The Oklahoma City Thunder took control of the NBA Finals at home in Game 5 – with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Co defeating the Indiana Pacers 120-109.<\/p>\n

As a result –\u00a0Mark Daigneault’s side have taken a 3-2 series and are just one win away from winning the franchise’s first NBA Championship in 46 years when they were previously the Seattle Supersonics.<\/p>\n

At the time of writing – Oklahoma City are massive favourites with Sky Bet at 1\/16<\/a> to be crowned NBA champions.<\/p>\n

\"Indiana <\/p>\n

Indiana Pacers are 9\/1 underdogs to overturn the 3-2 series deficit and win their first NBA title<\/p>\n

Conversely, Indiana Pacers are sizeable underdogs at 9\/1<\/a> to win Game 6 and Game 7 to claim the NBA title.<\/p>\n

In addition to the head-to-head odds – there are two Price Boosts <\/a>on offer for the remaining two games of the NBA Finals.<\/p>\n

They include OKC Thunder to win 4-2 at 4\/9<\/a>, and Jalen Williams to win NBA Finals MVP at 8\/1<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Thunder are odds-on favourite at 4\/9<\/a> to come away with the win in enemy territory, while Williams has averaged 25.8 points per game in the NBA Finals through five games – of which includes a 40-point performance in Game 5.<\/p>\n
