Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing
The bet on 'Oklahoma City Thunder Under 129.5' for the Team Total Points (Alternate) market in the game against Indiana Pacers is a good choice, based on the team's recent performance data. Over the last five games, Oklahoma City Thunder has a home record of 2-3 with an average score of 117.8, significantly below the target point of 129.5. Even when considering only home games, where their record is slightly better at 3-2, their average score is 119.6, still well short of 129.5. Additionally, the model predicts a total score of 98.13 for the Thunder, considerably lower than the 129.5 threshold. These statistics suggest that the Thunder are unlikely to exceed the 129.5 point mark, making the 'Under' bet a statistically sound choice.

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing
The bet on 'Under 252.5' for the Total Points in the Oklahoma City Thunder vs Indiana Pacers game is supported by several statistical factors. Both teams' recent scoring and defensive performance suggest a lower scoring game. The Thunder's last five games at home have resulted in an average total score of 237.8 points, while the Pacers' last five away games averaged 243.4 points - both significantly lower than the 252.5 total point threshold. Additionally, the model prediction for this game is 207.67 points, again well below the betting line. Although the Pacers have a relatively high scoring average, their last five away games suggest a dip in performance. This, coupled with the Thunder's consistent defensive record at home, make a total score under 252.5 a statistically sound bet.

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
The bet on Indiana Pacers to win the moneyline market in their NBA matchup against Oklahoma City Thunder is supported by their scoring performance. Over the last five games, the Pacers have outscored the Thunder overall (122.2 to 117.8). Despite being the away team, the Pacers' L5 Away Team Score (117.8) is negligibly lower than Thunder's L5 Home Team Score (119.6), indicating their scoring potential is not significantly affected by playing on the road. Furthermore, the teams' past records against each other are evenly matched (2-2), suggesting that home advantage for the Thunder might not be a decisive factor. In conclusion, recent scoring trends and head-to-head history favor an Indiana Pacers win.
