Thunder vs Pacers prediction

The Pacers are getting the benefit of the doubt because they’re at home and OKC is without Williams and Gilgeous-Alexander. However, the Thunder have won games all year, and they’re still a profitable team with a cover percentage of 55.2 percent. Also, we just saw the Pacers lose to the Nets as massive favorites, and they lost to the Bulls as favorites last week by 26 points. Even with the injuries, it wouldn’t be shocking to see the Thunder beat a Pacers team that’s run hot and cold all season. Give me the road dog.
