Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is projected to achieve over 0.5 blocks in the game against the Indiana Pacers, which aligns with his recent defensive performance. His expected stat value for blocks is 0.9, indicating a high likelihood of him blocking at least one shot during this game.

Moreover, his overall hit rate for the last three games is 100%, demonstrating a strong recent performance.

Oklahoma City Thunder vs Indiana Pacers : Indiana Pacers 9.5 (-112)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
The Indiana Pacers are a strong bet for the Point Spread market due to their striking offensive performance. In the last five games, their overall team score is higher than the Oklahoma City Thunder, both in general (122.2 vs. 117.8) and when they are playing away (117.8 vs. 119.6). Although both teams share a similar overall and home-away record, the Pacers' superior scoring ability provides them an edge. Equally important to note, the Pacers have conceded fewer points on average when playing away than the Thunder have at home (125.6 vs 118.2). Despite the Pacers being the away team, these statistics suggest they have a good chance of covering a 9.5 point spread against the Thunder.
Andrew Nembhard (Indiana Pacers) Over 0.5 Steals (-244)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
Andrew Nembhard's performance in recent games makes this bet a logical choice. His average for the last five overall steals is 2.2, far exceeding the required 0.5 for this bet. Moreover, when looking at his away games, his average is 1.4 steals—almost triple the outcome point. His performance against the opponent, Oklahoma City Thunder, also supports this bet as his average steals against them is 1, and it increases to 1.2 when playing in their home court. Furthermore, his consistency is worth noting, having hit the mark in 11 of his last 14 games overall and 3 out of 4 of his most recent away games. These statistics indicate a high probability that Nembhard will achieve more than 0.5 steals in the upcoming game.
Luguentz Dort (Oklahoma City Thunder) Over 12.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-132)
Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing
The bet on Luguentz Dort to achieve over 12.5 in points, rebounds, and assists is largely based on his impressive performance in recent games, particularly at home. On average, Dort has been achieving 8.8 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 1.4 assists in his last five home games, totalling 14 points in these categories which surpasses the over point target of 12.5. This trend is more pronounced when playing against the Pacers at home, where he averages 16 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 1.2 assists, totalling 22 points in these categories. Furthermore, Dort's hit rate in the last 20 home games is 85% (17/20), supporting the likelihood of him reaching the over point target. Therefore, statistical data strongly supports this bet based on Dort's superior home performance and his record against the Pacers.
Luguentz Dort (Oklahoma City Thunder) Under 1.5 Steals (-238)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
The key rationale for betting on Luguentz Dort for Under 1.5 steals in the Oklahoma City Thunder vs Indiana Pacers game revolves around his recent performance and his average against this specific opponent. Although Dort has an average of 2.4 steals in the last five home games, his average steals drop to 1.6 when playing against the Pacers. Even when considering home games against the Pacers, his average is still 1.8 steals, which is closer to the under outcome. Additionally, his expected stat value for this game is 0.92, which is significantly lower than the outcome point of 1.5. This suggests that, based on his current form and historical performance against the Pacers, it is statistically more likely for Luguentz Dort to finish the game with fewer than 1.5 steals.
