The Indiana Pacers have had a spectacular Cinderella run to the NBA Finals. But it will viciously crash to a halt at the hands of the Oklahoma City Thunder. The NBA betting odds have OKC as wide favorites both via the series price and to win Game 1. We don’t underestimate Indiana since it has pulled off numerous upsets to get here. But the Thunder are bad stylistic matchups and it will show.

Pacers vs Thunder Prediction
Expect a high-scoring and fun series for as long as it lasts. Game 1 will be all Oklahoma City and Indiana will be hard-pressed to slow down the home team. The Thunder put up nearly 122 points at home, which is also mainly why 55.7% of their home games go over the total. The lofty NBA playoffs odds are accurate for this one.
Thunder 124, Pacers 109

Pacers G Tyrese Haliburton Under 31.5 Pts+Reb+Ast (-108)
Tyrese Haliburton is riding high off Indiana’s win over New York. But he’s about to get shut down hard against the Thunder. Indiana beat a gassed Knicks squad that struggled to keep up. The Thunder will be the ones pushing the pace, so we can see Hali, who has been held to some stinkers at least twice in each series, go under his combo props.
-
Thunder G Cason Wallace Over 6.5 Points (-124)
While we fade Haliburton, we’re all in on the Thunder’s role players. It starts with bench stud Cason Wallace, who should easily clear his points prop. Wallace is mainly a defender but has averaged 7.3 points in his last seven appearances with at least 20 minutes. With a blowout likely, Wallace is our NBA expert pick to go over.

Thunder G Luguentz Dort 1+ Blocks (+125)
Luguentz Dort will be the main reason why the Thunder will neutralize the Pacers. The Canadian not only made his first All-NBA Defensive Team but can also guard every Indiana star. He’s likely to get at least one blocked shot, and the plus money on the NBA Finals betting lines makes this prop worth adding.

Pacers vs Thunder ATS Pick
If betting the Thunder straight-up is too rich for your blood, bet them against the spread (ATS). Oklahoma City also leads the league with a 70.8% cover rate (34-14-2) as a home favorite and is 11-5 ATS in its last 16 games when favored by nine or more points. The team is also healthy per the NBA’s latest news. OKC dominates. Don’t think twice.
