3* OKL -14.5 Not only are the Thunder far superior to the Pacers - especially with big man Myles Turner out for Indiana - but the spot sets up perfect for Oklahoma City. The Pacers just stunned the Timberwolves, 130-107, on Tuesday night. Now this young Pacers squad has a second straight road game playing at Chesapeake Energy Arena, one of the toughest venues in the league. The Pacers then return home and don't play again until Sunday. They've been on the road since Saturday. I can't see the Pacers producing a strong effort here. I do see the Thunder motivated for a kill spot. Oklahoma City has been sitting around stewing since losing 115-113 at home on Sunday to Minnesota when Andrew Wiggins banked in a 3-pointer at the buzzer to give the Timberwolves a stunning victory. The Thunder were victimized by several bad calls at the end in what was one of the worst officiated games of the season. A subplot to this matchup is Paul George going against his former teammates. George will be psyched for this matchup as he didn't like how his exit was handled by the Pacers. This would be a tough matchup for the Pacers even if they had Turner, their best player, shot-blocker and rim-protector. Without Turner, who remains out with a concussion, the Pacers may be the worst team at defending the paint. Minnesota scored more than half of its 107 points in the paint against Indiana last night. Russell Westbrook, George and Carmelo Athony can take advantage. These three superstars would like to put on a show for their home fans. This is a golden opportunity for them.The stage is set.

Croy 4-Unit Play. Take #053-054 Buffalo/Columbus GAME TOTAL OVER 5.5 -110 (Wednesday, October 25th at 8:00 PM ET)
Take Buffalo/Columbus GAME TOTAL OVER as my 4-Unit NHL Smash for Wednesday night. This pick falls into one of my top NHL systems and both of these teams have been putting the puck in the net while also allowing a lot of goals. The average goals per game in the Sabres last 3 games played is 8 gpg and the average gpg in the Blue Jackets last 4 games is 7 gpg. Buffalo is beat up on defense and their penalty-kill has been terrible on the road this season. The Sabres have allowed 4 gpg this season and the Blue Jackets have averaged 3.4 gpg over their last 5 games. The O/U is 6-0 for the Sabres in their last 6 games when playing a team with a winning record and the O/U is 16-7-2 for the Sabres in their last 25 games when playing with no rest. The O/U is 6-2 for the Sabres in their last 8 road games against the Blue Jackets and the O/U is 10-4-1 in the last 15 games played between these two teams. Play the OVER as we bounce back and move to 12-4 my last 16 NHL plays.
