With the NBA Finals heating up, momentum is everything—on the court and in your betting strategy. We’ve seen wild swings, clutch performances, and sharp betting angles come into play night after night. As we head into Game 5, understanding team trends, playoff pressure, and player consistency is key to staying ahead of the books.
Yesterday wasn’t our day—we went 0 for 2. We had Indiana +6, and the Pacers lost by 7 in a heartbreaker. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was unstoppable late, pouring in 15 of his 35 points in the final 4:38, helping Oklahoma City storm back from a 10-point deficit and lock up a 111-104 win. We also missed on the over at 227.5. Despite a furious finish, the total landed just under the number. The series is now tied 2-2, and the tension couldn’t be higher as the scene shifts back to Oklahoma City.
Today’s NBA Picks:
Oklahoma City Thunder -9.5 vs Indiana Pacers
We’re riding with the Thunder to cover the spread tonight. Oklahoma City has been dominant at home, going 7-1 SU in their last 8. Meanwhile, Indiana is just 2-4 ATS in their last 6 against the Thunder. With the crowd behind them and momentum swinging their way, we like OKC to win big.
Pacers vs Thunder UNDER 224.5
The UNDER is trending hard in this series—and tonight should be no different. The total has gone UNDER in 4 of the Thunder’s last 5 games, and 6 of Indiana’s last 7 games in June. Expect a tight, playoff-style contest where defense sets the tone.
