Thunder games in this series and all playoffs have swung in a huge way at home compared to on the road.

The Thunder are 10-2 at home, and led big in those two losses at the buzzer. Their lowest win in that sample came by 7 points, with all but one coming by double digits and half of them by 26+ points.

Oklahoma City’s average margin in the playoffs is +21 at home vs -7 on the road.

The home team 15-4 in Game 7 of the NBA Finals, and the home-road split checks out for OKC.

Such a young team has played demonstrably better at home, and it’s especially important for the defensive energy and the whistle; core to OKC’s identity.

The most reliable prediction in this game is the Thunder playing with more defensive intensity and flipping the possessions game back in its direction with turnovers and offensive rebounds.

Even if the half court offenses stall both ways, that math swing on possessions should be enough.

Usually don’t get blowouts in Game 7 of the Finals, but over 1/3 of OKC’s wins came by 18+ points this season, and 10 wins by 30+ including playoffs.

Nibble some alternate lines in case OKC blows it open with a couple turnover-fueled runs.

Pick: Thunder -7.5 (-106) / -19.5 (+500) / -29.5 (+1400)

There may be better alternate lines available in the team total department based on history of Pacers TT unders.

No team has scored 100 points in Game 7 of the NBA Finals since 1988, with these games usually grinding it out.

The Thunder held each previous playoff opponent to less than 100 points twice and less than 90 once.

The Pacers 7-3-1 to TT under as road underdogs in these playoffs. Thunder opponents are 10-1-1 to their TT under.

Great way to invest in the Game 7 Under + OKC defense, especially since Indy could possibly win and still hit the TT unders.

Pick: Pacers Team Total Under 95.5 (+340) / Under 90.5 (+650)

[gameheader haspick=”true” picktext=”Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Game 7 Assists Leader (+265)” league=”nba” awaylogo=”https://static.sprtactn.co/teamlogos/nba/100/ind.png” awayname=”Indiana Pacers” awayslug=”indiana-pacers” homelogo=”https://static.sprtactn.co/teamlogos/nba/100/okc.png” homename=”Oklahoma City Thunder” homeslug=”oklahoma-city-thunder” date=”Sunday, June 22″ time=”8 p.m. ET” network=”ABC” bookname=”Fanatics Sportsbook” bookprimarylogo=”https://assets.actionnetwork.com/542724_Fanatics-banner-logo.png” bookreviewslug=”fanatics-sportsbook”][/gameheader]

I am ready to get hurt again.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander assists have been a nightmare this series, but align in a huge way with Thunder wins.

He’s been the assists leader in the two good OKC wins with 8 and 10, compared to recording 5-4-2 in their losses.

Our fade Hali assists play has crushed this round, only one game over 7 and 4/6 at 6 or below.

You should definitely only play this if you like OKC.

Pick: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Game 7 Assists Leader (+265)

[gameheader haspick=”true” picktext=”T.J. McConnell Game 7 Steals Leader (+250)” league=”nba” awaylogo=”https://static.sprtactn.co/teamlogos/nba/100/ind.png” awayname=”Indiana Pacers” awayslug=”indiana-pacers” homelogo=”https://static.sprtactn.co/teamlogos/nba/100/okc.png” homename=”Oklahoma City Thunder” homeslug=”oklahoma-city-thunder” date=”Sunday, June 22″ time=”8 p.m. ET” network=”ABC” bookname=”bet365″ bookprimarylogo=”https://assets.actionnetwork.com/859377_Bet365@1x.png” bookreviewslug=”bet365″][/gameheader]

McConnell has at least 1 steal in all but one Finals game.

He’s currently tied for the lead with Caruso, who can have monster games, but also has two games with no steals and seems to be wearing down.

TJ minutes trending up, and a dead heat is still a solid payout at +250.

