Oklahoma City Thunder vs. Indiana Pacers: Predictions, picks, odds for NBA Finals Game 3
Oklahoma City Thunder vs. Indiana Pacers: Predictions, picks, odds for NBA Finals Game 3 Show Caption Hide Caption Have Thunder proven to be superior to Pacers despite 1-1 tie in NBA Finals? USA TODAY Sports' Jeff Zillgitt breaks down the mentality of both the the Pacers and Thunder as the tied series heads back to Indy for Game 3 and 4. Sports Pulse The 2025 NBA Finals continue as the Oklahoma City Thunder travel to Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis to face the Indiana Pacers in a crucial Game 3 on Wednesday. The series is currently tied 1-1. The Thunder bounced back to win Game 2, evening the series with a decisive 123-107 victory at the Paycom Center in Oklahoma City. NBA MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander stood out, scoring 34 points while also contributing five rebounds and eight assists. Alex Caruso, with his 20 points off the bench, played a crucial role in the much-needed win that tied the series. Now the Finals are back in Indianapolis for the first time in 25 years. Here's what to know ahead of Game 3: More: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander isn't the only Canadian thriving on NBA Finals stage NBA Finals picks: Thunder vs. Pacers Game 3 predictions USA TODAY: Every expert picks the Thunder All of the NBA experts at USA TODAY Sports picked the Oklahoma City Thunder to beat the Indiana Pacers in the 2025 NBA Finals Scooby Axson: Thunder in five Thunder in five Jordan Mendoza: Thunder in six Thunder in six Lorenzo Reyes: Thunder in six Thunder in six James Williams: Thunder in six Thunder in six Jeff Zillgitt: Thunder in five CBS Sports: Thunder 113, Pacers 110 Eric Cohen writes: "(Tyrese) Haliburton has only registered 12 assists against the Thunder in this series but before that, he had 10+ in 9 of the team's first 16 playoff games. At +265, that's an incredible value that I can't pass up. (T.J.) McConnell continues to be a spark plug off the bench for Indiana and has registered 14 and 20 PRA in this series despite playing less than 20 minutes per game. I wouldn't be surprised if Gilgeous-Alexander hit a game winner with close to no time left on the clock as Haliburton did in Game 1. After watching the domination in Game 2, I'm confident that Oklahoma City wins this series in six games." Fox Sports: Thunder 119, Pacers 110 "The Thunder have gone 7-3 over their last 10 contests, with a 5-5 record against the spread during that span. Oklahoma City and its opponents have combined to score an average of 220.7 points in its last 10 games, 7.3 less than the 228 over/under in this matchup." Thunder vs. Pacers NBA Finals Game 3 odds The Oklahoma City Thunder are favorites to take Game 3 over the Indiana Pacers, according to BetMGM (odds as of Tuesday, June 10): Spread : Thunder (-5.5) : Thunder (-5.5) Moneyline : Thunder (-220); Pacers (+180) : Thunder (-220); Pacers (+180) Over/under: 228.5 NBA Finals 2025: Schedule, time, TV channel, live streaming Series tied 1-1.
