Game 7. Two of the most exciting words in sports!

This is particularly true when the Indiana Pacers and Oklahoma City Thunder square off on Sunday in the final match of the 2025 NBA Finals.

The Pacers were impressive in Game 6, equalizing the series and forcing a decisive Game 7.

For OKC, this is an opportunity to recover from a lackluster performance, but they need their players to rise to the occasion.

Both teams aim to secure their first championship this Sunday.

Key Bets to Consider

Thunder First Quarter

My preferred bet during playoffs is to back a team coming off a loss to cover the first quarter at home. Given that the Thunder have a stellar home performance, this bet appears promising.

They successfully covered the first quarter in all prior home games of this series and have often performed well in quarters following a defeat. They had a rough outing last time with a record low for offensive performance this season, marking a poor shot percentage and significant turnovers.

Based on these factors, I expect the Thunder to kick off strong.

PICK: Thunder (-3.5) first quarter

Player Props for Game 7

Alex Caruso Over 8.5 Points - Caruso saw limited scoring opportunities in Game 6 but has a history of bouncing back in following games.

Jalen Williams Over 9.5 rebounds and assists - Despite a mediocre Game 6, Williams has been consistent prior to that performance, making this a potentially valuable prop.

Obi Toppin Under 10.5 points - While Toppin has shown good form recently, maintaining performance during high-stakes games can be challenging.
