NBA Finals 2025: Indiana Pacers or Oklahoma City Thunder, who has advantage in Game 6?
The Oklahoma City Thunder, led by season MVP Gilgeous-Alexander, are just one win away from making franchise history as they head into Game 6 of the NBA finals against the Indiana Pacers on June 19. With the series at 3-2, the Thunder can clinch their first NBA Championship since the team's relocation from Seattle in 2008, reported CBS. The NBA 2025 finals will commence at 8.30 pm ET at Gainbridge Fieldhouse; the match will be broadcast live on ABC and streamed on Fubo. The Oklahoma City Thunder claimed momentum with a dominant 120-109 victory in NBA Finals Game 5 and now look to finish the job on the road. NBA MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander continues to deliver elite playoff performances, averaging 30.4 points, 6.5 assists, and 5.4 rebounds. Shai posted a 31-point double-double in NBA Game 5, while teammate Jalen Williams exploded for a playoff-high 40 points, adding six rebounds and four assists. Oklahoma City entered as a 6.5-point favorite, per DraftKings, and have covered the spread in three of the last four games. A win tonight would cap off a remarkable 68-14 regular season and solidify Gilgeous-Alexander's MVP campaign with an NBA Finals crown. Meanwhile, the Indiana Pacers are facing a serious challenge, not just from the Thunder's form, but also from injuries. Their star point guard, Tyrese Haliburton, is listed as questionable with a strained right calf, which he sustained during his underwhelming four-point performance in Game 5. With or without Haliburton, Indiana will require standout performances from Pascal Siakam, who has been consistent in the series, and Myles Turner, who provides strength in the paint. Even with the setbacks, the Pacers have shown toughness throughout the postseason—winning upsets over Milwaukee, Cleveland, and New York. But it's possible that Thursday could be the end of their campaign. Also read: Will Tyrese Haliburton's injury cost Indiana Pacers a much-awaited NBA crown? The Oklahoma City Thunder enters the matchup as clear favorites with a -6.5 spread against the Indiana Pacers. Oddsmakers, according to another report, have set the total points line at 221.5, with predictions leaning toward the under. The Thunder holds a strong position on the moneyline at -250, while the Pacers are the underdogs at +200. Based on current projections, the Thunder are expected to secure a 113–100 victory, maintaining their dominance and comfortably covering the spread. With Haliburton's health in doubt and OKC rolling, all signs point to the Thunder clinching the series 4-2 and lifting the Larry O'Brien Trophy on Indiana's home court. The game starts at Thursday, June 19 at 8:30 pm ET. The match will be held at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, Indianapolis, Indiana. The game will be broadcast on ABC and will also be available via Fubo streaming services. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jalen Williams have been standout contributors throughout the series.

2025 NBA Finals: How Oklahoma City Thunder emerged as title contender
Oklahoma City Thunder will face the Indiana Pacers in Game 6 of the NBA Finals 2025 on June 19. The game will begin at 8:30 pm Eastern Time at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. Oklahoma leads the series 3-2, having won back-to-back games. The team will be hoping to maintain their winning momentum today as well. Oklahoma's performance in the NBA this season owes a lot to their dynamic and well-rounded team, Pro Football Network reported. Under general manager Sam Presti, the franchise has worked to bring together a solid team, focusing on flexibility, draft picks and player development. Now, the side is just one victory away from securing its second NBA title. Oklahoma traded veterans like Paul George and Russell Westbrook to create a younger, more aggressive team. George spent two seasons in Oklahoma, but his partnership with Carmelo Anthony and Russell Westbrook did not yield results as expected. Trading George to the LA Clippers in 2019 gave the franchise Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, the league's current MVP and a terrific two-way player. Trading George to the Clippers allowed Oklahoma City the choice of two pick swaps and five first-round picks. This brought Chet Holmgren and Jalen Williams to the team in 2022 and 2024, respectively. Under coach Mark Daigneault, Oklahoma City is now the league's youngest team, with an average player age of 24.148 years. Also read: NBA Finals Game 6: Oklahoma City Thunder vs Indiana Pacers date, time, where to watch for free, live-streaming and more The Canadian basketball player has turned out to be a huge asset for Oklahoma City. He has averaged 32.7 points per game this season, with 5.0 rebounds and 1.7 steals, as per the NBA. He became the NBA MVP this year, beating Nikola Jokić for the honor. This was the seventh consecutive season that an international player won the MVP award. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has also found support in Holmgren and Williams. The trio of Gilgeous-Alexander, Williams, and Holmgren has been the main reason behind Oklahoma City's resurgence. The upcoming game will be a chance for these players to secure another win for their team. The fixture will be held on June 19 at 8:30 pm ET. They used a strategy of trades and draft picks to create a more dynamic roster of players. The game will be aired on ABC. Fans can also stream the game on Fubo, DirecTV Stream, Hulu + Live TV and Sling Blue.
