NBA Predictions & Preview For Thursday, June 19th (NBA Finals Game 6)

Oklahoma City Thunder vs Indiana Pacers

Start Time – 8:30 PM EST

My lack of faith in the Oklahoma City Thunder bit me again in Game 5, as I predicted they would win, but I didn’t think they’d cover the spread. So I’ve hit exactly one bet over the first five games of the Finals. But I’m going to end the series with a winning play.

Because tomorrow is going to be the last game of this series. The best team in the NBA all season, the Oklahoma City Thunder, got their groove back, with their three top players, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Jalen Williams, and Chet Holmgren, all excelling. And the Thunder’s supporting players are the best in the league.

I guess I’m burying the lede here – the main reason OKC will probably hoist ol’ Larry tomorrow night for the first time in franchise history is because Indiana Pacers’ star Tyrese Haliburton has an injured leg, which left him a non-factor in Game 5. If Haliburton isn’t in top form, the Pacers have no chance.

Not only do the Thunder win tomorrow night, but they cover the 6.5-point spread, which they have in all three of their wins this series.

Best Bet: Oklahoma City -6.5 (-105)

Overall Record: 196-166 (54%)
Profit (based on $100/bet): $1,305.59
