The Pacers erased a 15-point deficit to win on a last-second shot by Tyrese Haliburton, but have been massively outplayed for the majority of this series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>OKC has led for 91:22 out of a possible 96 minutes this series.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The Thunder&#8217;s largest lead was 23 points, while the Pacers&#8217; largest lead was three points.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Mark Daigneault&#8217;s squad has a higher net rating, true shooting percentage, rebounding rate and assist rate through two games, per NBA.com.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>None of this should come as a surprise after OKC authored one of the most dominant seasons of all time. It ranked second in net rating to the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Thunder are 36-11 on the road through the regular season and playoffs, which is the highest win percentage of any team. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"cacheembed:114724\">Embed: #114724<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/sports-hub\/basketball\/nba?utm_source=insights&amp;utm_medium=text_link&amp;utm_term=&amp;utm_content=&amp;utm_campaign=sportsbook_nba\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Full NBA betting markets<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/news\/article\/nba-injury-report?utm_source=insights&amp;utm_medium=text_link&amp;utm_term=&amp;utm_content=&amp;utm_campaign=injury_reports\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>NBA injury report<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/news\/stats\/nba\/top-players?utm_source=insights&amp;utm_medium=text_link&amp;utm_term=&amp;utm_content=&amp;utm_campaign=stats_pages\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>NBA stats &amp; standings<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">NBA SGP legs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong><strong>Holmgren 8+ rebounds <\/strong><\/strong>(-143):<\/strong> Holmgren has fallen short of this line in both games, and in all five against the Minnesota Timberwolves, but I like his chances of stepping up tonight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The lanky power forward leads the Thunder in rebounding this postseason (8.3\/game), and was 9-6 against this line before the NBA Finals. He landed on exactly seven rebounds three times vs. Minnesota.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Indiana&#8217;s biggest weakness this postseason has been cleaning the glass. The squad ranks 11th out of 16 playoff teams in rebounding rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Holmgren has the size to contend for boards, and will get plenty of run as long as this isn&#8217;t a complete blowout. And while I expect OKC to win, I can see this being within 10 points heading into the fourth quarter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Nembhard 10+ points (-190):<\/strong> Nembhard isn&#8217;t the first or second option on the Pacers, but he&#8217;s turned into a money No. 3 \u2014 and that&#8217;s exactly what a team needs to go deep in the playoffs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Canadian is averaging 12.8 points per game on 45.7% shooting from deep. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He&#8217;s reached this milestone in both games this series and all four games against the Thunder, dating back to the regular season. In those contests, he&#8217;s averaging 16.0 PPG.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Thunder vs. Pacers predictions made at 10:30 a.m. ET 06\/11\/2025.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The NBA Finals shift to Indianapolis tied at one game apiece.
