Indiana vs Oklahoma City
Relentless Thunder storm aims to drown Pacers' playoff hopes

Pacers (50-32) VS Thunder (68-14)
22 Jun 2025 | 8:00 PM ET | Paycom Center, Oklahoma City, OK

Oklahoma City return home with as the favourites to win the NBA Championship in this Game 7 matchup. Indiana comes into this Finals matchup having convincingly forced Game 7. The Thunder’s defence has proven tough on ball-dominant guards, and the interior presence they bring has routinely disrupted opposing slashers. Indiana’s offensive rhythm has lagged in recent outings, and the continued absence of key floor spacers further compounds their struggles. With the Thunder pushing for a commanding series lead, the -278 moneyline may not offer huge value, but it remains a reliable bet thanks to clear matchup edges and superior form.
The price isn’t ideal, but sometimes the better team at home is worth backing even when the odds lean heavily in their favour. Oklahoma City’s two-way balance and consistent energy on both ends make it hard to see them slipping here. Indiana hasn’t found an answer defensively or from three-point range, and that’s unlikely to change without some significant in-series adjustments. The Thunder are simply playing at a higher level right now, and that justifies taking the pick on the moneyline.

With both Oklahoma City and Indiana firing offensively, Sunday's matchup sets up as a high-octane affair. The Thunder are chasing a milestone win total, riding strong home production at nearly 118 points per game, while Indiana’s up-tempo style continues to create transition looks and frequent possessions. Their previous clash earlier this season soared past 240 total points, and little has changed in terms of offensive aggression or defensive resistance. With both rotations mostly healthy—only a questionable tag for Indiana’s floor spacer clouds the outlook—this profiles as another scoring showcase. The total sits at 215, a threshold these teams are well-positioned to surpass given their playoff intensity and elite guard play.
Neither team leans on low-post defence, and with both relying heavily on pick-and-rolls and downhill attacks, this game has every reason to accelerate. The key is the expected pace: Indiana likes to run, and Oklahoma City isn’t far behind when fully engaged. Starters should log big minutes with playoff seeding on the line, and that continuity only helps the scoring flow. Taking the over looks like the right pick.

With the championship on the line in Game 7, Indiana enters Sunday's clash at Paycom Center sensing a real opportunity. Oklahoma City may have home-court advantage, but uncertainty around their lead guard’s ankle and limited minutes for their primary big man narrow the gap. Indiana, meanwhile, looks healthier and continues to dominate the offensive glass, ranking top-three in second-chance opportunities over their last ten outings. That physical edge looms large in a Finals setting where every possession counts. The Pacers’ postseason urgency, combined with a Thunder squad already forced into rotational tweaks, gives real betting value to the +7 spread.
This isn't a throwaway game—it’s everything. And when that’s the case, you want the team still surging with purpose and playing a more complete rotation. Indiana checks those boxes. If Oklahoma City’s star sits or is limited, this line feels a point or two too wide. Indiana may not pull the upset, but they’ve got the tools to keep it close late.
