The Pacers have won 4 of their 6 games, led by T.J. Warren, who leads all scorers since the restart. Indiana was outscored by 14 points during the 3rd quarter of a 114-92 loss against Miami On Monday.

If the Pacers finish 4th or 5th they will avoid the top 3 teams in the East (Milwaukee, Toronto and Boston) in the first round of the playoffs. The 4th and 5th seeds will duel in Round 1.

The Rockets have won also 4 of their 6 bubble games and trail Denver by 1.5 games for 3rd place in the West. On Tuesday, Houston played without James Harden during a 123-105 loss to San Antonio. Out-rebounded by a 59-37 margin in the loss.

Indiana have locked the 5th spot in the East and cannot move, which has generated suspicions that Brogdon, Myles Turner and Oladipo may all miss.

The Raptors improved to 51-19 overall following their 114-106 win over the Bucks on Monday. Both the Raptors and the Bucks rested starters as both are guaranteed their current spots in the East standings. Toronto will finish 2nd behind the Bucks.

The 76ers prioritized long-term health over potential short-term gain when they sat Embiid, Tobias Harris, Al Horford and Josh Richardson in a 130-117 loss to Phoenix on Tuesday, dropping to 6th in the East standings a 1/2 game behind Indiana.

Toronto may rest Siakam and Lowry, while Philadelphia is battling for a better seed in the Eastern but are likely to be without Embiid (knee).

Philadelphia has won 4 of his last 6 straight up and will face a group of non-starters for the Raptors.

Lots of moving parts here.

Oklahoma City look to bounce back from a poor loss, dropping to 43-27 after a 128-101 loss to giant-killers Phoenix, albeit without 4 of their top-scorers. Schroder will not play but and three others are questionable.

Miami are locked in 4th spot in the East and despite their bench depth, OKC have more to play for.

PICK  – OKLAHOMA CITY +3.5
