OKC Thunder vs Indiana Pacers betting tips

The OKC Thunder have been heavily reliant on Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s offense in the series. As the Pacers continue to play him in single coverage, he is expected to breach the 30-point mark once more in Game 3.

Meanwhile, Alex Caruso has been the team’s defensive dynamo throughout the playoffs. His active hands are stunting the offense for the Pacers. Bet on him to go over two steals per game in Game 3 as he is expected to get more minutes in a road game, considering he is a former NBA champion and one of the team’s veteran players.

Aaron Wiggins, who hit five threes in Game 2, is also a marked man in the Pacers’ game plan. It is safe to say that the Indiana Pacers will be running him off the three-point range. With such adjustments, you can bet on him to get at least two free throws in the game.

On the other hand, Tyrese Haliburton has yet to be an explosive scorer in the series. Game 3 could be the time he would make a signature performance. It is expected of him to go over 20 points in the game.

OKC Thunder vs Indiana Pacers prediction

Going by what Game 2 has shown, the Thunder has regained the momentum in the series. We are predicting that the Thunder will win Game 3, continuing their defensive masterclass on the Pacers to go up 2-1 in the Finals series.
