NBA Predictions & Preview For Friday, June 13th (NBA Finals Game 4)

These NBA Finals have not been kind to me and my bankroll. Three games down, three whiffs on my best bets. If the Oklahoma City Thunder weren’t so good to me up to this point, I’d hold a grudge. Here are your NBA predictions and preview for Friday, June 13th.

NBA Predictions & Preview For Friday, June 13th (NBA Finals Game 4)

Oklahoma City Thunder vs Indiana Pacers

Start Time – 8:30 PM EST

Are the Indiana Pacers really going to pull this off?! They’ve already won one (or two) more games than I expected them to against the Oklahoma City Thunder in the NBA Finals, and are now halfway there to securing their first Larry O’Brien Championship Trophy.

Yet, the oddsmakers and the bettors still aren’t on board. The Thunder, despite being down 2-1 and having lost their home court advantage, are still listed as a -230 favorite to win the championship. And they are once again a 5.5-point favorite for Game 4 in Indianapolis, the same as they were for Game 3, a game in which they ended up losing by nine points.

And count me as one of those people not on board with the Pacers either. Tentatively. While the Pacers wore down the Thunder in Game 4, I still think that Oklahoma City is the superior team. They just have to put together four good quarters instead of three. I’ll put my faith in OKC at least one more time.

Best Bet: Oklahoma City -5.5 (-120)

Overall Record: 195-165 (54%)
Profit (based on $100/bet): $1,322.26
