Pacers vs. Thunder – NBA Finals Game 7 Preview, Prediction and Player Props
Odds: Oklahoma City -7.0 | Total: 215.5
Oklahoma City Thunder: All Eyes on the Finish Line
The Oklahoma City Thunder have clawed their way to the biggest stage imaginable: Game 7 of the NBA Finals. It’s been a rollercoaster series, but Sunday offers a clean slate, a shot at the franchise’s first title since 1979 (when they were still the Seattle SuperSonics).
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, the newly crowned MVP, had a rare off-night in Game 6, coughing up a playoff-worst eight turnovers. But history favors OKC, they’re 10-2 at home this postseason, haven’t lost back-to-back games in the playoffs, and haven’t been outdone in turnovers at home. That’s a trend worth betting on.
Game 7s are made for legends, and Gilgeous-Alexander and Jalen Williams will look to cement theirs on Sunday. With the energy at Paycom Center and Game 7 home teams historically going 15-4, the Thunder are poised to deliver.
Thunder Player Props:
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Over 28.5 Points – Expect a statement night after his Game 6 flop.
Jalen Williams Over 5.5 Assists – Williams’ playmaking becomes crucial as the defense focuses on SGA.
Indiana Pacers: Road Dogs with a Title Dream
The Pacers are writing one of the NBA’s most improbable playoff runs. With their 108-91 statement win in Game 6, Indiana tied the series and now aims to grab their first-ever NBA championship. It’s been over 50 years since their last ABA title and the franchise is desperate to make history.
Tyrese Haliburton, battling through a calf injury, returned in Game 6 to deliver 14 points and five assists. The Pacers thrived on ball security, winning the turnover battle by +10, a major swing in momentum. If they repeat that on the road, they’ve got a shot.
Indiana hasn’t played a Game 7 this postseason, but last year’s road win over the Knicks in a Game 7 proves they can handle pressure. Still, they’ll need near-perfect execution to pull off the upset in a building where OKC rarely loses.
Pacers Player Props:
Tyrese Haliburton Over 7.5 Assists – Even on a sore calf, he’s their primary facilitator.
Pascal Siakam Over 20.5 Points – The veteran forward should carry a heavier scoring load with defenses keyed on Haliburton.
Game 7 Prediction and Final Score
This Game 7 has all the makings of a classic. OKC’s youth, speed, and home-court edge might just be the difference. But never count out a Rick Carlisle-coached team in a winner-take-all.
Spread: Thunder -7.0
Toral: Under 215.5
Final Score Prediction: Oklahoma City 110, Indiana 102
