Thunder at Pacers picks and predictionsPrediction

Thunder 119, Pacers 106

Neither team has lost consecutive games in the postseason, but the Thunder have really dominated both games in this series. It is only tied 1-1 because of Haliburton’s big shot at the end of Game 1.

The Thunder have lost 2 of 3 games in a stretch just once this postseason. They had a 4-game win streak, one 3-game streak and two 2-game streaks. They swept the regular-season series 2-0, including a 120-114 win in Indiana Dec. 26.

The Pacers are 6-2 at home in the postseason, but they are lucky to not be down 2-0.

The Thunder are likely to win, but laying -220 doesn’t offer much value on the favorite.

PASS.

Five of the Thunder’s last 6 wins have come by double digits. They’re 3-0 ATS in their 3 victories over the Pacers this season — including the regular season — winning each by at least 6 points. Ten of Oklahoma City’s 13 postseason wins have been by more than 5 points.

All 5 of the Pacers’ postseason losses have come by at least 6 points, and they’ve failed to cover the spread in each of those defeats.

BET THUNDER -5.5 (-115).

All 3 Thunder wins over the Pacers had totals of at least 230 this season. But in their 13 postseason wins, they have allowed an average of 100.8 points per game, allowing more than 106 only twice.

Three of the Pacers’ 5 postseason losses have not even reached 220 total points.

BET UNDER 227.5 (-105).
