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jalen Williams are listed as questionable on today’s injury report with some minor ailments, but based on the spread, I would expect them to play. There was word that Joel Embiid might make his return tonight after missing the last two months with a meniscus injury, but he is still listed as out. That could change, but he would likely be on a minutes restriction even if he did. Lastly, Tyrese Maxey is listed as questionable for the Sixers, so Philly is far from healthy. Because of the way both teams have been playing lately, I’m inclined to say OKC should be able to get a win before heading to Boston tomorrow night, but it could be difficult to cover the spread. Still, I’m going to go ahead and take the Thunder to cover.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is questionable to play as a gametime decision, but the Knicks are also without some key players, particularly Julius Randle. The Knicks play a much slower-paced brand of basketball, but OKC has scorers all throughout the lineup. If the Thunder are able to slow down the scoring and playmaking ability of Jalen Brunson, then they should be able to kickoff the road trip on a high note.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is questionable to play due to the right thigh contusion he’s been dealing with for a little while now, and I’m sure his status will remain undecided until right before tip-off. The Knicks have had a solid season, but they’re dealing with some injuries themselves, and I feel like OKC is a far deeper team. As long as the Thunder can slow down what Jalen Brunson does, then I feel good about OKC squeaking out a road win.
