The Oklahoma City Thunder bounced back from a stunning Game 1 loss and left the Indiana Pacers in the dust on Sunday, 123-107. With the teams tied at 1-1, the series moves to Indiana for Game 3 on Wednesday at 8:30 p.m. ET. In four games against the Pacers this season, league MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has scored 45, 33, 38, and 34 points. Will Indiana be able to slow him down on their home court? The Thunder are 5-point road favorites in Game 3 with the over/under at 228 points in the latest Thunder vs. Pacers odds. Oklahoma City is a -198 favorite (risk $198 to win $100) on the money line, while Indiana is a +164 underdog (risk $100 to win $164) for anyone finalizing how to bet Thunder vs. Pacers Game 3.

Cohen’s Analysis: I missed the Game 2 score by ONE point so time to see if I can nail it right on the head. Unlike Game 2, Wednesday night’s game will be close throughout, but I think the Thunder steals one on the road. Sunday’s contest flew over in the second half but I would be very surprised if we saw anything close to 130 points in the third and fourth quarters this time…
