Thunder vs. Pacers Predictions For NBA Finals Game 4, 6/13

There has perhaps never been a more polarizing player in a series than Tyrese Haliburton. Not only has he sparked superstar vs. not-a-superstar debates, but he’s had such polarizing performances as well.

From absolute duds of single-digit points to triple-doubles, the Pacers truly go as he goes. He was just a rebound shy of another triple-double, and while we’re going to dive deeper into how special Indiana’s bench players were, Haliburton again stepped up. It was even after Indiana started the game with seven turnovers in the first quarter.

As for OKC, history is not on their side - both recent and long-term. In terms of recently, the Thunder have now lost four of their last six road games, and this series remains in Indiana for Game 4. As for NBA Finals history, winners of Game 3 when the series is tied 1-1 have gone on to win it a resounding 80% of the time!

So far, our best bets have hit with Andew Nembhard, Chet Holmgren and Pascal Siakam, so it’s time to break things down to find another spot we love for our Thunder vs. Pacers predictions for Game 4!

 

 

 

Oklahoma City Thunder: Punching Through The Pacers D

Although the Thunder entered these NBA Finals as massive favorites to win the series, this is not the first time they’ve been in this spot before. They were down 2-1 to the Denver Nuggets in that seven-game series win, which makes it even more surprising to learn that the Pacers have actually never trailed in a series this postseason.

Regardless, seeing OKC score 107 points and more than 110 in these NBA Finals is quite surprising. They’re the ones known for their stifling defense, but we even heard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander after the game say that the Pacers defense was a problem. We’re going to need to see MVP SGA for the Thunder to even the series back up.
 

 

 

Indiana Pacers: Bench Bullies The Thunder

As promised - a deeper dive into the Pacers amazing bench play in Game 3. It’s certainly not a hidden storyline, as they’ve been the talk of that game since, well, halfway through it. That’s thanks to the fact that Bennedict Mathurin and TJ McConnell helped Indiana bounce back from those aforementioned seven first-quarter turnovers.

They did so to the tune of 22 points in the second quarter alone, and the Pacers bench scored a total of 49 points in Game 3. With Mathurin scoring 27 himself on 9-of-12 shooting, the Pacers had three 20+ point scorers for the first time in this series. With another home game on deck, they have put themselves in a fantastic position.

 

 

 

Thunder vs. Pacers Odds, Spreads, Total & Betting Lines

While Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and OKC remain on the road, the Thunder vs. Pacers odds for Game 4 still have them as clear favorites:

 

 

 

Thunder vs. Pacers Best Bet: OKC Money Line & SGA 30+ Points (Enjoy Player Projections At PrizePicks Fantasy)

While we stuck with Pascal Siakam for our last Thunder vs. Pacers predictions, we also said that seeing such a big underdog at home in the NBA Finals is quite tempting, and that remains the case. At the same time, we’ve also seen OKC’s prowess for blowouts.

Therefore, we’re going to stick with our tried and true - the player prop markets. Well, kind of, as we’ve got a mini Same Game Parlay for you. We’re anticipating a big bounce-back game from Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, but with oddsmakers expecting the same and not budging his points prop from 34.5 points, we see more value pairing it with a Thunder victory.

This season, OKC is an amazing 17-2 following a loss. We’ve already seen it in this series already when they bounced back from Game 1. Not only did they do so with a victory, but it was also in extremely convincing fashion; even the 123-107 final score doesn't do it justice.

You can keep your Thunder vs. Pacers picks simple and just take the point spread, but we also expect SGA to have a vintage performance. We’re able to use the word vintage this early in his career, as he just had 49 games of 30+ points this season alone! That was heading into the playoffs, and he’s had 13 throughout this postseason!

 It also doesn’t hurt to throw out the reminder that SGA averaged 39 points per game against Indiana in the regular season AND has averaged over 30 points per game this postseason. After all, he’s the NBA MVP for a reason.

With all of the above in mind, we’re making the best bet from our Thunder vs. Pacers predictions the combination of the OKC money line and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander to have 30+ points (target more player picks at PrizePicks Fantasy).
