Thunder vs Pacers Prediction, Picks and Odds For NBA Finals Game 6

Well, here we are – Game 6. After the Oklahoma City Thunder turned the Pacers’ offense into a shipwreck by causing 22 turnovers, things aren’t looking good for Indiana. Even on the road, the NBA Finals odds still back Oklahoma City to close it out – and I like their chances too.

If you’re ready to bet on the NBA and actually make some money, Thursday night’s your shot. Let’s break down my top picks for Game 6.

Thunder vs Pacers Prediction

Game 5 had “beatdown” written all over it – and the Thunder delivered. They did what they’ve done all year: pressure the ball and clog passing lanes. Now with Pacers PG Tyrese Haliburton questionable (per updated Thunder vs Pacers injuries), things couldn’t look darker for Indiana. Home crowd or not, the damage is done. Between Haliburton’s status and the Pacers’ turnover issues, I’ve got Oklahoma City cruising. The verdict? Thunder cover the NBA betting lines and win.

Score Prediction: Thunder 118, Pacers 110

Thunder vs Pacers Best NBA Player Props Today

• Bennedict Mathurin Over 10.5 Points (-110)

With Haliburton’s status up in the air, the Pacers need a spark offensively – and that’s where SG Bennedict Mathurin comes in. Look, he already has the green light when the ball’s in his hands, but after scoring just 15 total points over the last two games, he’ll need to snap the slump. Don’t forget, he’s already hit this mark twice in the series. With their season on the line, I see Mathurin stepping up big.

• Chet Holmgren Over 8.5 Rebounds (-146)

The Thunder have had the edge on the glass all series, and that’s mostly thanks to PF Chet Holmgren. That being said, I like the lanky big man to snag over 8.5 boards tonight. The Pacers have struggled with rebounding all season, and in these NBA games, Holmgren’s been a problem. With back-to-back double-digit rebound outings, I don’t see Indiana stopping him from making it three straight.

• T.J. McConnell Over 10.5 Points (-121)

Facing elimination and hurting in the backcourt with Haliburton’s injury, the Pacers need all the juice they can get – and who better than PG T.J. McConnell to chip in? You can’t be surprised to see him in my NBA picks again. We’ve cashed his points prop four games in a row, and with Indiana’s season on the brink, I like McConnell to score over 10.5 points and help keep the Pacers alive.

• Thunder vs Pacers Moneyline Pick

The Pacers have their backs to the wall – and it’s only getting worse. Their starting point guard is banged up per latest NBA news, and they still haven’t figured out how to take care of the ball. Meanwhile, the Thunder are healthy, locked in and killing it on defense. This feels like an alley-oop of a chance for Oklahoma City to keep the pressure on and bury Indiana. Take the Thunder on the moneyline.

Thunder vs Pacers Spread Pick

For most of this series, I backed Indiana with the points – but Game 5 was the turning point. The Pacers still have no clue how to limit turnovers against this Thunder defense, and now their starting point guard’s questionable. With Oklahoma City playing their best ball the last few games, I’m confident they can build and hold a lead big enough to cover the 6.5 points. Bet Oklahoma City on the NBA spread.

Thunder vs Pacers Over/Under Pick

With Haliburton banged up and the Thunder locking in defensively, you’d expect me to lean under, but I like the over. Even with the Pacers’ turnovers, those mistakes turn into points for the Thunder, fueling the total. Back home and one loss from booking summer plans, Indiana will come out swinging offensively to stay alive. And the Thunder? They’ll get theirs, on offense or off mistakes. Having said that, bet online and take the over.
