BIG AL's DOUBLE 100% (19-0) NBA GAME 3 SMASH!
Handicapper: Al McMordie
League: NBA
Competition: Oklahoma City Thunder vs Indiana Pacers
Time: Wednesday, June 11, 08:30 pm ET
Bet Type: Point Spread
Pick: Indiana Pacers +5.5 (-115) (DraftKings) 1*
Analysis:
At 8:30 pm, our selection is on the Indiana Pacers + the points over Oklahoma City. We played on OKC and its two home games to start this series, but will switch gears and grab the points with the Pacers at home tonight. When you look at how the Thunder are performing on the road in the Playoffs, compared to its home games, there is a stark difference. At home, the Thunder are 8-3 ATS and have covered the point spread by an average of 11.31 ppg. But on the road, it is a horrid 0-7 ATS and has failed to cover the point spread by an average of 13.64 ppg. The Pacers, meanwhile, are 5-3 ATS at home in the Playoffs, and have covered by an average of 3.68 ppg. Even better: Indiana is a dominant 12-0 ATS in the Playoffs when playing with revenge from a Playoff defeat by more than 12 points. With Indy off a 123-107 loss in Game 2, we'll grab the points with Indy tonight. Good luck, as always...

BIG AL's NBA GM 3 TOTALS WINNER (621-474 RUN)
Handicapper: Al McMordie
League: NBA
Competition: Oklahoma City Thunder vs Indiana Pacers
Time: Wednesday, June 11, 08:30 pm ET
Bet Type: Over / Under
Pick: Oklahoma City Thunder vs Indiana Pacers Under 228 (-110) (DraftKings) 1*
Analysis:
At 8:30 pm, our selection is on Game 3 between Indiana and Oklahoma City to go UNDER the total. The Oddsmakers have installed a relatively-high over/under line for this series so far. Game 2 squeaked over the total of 228 when OKC won, 123-107. We'll look for a lower-scoring game tonight, as NBA teams have gone 23-6 UNDER the total in games with O/U lines north of 223, following a Playoff defeat in which they gave up 122+ points. Take the UNDER. Good luck, as always...
