Game #4 – Second Round Playoffs (DEN leads series 2-1)
Matchup Breakdown:
The Denver Nuggets have taken a surprising 2-1 lead in the series after a 113–104 overtime victory in Game 3. Despite Nikola Jokić's subdued performance, the Nuggets' supporting cast stepped up, with Aaron Gordon, Michael Porter Jr., and Jamal Murray contributing significantly.
The Oklahoma City Thunder, after a dominant regular season, find themselves in a must-win situation to avoid falling into a 3-1 deficit. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was held to 18 points in Game 3, and the team will need a more aggressive and efficient performance from their MVP candidate. Jalen Williams' 32-point effort in Game 3 was a bright spot, and the Thunder will look to build on that momentum.
SGA needs to step his game up now and show he is not just a soft regular season player. I think the Thunder will get it done.
Key Trends:
Thunder are 56-30-4 against the spread (ATS) this season.
Nuggets are 43-47-2 ATS this season.
The total has gone under in 4 of the last 5 meetings between these teams.

🏀 Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Indiana Pacers
🕒 Time: 5:00 PM PT
📍 Location: Gainbridge Fieldhouse (Indianapolis)
Spread: Cavaliers -5.5 (-115) | Pacers +5.5 (-105)
Moneyline: Cavaliers -225 | Pacers +185
Total: 231.0 (O -110, U -110)
Game #4 – Second Round Playoffs (IND leads series 2-1)
Matchup Breakdown:
The Cleveland Cavaliers bounced back in Game 3 with a dominant performance, defeating the Indiana Pacers and narrowing the series deficit to 2-1. Donovan Mitchell continued his stellar playoff run, averaging over 40 points per game in the series. The Cavaliers' switch to a 3-2 zone defense, with Evan Mobley at the top, disrupted the Pacers' offensive flow, limiting Tyrese Haliburton to just four points.
The Indiana Pacers will look to adjust their offensive strategy to counter the Cavaliers' zone defense. Despite the loss, the Pacers have been strong at home and will aim to capitalize on their home-court advantage to take a commanding 3-1 series lead.
This is a tough game to call — The Cavs came out strong, but I feel like the series is the Pacers to lose. However, if the Pacers drop this one, they might be in trouble.
Key Trends:
Cavaliers are 52-36-1 ATS this season.
Pacers are 5-2 in their last seven head-to-head meetings with the Cavaliers.
The total has gone over in 4 of the last 5 meetings between these teams.
