Despite Kevin Durant once again sidelined for an extended period of time, the Russell Westbrook-led Thunder continue to climb the Western Conference standings.  OKC has won two in a row without Durant and can match its longest winning streak of the season (seven games) with a win at home against the Pacers on Tuesday (8 p.m. ET, NBA-TV).

Line: Thunder -6.5, Total: 204 (check The Linemakers on Sporting News' odds page for current NBA point spreads and totals)

The average score after AccuScore ran its 10,000-plus simulations is OKC 104, Indiana 94, and there's s about a 58 percent chance the total combined score stays UNDER 204.

AccuScore best bet: There's a 62 percent chance OKC covers a -6.5 spread, a four-star (out of four) AccuScore hot trend.

In the past week, when results from AccuScore’s simulations are 2-4 points different than the Vegas betting line, AccuScore has gone 4-1 (80 percent, +290 units).

Oklahoma City is 4-1 ATS in its last five games at home.
