The Oklahoma City Thunder at 40-14 have left no doubt that they are the best team in the Western Conference. They have lost two straight games for just the second time all season, and the last time they lost two straight they went out and punished Houston. This is a consistent team that has lost three straight just one time since January 29, 2010. Indiana has aborted the Golden State/Phoenix run-and-gun offense, as they now have a more versatile and talented team, working their way into the top 10 in fewest points allowed. The Thunder has seen their offense cooled down over the last three games, but the defense, once an Achilles heel, has impressed over the last 10 games, as their 9 overtime free games have seen the opponent score 98 or less in all of them. They have now played four straight to the UNDER. The Thunder are 39-17-1 ATS as a road favorite of -4.5 or less in their last 57, and have played 19 of their last 26 vs. the East to the UNDER. The Pacers are just 4-10 ATS in their last 14 after a big 10+ point win in their previous game. Play Oklahoma City and the UNDER.
