Bet on Pacers vs ThunderThunder to Take NBA Title
After five games in the series, Oklahoma lead 3-2 and have one hand on the trophy. The NBA Finals got underway earlier in the month, with Pacers beating Thunder by one point at Paycom Center to take a 1-0 lead.
Mark Daigneault’s men returned to winning ways, sealing a much-needed 123-107 victory at Paycom Center in game two. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 34 of Oklahoma’s 123 points to tie the series at 1-1.
Indiana moved back in front in the third meeting, claiming an impressive 116-107 victory in front of over 17,000 in Indianapolis. However, Thunder have sealed back-to-back victories to lead the series for the first time.
Last time out, Daigneault’s troops won by 11 points in Oklahoma City. The superb Jalen Williams scored 40, while Pascal Siakam bagged 28 points for Indiana. Thunder now have two chances to get the win to secure the 2025 NBA title.
Pacers beat Milwaukee Bucks and Cleveland Cavaliers before meeting New York Knicks in the Conference finals. Rick Carlisle’s team claimed a 4-2 victory over Knicks to book their place in the NBA Finals. The odds are stacked against them, but can Indiana win the next two and get their hands on the crown?
Oklahoma, the Western Conference champions, were fancied to win the playoffs before the action got underway. They cruised past Memphis Grizzlies before a narrow 4-3 victory over Denver Nuggets. In the Conference finals, Daigneault’s boys showed their class by defeating Minnesota Timberwolves by four games to one.
Gilgeous-Alexander to Shine Again
Pacers may be on home ground, but Carlisle’s men are the underdogs in this sixth game in the series. Indiana are priced at 3.00, while the Oklahoma victory is available at 1.37. If Thunder fail to get the job done in Indianapolis, they will certainly fancy their chances at Paycom Center in game seven.
When the pair last locked horns at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, Thunder secured a 111-104 win. We fancy Oklahoma to win -4.5 again, available at the tempting betting odds of 1.66.
Thunder’s main man, Gilgeous-Alexander, scored 38 points in the series opener and 34 points in the second NBA Finals fixture. The 26-year-old Canadian has had a stunning season in Oklahoma, and Gilgeous-Alexander is available at 1.85 to score over 33.5 points for Thunder in this crucial fixture.
