Indiana Pacers - Oklahoma City Thunder: betting tip and bets on the NBA match

Current form

So far, Indiana is more like a group of talented actors who have forgotten the script. Their last rehearsal, the game against the San Antonio Spurs on October 18, ended with the audience clapping not for them, but for the opponent. The scoreboard showed 104:133, and this was the story where the Indiana defense got lost somewhere between the scenes. Without Tyrese Haliburton, the team looked like a movie without a main character: it seemed beautifully shot, but the plot didn't hold.

Aaron Nesmith tried to pull — 12 points, a little light in the dark. Bennedikt Mathuren added 11, Pascal Siakam provided nine and four assists, but it all looked like a montage without rhythm. The second half turned into a series of losses and uncoordinated actions. After this defeat, the 2-2 preseason balance doesn't look catastrophic, but somewhere in the air it feels like this team is looking for its own music.

Now let's look at the other side. Oklahoma is a movie where the credits haven't ended yet, but it's already clear who the main character is. The team started the season as a true champion, beating the Houston Rockets 125-124 in a match that stretched into two overtimes. It wasn't just basketball, it was a scene from a classic blockbuster movie: the fans roaring, the championship flag rising over the arena, and Shy Gilges-Alexander stepping onto the floor like a man who knows that the script was written for him.

35 points — and almost half after the break. He coolly makes a point with two free kicks, knocking out a foul from Kevin Durant. Chet Holmgren is next to him, with 28 points and seven rebounds, as if he came to the court not to play, but to rewrite the rules of the genre. And somewhere Ajay Mitchell comes off the bench with 16 points, as if he were the minor character who suddenly becomes a supporting star.

Oklahoma scores an average of 104.4 points per game (statistics for the last ten games).
