2-Unit Play Take Indiana +5.5 over Oklahoma City (8:30 p.m. EST, Wednesday June 11)
The Thunder have not been good ATS in this postseason after being one of the top ATS teams of history in the regular season. But the playoffs is a different game and opponents have risen up their level of game and we think the Pacers have a great chance to keep home court advantage in this series and win outright. Each game is its own entity, so the Pacers have the ability to put Game 2 behind them and play much better here, as we have seen in the postseason when they have before faced adversity.
Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports

4-Unit Play. Take #505 Over (228) Oklahoma City vs Indiana (8:30 p.m., Wednesday, June 11)
Game 2 was slow start in first half but picked up huge 2nd half to get late over. Expect Indy to push the entire game this time and push way over in game 3. We have both teams going over 115 as the defenses struggle to slow down the great offenses. Take the Over in Game 3 in OKC/IND on Wednesday night.

4-Unit Play. #505. Take Under 228 OKC vs. Indiana Pacers (Wednesday @ 8:30pm est)
Note, 7*MLB (7:10pm) and 7*WNBA (10pm) Selection today as we come off a great 7*WNBA Winner on the Atlanta Dream -5 yesterday over the Indiana Fever and on a great 3-0 MLB Run as well. Great +2900 in the NBA Playoffs currently and we absolutely love the Under here between these two teams. What you have here is an OKC team that rolls in having lost the first game of this series and giving up home court advantage and though they did cover and beat Indiana last game, they are definitely motivated here to get their home court advantage back. We believe Indiana will play much better defense at home, maybe get a few more calls at home and OKC will not have a let down here as they are well aware they have lost home court advantage coming in so they can ill afford to lose this game and we absolutely love this high quality public fade as this game likely goes under the posted total today.

#505 / #506 OK City / Indiana (OVER 228) *8:30 EST
The last game was a struggle to get to the 228.5 total but it landed on 230 and the Pacers could not have played worse. I had a 7 unit play out on that one for the Over.
OK City has failed to cover a spread on the road in the post season at 0-7, and one of the reasons is their defense does not travel well for whatever reason in the post season. Indiana has scored well at home and I expect them to open it up tonight and for OK City to counter punch as we all know they can. The Pacers last 2 home games they scored 125 and 130. The Thunders last 2 road games they allowed 126 and 143.
Vernon Croy
7-Unit Play - #505 Oklahoma City -5-110 over Indiana (Wednesday, June 11, 2025, 8:30pm ET)
Take Oklahoma City ATS as my top NBA pick for Wednesday night. This pick falls into one of my top NBA systems and Oklahoma City is hands down the superior team in the series and I do expect them to take care of business on the road. Oklahoma City had a meltdown in the fourth quarter of the first game of this series and since then they have dominated and I do expect that to continue on the road here tonight. I expect Oklahoma City to step up defensively here tonight and they have held opponents to shooting just 43.5% against them overall this season including 34.3% from beyond the arc which ranks first defensively in the NBA holding opponents to just 107.3 points per game against them which ranks second defensively in the NBA. Opponents have shot 47% against Indiana overall the season which ranks 23rd defensively in the NBA with opponents averaging 114.9 points per game against them. I do expect Oklahoma City winning by at least 10 points. Play Oklahoma City ATS

4-Unit Play: Take 506 Pacers +5.5 over Thunder (8:30 p.m., Wednesday, June 11)
It's not quite but virtually now or never for the Pacers if they wish to win this series - after all, they split in OKC. While they've struggled in Game-3's this postseason, they were up 2-0 in all three series. Tonight, there's some desperation and they're facing an OKC team that's 0-7 ATS on the playoff road. The Thunder are 4-3 SU on the road this postseason with the wins coming by less than four ppg. Indiana HC Rick Carlisle has made adjustments all postseason and in playoffs past and I'm betting he does the same tonight. I believe we'll see more FGA from Haliburton and more focus on team points in the paint. I'm taking the points with the Pacers. Thanks & GL! Scott Spreitzer.

7-Unit Play. Take #505 Oklahoma City (-5) over Indiana (8:30 p.m., Wednesday, June 11)
Oklahoma City has controlled most of this series, and despite the change in venue I like them to continue to do the same thing. I am in favor of a high scoring affair tonight as Indiana should play well early in this game, which is the opposite of the first two, but the Thunder will match suit. OKC is just better at all facets of the game and will take a lot of wind out of the Pacer sails by winning and covering this road line.

3 Unit Play Take #505 Oklahoma City -5 over Indiana (8:30pm est):
I think Oklahoma City steps up here and when they've won in the playoffs this year their 12 victories have come by nearly 20 points per win. Indiana has actually lost their first home game (game three in a series) in each of their last two playoff battles.
Lay the points here with Oklahoma City in this one.
Thank you and good luck,

4 Unit Play - Take #506 Indiana (+5) Over OKC Thunder. (8:30p.m, Wednesday, June 11th)
Indiana comes into this game tied in the series 1-1. Indiana now has home court advantage tonight, where they have gone 6-2 during postseason play. Indiana is now 12-6 ATS during the 2025 playoffs and playing out of their minds. Back at home tonight in a must-win situation, Indiana is the play. We are getting 5 points with a team that has surged through Milwaukee, Cleveland, and New York. Do not overthink it; take the points and take the Pacers as the sharp play.
Take #506 Indiana (+5) Over OKC Thunder.

3 Units: Take OKC Thunder vs. Indiana Pacers (UNDER 228 Total Points) (-110) (8:30p.m., Wednesday, June 11th)
We have game three starting here tonight in Indiana, where the Pacers look to take the lead in the series 2-1. The OKC Thunder got the best of the Pacers in game two. Can they keep that same attack here tonight on the road? This Pacers team is relentless with their hard-nosed defense. I believe we’re going to see some defense step up here tonight in game three. For the Pacers to have a shot at this game, they need to slow the pace of play down and play hard defense. That is exactly what I think will happen here tonight. I believe the total score will be lower due to the strong defense exhibited by both teams. The Pacers just need to slow down in transition. If they don’t, they’re going to be run out of the gym like in game two. I think we see the total of 228 total points go under here in game three.
