Indiana Pacers vs Oklahoma City Thunder Prediction and Betting Pick. Indiana Pacers host Oklahoma City Thunder as -4.5 favorites with a 208.5 line at 6.00 PM ET on Sunday, April 12 2015. The home team won eight of last ten meetings, and six of last seven. The teams met in February in Oklahoma City and Thunder won 105-92, covering the -7.5 spread as the game went under 205.0.
Indiana Pacers are just one game behind both Boston and Brooklyn in the East and have a right to hope for a postseason appearance, but only if they keep winning. They did win their last four games – after losing to both Brooklyn and Boston – and could still sneak into the playoffs. The Pacers are undefeated since getting Paul George back from injury.
Oklahoma City Thunder are just behind New Orleans in the West and can also hope to make it to the playoffs. However, their schedule has been very difficult and they only won against Phoenix and Sacramento in last eight, having to face the likes of San Antonio, Houston, Memphis and Dallas over that span. Russel Westbrook has to do everything around here as Kevin Durant and Serge Ibaka are on the disabled list.

Indiana Pacers vs Oklahoma City Thunder Prediction. This will be a duel between organized and unspectacular Pacers and the flair of Russell Westbrook. Westbrook scored 26, 21 and 20 points in last three games against the Pacers. Not enough. Paul George of Indiana might just make the difference, as the Pacers actually want to do something in the playoffs, as opposed to Oklahoma City who can’t count on doing anything without two of their three main players. Pacers will win but it will be a close game. Pacers vs Thunder Betting Pick: Thunder +4.5. Pacers vs Thunder Predicted Score: 100-97
