The Oklahoma City Thunder continues to navigate its east coast road trip as they're set to take on the Indiana Pacers. They're coming off two straight losses, and they've yet to lose three straight games at any given point this season.

As things stand now, with six regular season games remaining for the Thunder, they hold the No. 3 seed in the Western Conference while standing just behind the No. 1 seed with the Denver Nuggets and Minnesota Timberwolves ahead of them.

The Pacers are also coming off a loss, splitting one of two games with the Brooklyn Nets in a baseball-style series. They're arguably facing more pressure to win this one as they're in the thick of the Play-In Tournament race, trying to avoid the tournament and secure a playoff spot.

The Thunder needs to get back in the win column. It's not make or break, and they're likely set in stone for a top three seed in the Western Conference, but to get on the right side of winning. The playoffs are near, and this team has an opportunity to bounce back before its two stars -- Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jalen Williams -- hit the floor healthy again.

Outside of those two -- which makes a big impact on this game -- there's nothing substantial on the report, giving the Pacers an edge.

Updated Odds

The Pacers, on their home floor, are a 5.5-point favorite. The Thunder is limping into this game on a two-game losing streak without its two best players, so the Pacers being favored is no shock at all.
