The top-seed and overwhelming favorites, the Oklahoma City Thunder, will take on the No. 4 seed in the Eastern Conference, the Indiana Pacers. Thunder-Pacers NBA Finals Preview: What to Know, Key Dates, Prediction The Thunder enter this match as the favorites and by a large margin. Oklahoma City opened as -750 favorites over the Indiana Pacers in the Finals at ESPN BET. The Pacers opened as +525 underdogs. The Thunder have the talent and home-court advantage on their side. As for the Pacers, they have all the momentum, toughness, grit and attitude they need to pull off the impossible. On the basketball side of things, this series is set not to disappoint. The Thunder will look to avoid disappointing their fans, as they are on the verge of history. The Thunder, who won 68 games in the regular season, are four wins away from putting themselves among the likes of the historic 1995-96 Chicago Bulls. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander #2 of the Oklahoma City Thunder poses with teammates after defeating the Minnesota Timberwolves 124-94 in Game Five of the Western Conference Finals of the 2025 NBA Playoffs at Paycom Center on May...

The Thunder went 68-14 in the regular season and with four more wins would reach 84 total wins for the season; the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls, who went 72-10 before cruising through the playoffs, are the only champions in NBA history with more total victories," wrote Zach Krama and Kevin Pelton of ESPN. More NBA news: Best Landing Spots For Timberwolves' Naz Reid Amid Free Agency Rumors The 1995-96 Bulls won 15 games in the playoffs, as was the case before, with the first-round series being a best-of-five series. Ultimately, the Bulls ended that season with 87 wins. As for the Thunder, if they were to collect four more wins, they'd end their historic season with 84 wins, three shy of Michael Jordan's Bulls. Oklahoma City has all the tools to get the job done, led by their MVP, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. The MVP of the league and his team are poised for history. They are coming off a historic regular season led by a young, rising star-studded core and a unique approach to team building. For the second consecutive season, they finished as the No. 1 seed in the loaded Western Conference. The Thunder could go down as one of the best teams to ever win a title. While that may not be the case right off the bat (if they win), in the long run, the statistics and data will support that claim.

Pacers' Tyrese Haliburton rubs it in with ‘I Run New York' video mocking Knicks fans
Tyrese Haliburton appears to be enjoying his victory lap over the Knicks. The Pacers' point guard already clapped back at Ben Stiller Saturday night after his team eliminated the Knicks from the Eastern Conference Finals. Sunday afternoon, Haliburton took it a step further, sharing a 54-second video to 50 Cent's 'I Run New York' of interspersing his highlights from the series with footage of Knicks fans during postgame victory celebrations outside Madison Square Garden. 50 Cent was in attendance for Game 4 of the series in Indianoplis, appearing to support the Pacers Some of the footage also shows Knicks fans throwing garbage bags at Pacers fan Hans Perez, who is wearing a Haliburton jersey. Knicks fans certainly talked the talk over the last month as Seventh Avenue turned into a party after every win. Their team, unfortunately, didn't walk the walk, failing to stop Haliburton and the Pacers for the second straight season. Tyrese Haliburton celebrates after the win against the New York Knicks in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals of the 2025 NBA Playoffs at Gainbridge Fieldhouse on May 31, 2025 in Indianapolis, Indiana. Getty Images ''cers in 6,' Haliburton wrote as the caption, appearing to mock the 'Knicks in six' chant that was prevalent when New York beat the Celtics in six games. While Haliburton has every right to gloat, his focus will need to turn to the NBA Finals soon, as the Pacers are prohibitive underdogs against the Thunder. Tyrese Haliburton warms up prior to Game Six of the Eastern Conference Finals of the 2025 NBA Playoffs against the New York Knicks at Gainbridge Fieldhouse on May 31, 2025 in Indianapolis, Indiana. Getty Images That's nothing new for Indiana, which upset the Cavaliers and Knicks to get this far and which has been underestimated at every turn this postseason. Nevertheless, the 68-win Thunder are a different animal than anything the Pacers have seen in the East, and have operated with ruthless efficiency all postseason. Game 1 of the Finals is Thursday night.
