BetMGM Bonus Code WIREBG150: Bet $10 on Pacers-Thunder Game 5, Get $150 Bonus if You Win
BetMGM Bonus Code WIREBG150: Bet $10 on Pacers-Thunder Game 5, Get $150 Bonus if You Win Trying to make sense of what will happen in tonight's Game 5 of the NBA Finals might prove an effort in futility. But betting on Game 5 with the exclusive BetMGM bonus code WIREBG150 makes all sorts of sense because it delivers $150 in bonus bets to anyone who makes a successful first bet of $10 or more on this game - or any other market. The BetMGM bonus code WIREBG150 is available to bettors in Colorado, Michigan, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and West Virginia. Bettors in the other states where BetMGM operates can use the BetMGM bonus code SBWIRE to claim a first-bet offer that pays back losing opening wagers with up to $1,500 in bonus bets. You can't go wrong with either, as they stand out as two of the best sportsbook promos in the industry. The Thunder and Pacers have each taken turns looking like the better team in this series. But that dominance has proven to be short termed, with each of the teams blowing big leads throughout the first four games. Oklahoma City rallied from a 10-point fourth quarter deficit to win Game 4 on Friday night. OKC rode the back of NBA MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who scored 15 of his team's final 16 points in the 111-104 victory. SGA finished with 35 points, eclipsing the 30-point mark for the third time in four Finals games. Will he do it again tonight? He's -450 in the player points odds at BetMGM.

Best Bets with BetMGM Bonus Code: Monday, June 16 MLB: Phillies at Marlins, 6:40 p.m. ET Phillies at Marlins, 6:40 p.m. ET NBA: Pacers at Thunder, 8:30 p.m. Pacers at Thunder, 8:30 p.m. MLB: Red Sox at Mariners, 9:40 p.m. Red Sox at Mariners, 9:40 p.m. CONCACAF Gold Cup: Jamaica vs Guatemala, 10 p.m. Jamaica vs Guatemala, 10 p.m. MLB: Padres at Dodgers, 10:10 p.m. The Philles look to gain some ground on the Mets in the NL East standings as they send rookie Mick Abel (1-0, 2.35 ERA) to the mound against former Cy Young winner Sandy Alcantara (3-7, 7.14 ERA), who has struggled badly since missing all of last season while recovering from Tommy John surgery. Alcantara is expected to be one of the biggest names available at the July 31 trade deadline but he needs to start pitching better if the Marlins are going to get anywhere near value. Speaking of trades, the Red Sox are in Seattle tonight – a day after they stunned the baseball world by trading one of baseball's best players, Rafael Devers, to the Giants for what appears to be an uninspiring return. Boston, which just swept the Yankees at Fenway to move over .500 (37-36), sends Lucas Giolito (2-1, 5.45 ERA) to the mound against Logan Gilbert (1-1, 2.37 ERA). The Red Sox open a three-game series in San Francisco against Devers and the Giants on Friday.

Nicki Minaj reunites with Lil Wayne on Banned From NO remix packed with NBA bars and sharp disses
Nicki Minaj teams up once again with Lil Wayne on the fiery remix of 'Banned From NO,' reuniting the iconic Young Money duo for the first time in nearly two years. Released at midnight on June 11, the surprise collaboration arrives just days after Tha Carter VI dropped—an album that sparked speculation about a Minaj feature, which ultimately didn't appear. Though her absence from the album disappointed some fans, Minaj makes a commanding return here, kicking off the track with a confident chorus laced with clever NBA-themed punchlines. She name-drops teams like the Indiana Pacers, New York Knicks, and Los Angeles Lakers, delivering rapid-fire bars with her signature wit and aggression. She doesn't hold back on the disses either. Taking aim at media personality Shannon Sharpe, Minaj raps: 'If I send a pic of Shannon you ain't that Sharpe / 'Cause you still can't spell Prague and that's horrible.' The jab combines her knack for punchy wordplay with a sharp personal dig. Elsewhere, Minaj calls out the NFL's history of overlooking Lil Wayne for high-profile performances, despite his deep New Orleans roots: 'NFL, fire some n—as and then call us.' In a moment of homage, she reworks one of Wayne's most iconic lines: 'Weezy F Baby and the F is for Phenomenal,' reinforcing the duo's enduring creative bond. 'Banned From NO (Remix)' marks their first collaboration since 'RNB' off Pink Friday 2 (2023) and arrives as Minaj reportedly begins work on Pink Friday 3. With renewed chemistry and lyrical precision, the track marks a powerful return for two of hip-hop's most legendary voices. The remix is now available for streaming.
