The Indiana Pacers and Oklahoma City Thunder are currently tied in the NBA Finals series, 2-2. The two teams will face off again in Game 5 at the Paycom Center in OKC tonight.

In Game 4, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the Thunder with 35 points, and Pascal Siakam had an admirable performance with 20 points and 8 rebounds. OKC had some highly questionable calls going their way in the final 3 minutes of Friday's game.

Offensively, the Pacers are noticeably more accurate when shooting from deep or when making field goal attempts. The Thunder are 9.5-point favorites in Monday's matchup. I wouldn't trust those odds. 

The Pacers' 7–2 road record and 9–3 overall ATS mark in the 2025 playoffs paint a different picture.
