The Pacers will need to play with pace in this series and avoid letting the Thunder take them out of offensive spots. Oklahoma City is one of the best defensive teams in NBA history, which could cause some issues for Indiana throughout.

If Indiana can match the defense from the Thunder with their own offense, this series could be very exciting. But Oklahoma City is a machine, and can break out a game in the matter of minutes.

Game 1 between the two teams is all set to begin at 8:30 p.m. ET on Thursday.
