2-Unit Play Take Indiana +6 over Oklahoma City (8:30 p.m. EST, Friday June 13)
We are going to go with the Pacers again. Indiana continues to be underrated by the oddsmakers despite the best overall performance in the postseason so far. The Thunder are 8-12 ATS in the playoffs and they continue to get too much respect from the oddsmakers. The Pacers aren’t a team that is going to take a game off, and they know they need to win this important Game 4, then they will have three chances to close out the series. Not sure if they will win outright, but we expect a close game.
Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports

5-Unit Play. Take #507 Oklahoma City (-6) Over Indiana (8:30 p.m., Friday, June 13)
The Pacers after each loss this playoffs have battled back with win and think in game 4 we see Thunder do it again. OKC turned the ball over at high rate in game 3 but that is not normal for this team and Thunder avoid it tonight. Take Thunder to win and cover the spread on Friday night.

7-Unit Play. #507. Take OKC -6 over Indiana Pacers (Friday @ 8:30pm est)
Note, 7* Prop goes today at 7:10pm which we love after a great 4* Prop Winner yesterday. This is not how it's going to end for OKC. They will definitely bounce-back today. This team rarely loses games and that too back to back games and that too in the playoffs. Remember, OKC lost to Indiana 107-116 last game. Remember, OKC was up by 8 points in the 1st quarter and were outscored by 14 points in the 4th quarter which won't happen here either. And, we also don't think Indiana shoots 52% from the field as well. Also, we don't see Malthurin having 27 points like he did last game which was insanity or McConnell with 10 points for that matter. OKC is not going to get down 1-3, this is a fantastic public fade and they will come out very strong today.

#507 Oklahoma City FIRST HALF (-3.5) over Indiana *8:30 EST
OK City in every playoff series has had an epic blunder / loss out of nowhere, despite being the better team. They led the NBA in first half scoring this year and I like them to rebound off the Game 3 loss and come out swinging tonight.
The Thunder had 19 turnovers that killed them last game and the Pacers bench had 49 points which is rare on both accounts. Expect OK City to come out fast and hard, play the first half line.

4-Unit Play - #507 Oklahoma City -3.5-120 1ST HALF over Indiana (Friday, June 13, 2025, 8:30pm ET)
Take Oklahoma City ATS for the first half as my top NBA pick for Friday night. Oklahoma City is the superior team in this series despite being down one game and I expect them to take care of business here tonight. I expect Oklahoma City to be much more aggressive on the boards here tonight and it really is only the fourth quarter that they have struggled with Indiana. Oklahoma City has held opponents to shooting just 43.6% against them over all the season including just 34.3% from beyond the arc which ranks first defensively in the NBA and I do expect them to step up defensively here tonight. I expect Oklahoma City to get off to a quick start here tonight as well. Play Oklahoma City ATS for the first half

7-Unit Play: Take 507 Thunder -6 over Pacers (8:30 p.m., Friday, June 13)
We had OKC in Game-2 and Indiana in Game-3 and we’ll look for the team that needs to make adjustments, in this case OKC, to come through again. The Thunder led through three quarters, on par to score 119 points but went cold (1-of-10 final 5+ minutes) and Indiana’s bench played flawlessly. The Pacers’ reserves out-scored OKC’s 49-18 after getting out-scored themselves, 48-34 in Game-2. Benedict Mathurin scored 27 points on 9 of 12 shooting after averaging 9 ppg in his previous nine playoff games. These are things that were out of the norm for both teams in Game-3 and I expect a return to normal outputs tonight. I’m laying the points with Oklahoma City. Thanks & GL! Scott Spreitzer.

4-Unit Play. Take #507 Oklahoma City (-6) over Indiana (8:30 p.m., Friday, June 13)
Yes, I am aware that Indiana just beat OKC and now the line is even higher, but OKC is not winning a close game here. The Thunder are going to make a statement tonight in Indiana and show the Pacers that they are not in control of this series. OKC just fell apart in the second half of Game 3 as their offense started to sputter under the Indiana defensive pressure. Look for OKC to attack that pressure and move the ball more efficiently here in Game 4. The Thunder win this game easily, so lay the points.

7 Unit Play Take #507 Oklahoma City -6 over Indiana (8:30pm est):
This Oklahoma City team has been the best team in the NBA all season long. They've really turned it up a notch when they have had to in the playoffs this year and tonight's another big game spot for them. The Thunder were beat in their last game and they're now a perfect 5-0 off a loss in the post-season this year and they've won that game by an average of nearly 20 points per game in their next contest. I think OKC brings it's very best to this one tonight and when they do that they can be unstoppable.
Take Oklahoma City minus the points in this one.
Thank you and good luck,

4 Unit Play - Take #508 Indiana (+6) Over OKC Thunder. (8:30p.m, Friday, June 13th)
Indiana leads the series 2-1 and has home court advantage here tonight. This is another case of what are we even talking about with this point spread. I don't care if this is a must-win situation for OKC or a motivation factor. None of this adds up. This is simple: Indiana has played dominant basketball through the entire 2025 playoff. They are leading the series, and it's not like they are just playing out of their minds. They are playing consistent, fundamental team basketball. There is nothing to overthink here. Take the Pacers here with the extra 6 points the market is giving us. It’s all traps and bait. Indiana is the play tonight.

7 Unit - Take: OKC Thunder vs. IND Pacers (OVER 226.5 Total Points) (-110) (8:30p.m., Friday, June 13th)
Tonight, we have game four between the OKC Thunder and the Indiana Pacers. The Pacers won game three at home to set the tone for the rest of the series. This Thunder team is going to come out hot tonight on the offensive side. They will aim to tie the series before returning to OKC for game five. In game three we had the under because I believed we’d see outstanding defense out of the Pacers and slow the game down from the Thunder. That is precisely what they did in game three. In game four, the dynamics of the matchup have changed slightly. The Thunder are going to come out and push the pace of play. In game three, the total points scored in that game were 223 points. The Pacers emerged victorious in that game with a score of 116-107. Tonight, the total is sitting at 226.5, and I’m expecting this Thunder team to shoot a lot better and their pace of play to be up. The Pacers should score quickly to avoid falling behind throughout the game. In this game tonight, I lean on the Thunder, going over their team's total points. We anticipate a high-scoring game tonight. The Thunder are going to give the Pacers all they've got here tonight. The Pacers just need to keep up on the offensive side. Take over 226.5 points in tonight's game.
