Pacers vs. Thunder Game 4 Odds & Lines

Game Preview
The Pacers had their chance, now let’s see how they handle pressure following a loss and a wasted opportunity to put one hand on the Larry O’Brien trophy. They were up 7 points coming into the fourth period, yet scored only 17 in the finals 12 minutes while allowing 31.
Not controlling the glass was a huge problem because the Pacers had 33 boards and OKC 10 more. Siakam had 20 points, Haliburton 18, while Obi Toppin got off the bench to score 17.

The Thunder had only four players with a double-digit number of points. Yet three had 20 or more. Shai scored 35 points, and Jalen Williams 27. The two went to the foul line 21 times combined, not missing a single shot.
Alex Caruso came off the bench to add 20 more points and had 5 steals, playing magnificent defense. Chet Holmgren was there to post a double-double with 14 points and 15 rebounds.
Pacers vs. Thunder Head to Head
The series is tied now at 2-all. In Game 4, UNDER took place again, and the Thunder covered the spread.
Pacers vs. Thunder Predictions
We’ve already mentioned it before, the Thunder now has the momentum, and they’re back home. That’s enough for us to pick OKC to win here and cover a 5.5-point spread. This is an alternative handicap as the original one is -9.5, which is a bit too high and risky for us.
