Pacers vs. Thunder: Game 6 Best Bets

We’ve favored home-court advantage for our spread picks throughout the Finals, and there’s no reason to shift that strategy now. The Thunder have a 10-2 home record in the postseason with a +247 point differential but are less effective on the road with a 5-4 record and a -50 differential. It’s conceivable they might not win in a blowout, even if they capture the championship on Thursday. Prediction: Pacers +6.5.

Concerning the game’s total points, if the series can hit the overs even when Haliburton isn’t scoring, it’s likely to do so in other matchups leading up to a Game 7. All games in this series thus far have surpassed 215 points, maintaining a high pace.

New Betting Picks:

• Under 15.5 points for Tyrese Haliburton

“I hate to do this, but Game 5 gives me no choice. Haliburton appears to be hindered, and even when healthy, he does not frequently drive into the paint.”
