Justin Martinez: OKC 113, Indiana 109
Indiana disrupted OKC’s rhythm on offense in Game 3. It caused problems for Shai Gilgeous-Alexander with its physicality, and it made numerous hustle plays to help force 19 turnovers. But the safe bet is that Gilgeous-Alexander will bounce back, and a good amount of those turnovers were careless ones that can be cleaned up. I expect the Thunder to play its best basketball Friday in what’s pretty close to a must-win game. Give me OKC on the road.
