Indiana Pacers vs Oklahoma City Thunder

Odds: IND: 58.5% | OKC: 41.5% Although Indiana is out of the postseason race, the amount of talent on the roster can’t be overlooked. It’s unlikely that Tyrese Haliburton and Myles Turner play tonight, but even then the Pacers have been good at home this season while Oklahoma City has been bad on the road. Furthermore, the Thunder have gone through a brutal schedule of late from a timing and load standpoint. Earlier this week, they had a back-to-back before hitting the road to come to Indiana. More holistically, the Thunder have played 17 games in the last 31 days. It will be interesting to see how OKC holds up, but our models predict an upset of the Thunder who are four-point favorites.

Memphis Grizzlies vs LA Clippers

Odds: MEM: 69.2% | LAC: 30.8% Entering this contest, the Grizzlies are 5.5 point favorites, which our models align with. With Paul George sidelined, there’s even more pressure on the shoulders of Russell Westbrook and Kawhi Leonard. Furthermore, Memphis is absolutely dominant at home, going 34-6 at FedExForum this season.  There’s never a safe bet in sports, but it’s all about maximizing your odds. ProFitX would consider this a game the Grizzlies have a high chance of winning, which is validated by the Sports Probability Platform.
