Tough game Kush. OKC are really needing to put together a good performance before they face the Nuggets after this game in OKC. They are 7th right now in the WCF, but can climb the ladder if they want to put some wins together. After Nuggets they play Mavs, Lakers, Pistons and Wolves, all very winnable games. They finish the season off against Rockets and Bucks.
OKC had that game wrapped up the other day in Indy but they were on a B2B after playing at home the night before. Even before that home game before Indy, they went on a crazy road trip so they were just gassed out in the 2H vs Indy.
Difference scenario now, Pacers atrocious lately on the road, OKC needing a win. I would only take OKC in this game unless there was a certain edge/angle I found with the Pacers but I doubt that is likely.

Just ran a quick query..
Very basic but something to ponder on
Road dogs that are coming off a home dog win by 20+ points are 43-60 ATS with an average losing margin of 8.3 points.
Pacers were in a similar situation early this season, when they won at home as a home dog and then travelled to Charlotte. They lost that game 127-109.

Doesn't look like Pacers has anything to play for in this game. OKC still has spot to play for. That being said, +6.5 is still a lot to cover...could be a at the end and Pacers gets the cover.
My lean is Pacers +6.5

Maybe best to just stay away. Ind horrible on the road lately, OKC not much better at home as well. I'll pass. I don't have to wager on this game.

Indiana is not a bad play mk. Reason being that I think OKC would much rather have the 8th spot. Golden State appears to be heading into 1st. OKC has proven they can compete with GS. A matchup with Denver should probably be avoided with travel to mile high. Houston and LAC are too high powered offensively and it would be better to catch them after the first round if possible.

Not to mention Sacramento’s chances of catching up are slim to none. They have Houston twice and spurs and Utah on the road. OKC schedule will get easier with the exception of Houston and Milwaukee. And by that time Milwaukee May have clinched so it could be meaningless plus Giannis health. The game verse Houston is in OKC.

The only thing that makes sense for OKC is to get back in the habit of playing well and OKC no longer matches up that well since GS now has 2 quality big men

And one other thing. Indiana is fighting for home court which they desperately need. Indiana was and is the better play
