The Indiana Pacers face a daunting challenge as they attempt to avoid elimination against the Oklahoma City Thunder without the full services of Tyrese Haliburton, whose calf injury has rendered him questionable for the game. Known for their resilience, the Pacers will need to draw on all their resources if Haliburton can't play at full capacity. The Thunder enter as road favorites, and the spread reflects the uncertainty surrounding Haliburton's health.

In the latest matchup, roster strategy becomes crucial with FanDuel's unique single-game contest format, where MVP candidates like Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Haliburton command high salaries. The performance of supporting players such as Myles Turner and T.J. McConnell could be pivotal if Haliburton is limited. Players like Jalen Williams and Pascal Siakam are also expected to see high roster percentages due to their recent performances, making value plays essential for optimizing lineups.
