The Oklahoma City Thunder will be the #1 seed in the West and have the homecourt advantage for as long as they are alive in the postseason. They have opened a comfortable 2.5-game lead over the Cavs for the top seed overall, and own a 32-5 home record on the season. They will host an Indiana team that is 43-30 and holding down fourth place in the East. The Pacers are a hot team that has won eight of their last 10 and covered each of the last three. Oklahoma City is playing well, but the line here is too much, as Indiana is a competent team playing well. Grab the points with the Pacers.

Premium Picks
Indiana at Oklahoma City
OKlahoma City has arrived as a franchise as the Thunder enter this game at 45-19 on the season. The Pacers have been a run-and-gun team all season, but the oddsmakers have not only caught up, they have over-compensated the totals in Pacer games, and Indiana is now 10-3 to the UNDER in their last 13 games. The Thunder are feeling some of the same things. They started the season 33-23 to the OVER, but oddsmakers took notice and they are 4-1 to the UNDER in their last five. I like this one to stay UNDER the total.

Oklahoma City at Indiana
The kids at Oklahoma City are playing hard fighting for a playoff spot on a 10-5 SU, 8-6-1 ATS run. The offense is fifth in the NBA in points scored and sixth from the charity stripe (80.8%). OKC is on a 48-29 spread run on the road, 36-22 ATS in non-conference action, plus 20-8 ATS after having won two of their last three. Indiana is winding down a lost season on a 2-7 SU/ATS slide. The Pacers are 21st in the league in field goal shooting, while the defense is terrible, ranked 29th in points surrendered, 22nd in field goal shooting allowed, and 27th at defending beyond the arc. The Pacers are on a 39-56 spread run in the second half of the season, so back the motivated visitors. Play Oklahoma City.
