NBA Spread, Over/Under, Prop Picks for NBA Finals Game 2
There’s a neat betting trend active on Sunday’s Indiana-Oklahoma City spread utilizing the tickets and money we collect.
The Oklahoma City Thunder match Action PRO’s “Contrarian Favorites” system. In the NBA Playoffs, teams laying points with low public backing (spread % between 0%–40%) are often undervalued due to contrarian sentiment. Right now, the Thunder are only attracting 38% of the tickets — a direct hit for the model to back OKC to cover the spread
This system targets these situations where the betting market overcorrects against the favorite, creating value on teams expected to win but receiving limited support. By isolating postseason games, where team motivation and consistency are higher, the edge becomes even bigger.
