The Indiana Pacers (43-30) visit the Oklahoma City Thunder (61-12) on Saturday, March 29, 2025, at the Paycom Center.

The Thunder is fresh off a 125-104 win over the Memphis Grizzlies, their eighth consecutive victory. They've won by double-digit margins five times during that span, thanks to their superb defense. Oklahoma City has the best defensive rating in the league (107.0), a testament to their commitment on that end of the floor.

The Pacers are not to be outdone, though. They are coming off a whopping 162-109 victory over the Washington Wizards last March 27. It's a statement win that encapsulates the team's eighth win in the last 10 games.

When these two teams first faced each other last December 26, it was the Thunder that carved the 120-114 win. MVP frontrunner Shai Gilgeous-Alexander poured 45 markers in that victory. Meanwhile, Pacers star guard Tyrese Haliburton struggled with only 4 points.

However, things have changed in the Pacers camp these days. In the last 10 games, they increased their offensive rating from 116.7 to 122.1. During that span, Haliburton has averaged 20.1 points and 11.9 assists, along with an excellent 41.2% clip from the three-point line.

Scrutinized for struggling early in the season, Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton has found his groove. In the last 10 games, he has notched 20.1 points and 11.9 assists. He's the focal point of a resurgent Pacers offense heading into the playoffs.
