The NBA Playoffs are hitting that thrilling stage where every possession counts, momentum swings fast, and sharp bettors can capitalize on trends that others miss. With teams pushing for a Finals spot, betting edges come from studying matchups, recent form, and how teams perform under pressure. Staying consistent with a focused strategy is what turns solid picks into winning streaks.
Yesterday was another perfect 2-for-2 day here at Hot Streak Picks!
✅ The Indiana Pacers (-3.5) handled business against the Knicks, punching their ticket to the NBA Finals for the first time since 2000 with a dominant 125-108 win. Pascal Siakam dropped 31 and Tyrese Haliburton came alive in the fourth with 11 of his 21 points.
✅ We also hit the over 218.5, as both teams combined for 233 points, easily clearing the line.
Let’s keep that energy rolling into today’s slate.
✅ Indiana Pacers (+9.5) at Oklahoma City Thunder – We’re riding the Pacers to cover tonight. Despite being road dogs, Indiana has covered in 4 of its last 6 trips to OKC. Plus, they’ve gone 8-4 straight up in their last 12 against the Thunder. With their offense clicking and momentum on their side, +9.5 feels like too much of a cushion to pass up.
✅ Pacers vs Thunder UNDER 231 – Yes, Indiana’s games have been trending over lately, but this is a different matchup. The Thunder’s style and playoff intensity should slow things down. We’re projecting this game finishes around 225. That gives us some solid breathing room under the posted total.
