Thunder vs. Pacers prediction, picks
Justin Martinez: OKC 117, Indiana 107
Despite recording season lows of 11 assists and three made 3-pointers, OKC found a way to sneak out of Indianapolis with a Game 4 win. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander shined down the stretch after being shadowed by Andrew Nembhard all night, Jalen Williams stepped up as a shot creator and Chet Holmgren delivered his second straight double-double performance. The Thunder is entering Game 5 with momentum, and it'll get another boost when it plays in front of its home crowd. I'm going with OKC.
