OKC is a 6.5-point favourite to win on the road, where it is a mediocre 5-4 this postseason. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out my Thunder vs. Pacers SGP predictions for Game 6 on June 19, featuring <a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/news\/stats\/nba\/players\/pascal_siakam\">Pascal Siakam<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/news\/stats\/nba\/players\/isaiah_hartenstein\">Isaiah Hartenstein<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Thunder vs. Pacers predictions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Parlay: Thunder -2.5 | Siakam 20+ points | Hartenstein 6+ rebounds (+285)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong>Thunder -2.5<\/strong> (-315):<\/strong> No one predicted Indiana would be in the NBA Finals, as it held 100-to-1 odds to win the title just after the trade deadline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s been a great run for the Pacers, but I think it comes to an end tonight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Thunder looked human to start this series but have found their groove, winning three of the last four against the Pacers while holding them to a measly 109.0 points per game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I can&#8217;t picture Indiana keeping up with OKC if Haliburton is effectively playing on one leg \u2014 assuming he even suits up at all. The point guard went 0-for-6 from the field in Game 5 and has been instrumental in authoring several comebacks this postseason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>OKC is 37-12 straight up on the road this year (second-best win percentage in the NBA behind the Boston Celtics).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"cacheembed:114977\">Embed: #114977<\/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><strong><strong>Siakam 20+ points<\/strong><\/strong> <\/strong><\/strong>(-162):<\/strong> If the Pacers can somehow mount a comeback this series, it will be through Siakam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The power forward is averaging a team-high 20.6 points and 7.4 rebounds and is coming off his best outing of the series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>28 points (9-of-15 shooting)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>6 rebounds<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>5 assists<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>He&#8217;s been great at initiating contact in this series and converting on those chances, making 6.0 free throws on 7.4 attempts per night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Siakam has reached this milestone in four straight home playoff games, averaging 25.5 PPG in those contests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Hartenstein 6+ rebounds (-215):<\/strong> Hartenstein has been relegated to a secondary role on a Thunder team loaded with depth, but that&#8217;s fine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 7-foot, 250-pound centre is the most physically imposing player when he&#8217;s on the court.
