He&#8217;s gone under 20 points in 10 of his past 14 games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Though Williams is listed as the Thunder&#8217;s starting power forward, he isn&#8217;t a typical big man. He&#8217;s 6-foot-5 and spends plenty of time roaming the perimeter, too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>OKC has two 7-footers \u2014 Chet Holmgren and Isaiah Hartenstein \u2014 who are currently playing in a staggered way that ensures a traditional big is always on the floor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In my view, that lowers Williams&#8217; ceiling as a rebounder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Williams is shooting just 37.7% vs. the Pacers in four matchups this year, averaging 18.5 points and 3.8 rebounds (22.3 PR). He&#8217;s hit this under in all four games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I know he&#8217;s likely to be heavily involved, but he hasn&#8217;t shown enough against the Pacers (or in the playoffs as a whole) to warrant this high of a line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Key stat:<\/strong> Williams has averaged 25.8 PR in this postseason and 25.6 PR in 28 career playoff games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Game 3 prop prediction<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Haliburton under 8.5 assists (-150):<\/strong> This line would typically seem a bit low for Haliburton, but the Thunder have had the clamps on him so far this series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 2023-24 assist champ, who averaged 9.2 APG during the regular season, had just six assists apiece in Games 1 and 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In four games against the Thunder overall this season, he has 23 total assists and has gone under this mark all four times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>OKC allowed the fourth-fewest assists per game during the regular season (24.6). They&#8217;ve allowed even fewer APG during the playoffs (21.8).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Haliburton has gone under an 8.5-assist line in eight of his past 12 games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Thunder vs. Pacers prop picks made at 12:47 p.m. ET 06\/10\/2025.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Knotted at one game apiece, the Oklahoma City Thunder and Indiana Pacers resume their NBA Finals matchup on Wednesday night.
