Game Preview
OKC responded in Game 2, winning 123-107. That game saw them covering the spread, but we didn’t bet on that yet on under, which was a good choice. Guys who made this possible weren’t starters – Alex Caruso with 20 points and Aaron Wiggins with 18. The two combined 9 threes.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 34 points with 8 assists, while Jalen Williams added 19. Chet Holmgren scored 15. This time, the OKC managed to control the glass well, having 43 rebounds compared to Indiana’s 35.
The Pacers were again diverse on the offensive side of the field but, they couldn’t slow down the Thunder in defense. Plus even though they hit 14 threes, they weren’t rational when shooting from deep.
Haliburton had 17 points with 6 assists, and Myle Turner scored 16. Pascal Siakam was terrible, going 3-for-11 from the field and collecting only 15 points. His lack of offensive pressure made it much easier for the Thunder to defend other players.

Thunder vs. Pacers Game 3 Predictions
The series moves to Indiana, where the Pacers play a much faster style of basketball and tend to pressure their rivals through high intensity and pace. The TOTAL is 228.5 points, and we simply have to take OVER here because of Indiana’s approach and the fact that OKC has a fantastic offense as well.
