The NBA Finals are set to continue on Friday following the Indiana Pacers’ impressive 116-107 victory against the Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 3, putting them ahead in the series 2-1, much to everyone’s surprise.

Oklahoma City now has a chance to level the series, and they’ll need key players to rise to the occasion after their last showing.

In light of this success, there are three betting options that appear promising:

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander: Over 6.5 Assists

Considering the Thunder’s struggle with ball distribution in Game 3, they are likely to generate more assists in the upcoming Game 4. In their previous match, Oklahoma City attained 107 points from only 16 assists, which is inadequate for an NBA Finals game.

The Thunder’s typical success seems linked to how well they share the ball. In their victory during Game 2, they recorded 25 assists compared to 40 made attempts.

When it comes to facilitating plays, SGA plays a crucial role as the primary ball handler, often drawing defensive pressure from multiple Pacers players, which can initiate passing opportunities.

PICK: Over 6.5 assists for SGA

Myles Turner: Over 13.5 Points

Turner is poised for a comeback after scoring just nine points in Game 3, a stark contrast to his previous tallies of 15 and 16 in the earlier games.

Turner’s shooting faced challenges, with a disappointing 27%. He will need to recover if he wants to exceed this points line.

PICK: Over 13.5 points for Myles Turner

Pascal Siakam: Under 7.5 Rebounds

Siakam’s recent performance has not justified maintaining a rebound total this high, as he has only surpassed seven rebounds in four postseason appearances.

The last few games reflected a trend of declining rebounds for Siakam, with numbers of ten, then seven, and dropping to six. This trend is expected to continue.

PICK: Under 7.5 rebounds for Pascal Siakam
