The NBA Finals have lived up to the hype. The Indiana Pacers have continued to defy expectations and are once again leading 2-1 in a series where they were seen as underdogs for the third straight round.
The Thunder will look to tie the series in Game 4 against the Pacers on June 12 as they will enter once again as the favored team. Will the Pacers repeat their Game 3 heroics to make the mockery of the odds? Check the best Same Game Parlay based on BetMGM.
NBA Same Game Parlay: SGP for Pacers vs Thunder Game 4
Spread: Thunder Over 115.5 points (-118 straight)
The Thunder scored just 107 points in Game 3 while they had scored 111 in Game 1, going “Under” the projected score in two cases. The Thunder scored 123 in Game 2, going “Over” just once this series.
As per the trends, betting on the “Over” can be considered risky, but I see OKC turning it around with a 115+ points night.
Points: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Over 33.5 (-118 Straight)
SGA was held to just 24 points in Game 3. Normally, 24 points would be a terrific night for most players, but not for SGA, who is averaging 30.1 PPG in the postseason. Before Game 3, he had scored 34 or more in four straight playoff games. I expect him to go “over” here after a minor setback.
Points: Tyrese Haliburton Under 18.5 Points (-125 Straight)
The Pacers’ PG scored 22 points in Game 3. He had 17 in Game 2 and just 14 in Game 1. But he has scored 20 or more in four straight homes now. I expect the Thunder defense to curb that scoring streak in Game 4.
NBA SGP: Thunder O 115.5 points, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander O 33.5 points, and Tyrese Haliburton U 18.5 points for +320 at BetMGM
Why This NBA Same Game Parlay- Conclusion
The Pacers are in tremendous shape right now; they are up 2-1 and have a crucial Game 4 at their home. They have been able to take care of the business on both ends. However, the Thunder has the bite to bounce back.
My parlay picks are based upon the belief that OKC has a big offensive night in them and they will clip the wings of the Pacers, at least for now.
