As the NBA Finals intensify, momentum is becoming harder to predict—but more rewarding to capitalize on. Every game is a battle of adjustments, and each possession holds weight. For bettors, now is the time to key in on patterns, team trends, and playoff pressure. With home-court energy surging and stars putting up max effort, we’re focusing on spots with a sharp edge and value backed by stats.
Yesterday, the ball didn’t bounce our way. We went 0 for 2. We missed the cover on Oklahoma City -5.5 as the Pacers came out swinging behind a big 27-point performance from Bennedict Mathurin and a near triple-double from Haliburton. The final was 116-107, giving Indiana a crucial Game 3 win. We also lost on the over at 223, even though both teams showed firepower. It just came up short. That said, we’re turning the page with confidence today.
Today’s Picks:
Indiana Pacers (+6) vs Oklahoma City Thunder
We like the Pacers to cover. OKC is 0-8 against the spread in their last 8 road games. Meanwhile, Indiana has won 6 of their last 8 home games vs OKC outright. That home-court advantage in the playoffs is real—and we’re banking on it again.
Oklahoma City Thunder at Indiana Pacers – Over 227.5
The total has gone over in 4 of the last 6 between these teams, and 6 of OKC’s last 8 Friday games have gone over. These offenses can light it up fast, and with both teams trying to take control of the series, we’re expecting buckets.
