Thunder vs Pacers Prediction
The current betting odds have the Thunder listed as a 6 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. This is game 4 of a 7 game series between the 1st seeded Thunder from the Western Conference and the 4th seeded Pacers from the Eastern Conference for the NBA Finals. The Pacers are leading this series 2-1 after winning game 3 at home. The Pacers took a 2-1 series lead with a 116-107 win over the Thunder in the 3rd game of this series and they have shown that they are going to put up a good fight in this series. That game was back and forth for a bit, but once the Pacers came back and took a lead they were able to stay up for most of the 2nd half. The Thunder didn't look bad in that game though and they have struggled more in their road games throughout the playoffs. They will be looking to bounce back in this one though and they are going to bring their best effort to even up this series as the last thing they want is to go back home down 3-1 in the series. They still need to flip the home advantage back in their favor so they are going to throw everything at the Pacers to win this game, and they haven't lost 2 games in a row during these playoffs yet either. The Thunder always find a way to respond after losing and this game will be no different as they will adjust to the way the Pacers played at home in that last game. The best way to place a bet here is on the Thunder to cover the spread in this game.
