Indiana Pacers Face Crucial Test: Can They Silence the ‘Fishy’ Critics in Thunder Game 5?

Now, I know the Pacers have been a lock on the road this postseason. They are 7-3 straight up (SU) and against the spread (ATS) in road games with a +7.2 spread differential. Yet, the Thunder are 9-2 SU and 8-3 ATS with a +21.5 scoring margin at home in these playoffs. Their opponents are shooting 35.9% from the field and averaging roughly 19 turnovers in those games. 

Oklahoma City’s defense has been the best thing in the 2025 NBA Playoffs, and I’m more confident the Thunder have figured out Indiana’s offense than vice versa. Granted, OKC got lucky to win Friday, but the Pacers have been lucky throughout the postseason and the Thunder will put their season on the brink after Game 5.
