Prop Bets: Indiana Pacers VS Oklahoma City Thunder 2025-06-22
Humorous Prediction: "Game 7: The Pacers’ Calf-icidal Maniac vs. the Thunder’s Struggling Center"
The NBA Finals’ most thrilling Game 7 features the Indiana Pacers (underdogs at +3.2 on average) trying to pull off an upset against the Oklahoma City Thunder (-7.0 spread, 1.36 implied odds). Let’s break this down with the precision of a tired referee after a 3-hour game:
### Key Props to Bet on (and Why They’re Hilariously Obvious)
1. Tyrese Haliburton Over 20 Points (-120)
The Pacers are a 25-3 team when Haliburton scores 20+ this season, even while nursing a calf strain. If he’s playing with a limp and a smile, you’re betting on a calf-icidal maniac. Take the over.
2. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Over 8.5 Assists (+140)
SGA’s “must-win game” swagger is real. He’s averaging 4.5 assists per game in this series and has the confidence of a guy who just bought a second home in NBA Champion City.
3. Chet Holmgren Under 10 Points (-200)
The Thunder’s “big man” is a 35.3% shooter and a 25% driver in this series. He’s taken under 10 shots in three games—probably because he’s too busy side-eyeing his own draft stock. Fade him like you fade a TikTok trend from 2019.
### Why the Thunder Might Win
- Aaron Wiggins (14/18 points in prior games) is their bench’s emotional support puppy.
- The spread (-7.0) reflects their dominance, but the Pacers’ T.J. McConnell (3.2 rebounds, 4.5 assists) and Aaron Nesmith (49.6% 3PT!) will keep this closer than a TikTok algorithm.
### Why the Pacers Might Win
Because Tyrese Haliburton is a 25-3 magician when he hits 20, and the Thunder’s “star” is a center who’s basically a human-sized airball.
### Final Score Prediction
Oklahoma City Thunder 112, Indiana Pacers 108 (Take the Under 215.0 at -110; these teams will play like they’re in a tax audit—cautious and low-scoring).

Note: If Haliburton scores 20, the Pacers win. If Holmgren scores 10, the Thunder lose. Math checks out.