Pick: T.J. McConnell Game 7 Steals Leader (+250)

[subheader sizedown=”false” text=”Pacers vs. Thunder”][/subheader]

[gameheader haspick=”true” picktext=”Tyrese Haliburton Under 3.5 Rebounds (+316)” league=”nba” awaylogo=”https://static.sprtactn.co/teamlogos/nba/100/ind.png” awayname=”Indiana Pacers” awayslug=”indiana-pacers” homelogo=”https://static.sprtactn.co/teamlogos/nba/100/okc.png” homename=”Oklahoma City Thunder” homeslug=”oklahoma-city-thunder” date=”Sunday, June 22″ time=”8 p.m. ET” network=”ABC” bookname=”FanDuel” bookprimarylogo=”https://assets.actionnetwork.com/122955_FanDuelSportsBook@1x.jpg” bookreviewslug=”fanduel”][/gameheader]

Haliburton recorded just 1 rebound on 5 chances last game.

His minutes were down in blowout, but so was his rebounding effort level, which makes sense with the bad calf.

He had 3 outlier big rebounding games this series, but 3 others with 1-2-3.

Don’t love fading rebounds in Game 7 with plenty of missed shots coming, but I’ll play an alternate line and skip the median outcome in case they’re just not there.

Can always hit if the calf flares up too.

Pick: Tyrese Haliburton Under 3.5 Rebounds (+316)

[gameheader haspick=”true” picktext=”Myles Turner Under 1.5 Blocks (+105)” league=”nba” awaylogo=”https://static.sprtactn.co/teamlogos/nba/100/ind.png” awayname=”Indiana Pacers” awayslug=”indiana-pacers” homelogo=”https://static.sprtactn.co/teamlogos/nba/100/okc.png” homename=”Oklahoma City Thunder” homeslug=”oklahoma-city-thunder” date=”Sunday, June 22″ time=”8 p.m. ET” network=”ABC” bookname=”DraftKings ” bookprimarylogo=”https://assets.actionnetwork.com/477013_DraftKings@1x.png” bookreviewslug=”draftkings”][/gameheader]

Turner has 3-5-2 blocks in Pacers wins, but ZERO in losses.

Struggling all series.

Pick: Myles Turner Under 1.5 Blocks (+105)

[gameheader haspick=”true” picktext=”T.J. McConnell Over 13.5 Points + Assists (-114)” league=”nba” awaylogo=”https://static.sprtactn.co/teamlogos/nba/100/ind.png” awayname=”Indiana Pacers” awayslug=”indiana-pacers” homelogo=”https://static.sprtactn.co/teamlogos/nba/100/okc.png” homename=”Oklahoma City Thunder” homeslug=”oklahoma-city-thunder” date=”Sunday, June 22″ time=”8 p.m. ET” network=”ABC” bookname=”FanDuel” bookprimarylogo=”https://assets.actionnetwork.com/122955_FanDuelSportsBook@1x.jpg” bookreviewslug=”fanduel”][/gameheader]

Not looking for points or assists over in a gritty defensive Game 7, but I’ll make an exception for Indiana’s real Finals MVP.

TJ is over this line in 4/6 Finals games and got hooked in another, combining for 13/17/15/10/22/18 — averaging almost 16 and trending up with 23 minutes per game over the last two games with Hali bothered by a calf injury.

Looks good even with the Game 7 tax.

Pick: T.J. McConnell Over 13.5 Points + Assists (-114)

[subheader sizedown=”false” text=”Pacers vs. Thunder”][/subheader]

[gameheader haspick=”true” picktext=”Kenrich Williams Over 2.5 Rebounds (+130)” league=”nba” awaylogo=”https://static.sprtactn.co/teamlogos/nba/100/ind.png” awayname=”Indiana Pacers” awayslug=”indiana-pacers” homelogo=”https://static.sprtactn.co/teamlogos/nba/100/okc.png” homename=”Oklahoma City Thunder” homeslug=”oklahoma-city-thunder” date=”Sunday, June 22″ time=”8 p.m. ET” network=”ABC” bookname=”Fanatics Sportsbook” bookprimarylogo=”https://assets.actionnetwork.com/542724_Fanatics-banner-logo.png” bookreviewslug=”fanatics-sportsbook”][/gameheader]

Williams has logged 11-11-18 minutes in the last three games after 10 total the first three.

He grabbed 3 rebounds in two of those, and in 69% of games this season in which he saw 11+ minutes.

Series trending smaller again and gee the small ball center.

Rebounds are usually a good play for all the missed shots in Game 7, and he plays garbage minutes too, so could also hit in a blowout.

Pick: Kenrich Williams Over 2.5 Rebounds (+130)
