2025 NBA Finals Game 7 Betting Preview: Pacers vs. Thunder

Sunday is the big day. Game 7 of the NBA Finals between the Indiana Pacers and Oklahoma City Thunder goes off. 

For Oklahoma City, a win would mark their first NBA Championship title since their relocation and renaming as the Thunder.  They previously won one championship as the Supersonics while in Seattle. 

The Indiana Pacers have never won an NBA Championship.  They've made it to one final in 2000 where they lost to the LA Lakers. 

The Pacers defeated the Thunder 108-91 in the last matchup on Friday. Obi Toppin led the Pacers with 20 points, and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the Thunder with 21.

The Thunder are 36-6 on their home court. Oklahoma City ranks sixth in the league averaging 14.5 made 3-pointers per game while shooting 37.4% from downtown. Isaiah Joe leads the team averaging 2.6 makes while shooting 41.2% from 3-point range.

The Pacers have gone 21-20 away from home. Indiana has a 22-15 record against opponents over .500.

The Thunder are shooting 48.2% from the field this season, 0.8 percentage points higher than the 47.4% the Pacers allow to opponents. The Pacers average 13.2 made 3-pointers per game this season, 0.3 fewer makes per game than the Thunder give up.

Top performers include Jalen Williams, who is shooting 48.4% and averaging 21.6 points for the Thunder.  He closed with 16 points (6-13 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 4-5 FT), three rebounds and one assist over 27 minutes during Thursday's 108-91 loss to Indiana in Game 6 of the NBA Finals.

Williams comes into this game with a prop bet total Over/Under scoring of 22.5. 

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is averaging 30.9 points over the last 10 games.  He finished with 21 points (7-15 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 7-8 FT), four rebounds and two assists across 31 minutes in Thursday's 108-91 loss against the Pacers.

Tyrese Haliburton is averaging 17.0 points over the last 10 games.  He is questionable for Sunday's game against the Thunder.

Sportsbooks believe he will play and list him with a 15.5 scoring total for Sunday's big game. 

While we do not typically make totals plays in the NBA, we're backing the Under 215 as this one was as high as 223 (Bovada on the 19th) and has mostly trended from 216 to 214.5 despite very lopsided action on the Over. 

Our friends at Pay Per Head provider AcePerHead.com were offering this total at 215, though most sportsbooks had moved to the 214.5.  Their Over action was coming in at 74% for both the tickets written and the amount of money coming in.
