OKC have won their last two out of three games versus the Pacers and have covered two of three games. This will be OKC's third game at home where they are comfortable, winning nine straight at home, and where they are one of the best covering teams in the league. This is the first meeting this season between these two teams and OKC will win and cover in this spot as their offense will outplay the Pacers while their defense will check a lot of the Pacers offensive efforts. This is Indiana's second back to back road game where they have only won two of their last five games and are off a road win to Orlando. OKC should win this one with little trouble as the Pacers will be without McDermott and Mathurin.
