Opening Odds for Pacers vs. Thunder NBA Finals Game 6 on Thursday 6/19/25

By: Stan Son

In every playoff series during this playoff run, the Indiana Pacers have been blown out in one game. Monday’s Game 5 marked that moment in the series with the Thunder. The difference, though, is that the Game 5 loss was the first time the Pacers have lost back-to-back games.

Now the series shifts back to Indiana for a do-or-die Game 6.

The crowd is no doubt going to be raucous. The role players are going to be awesome. But will Tyrese Haliburton be healthy? That is the big question mark.

Game will be played on Thursday, 6/19/25, in Indiana. The Thunder open as five-point favorites and are -218 on the moneyline on DraftKings Sportsbook. The total is set at 224.5.

Stan joined DraftKings in December of 2020. It was a glorious time, except for that whole COVID thing, when we got Madden streams and boisterous bat flips from the KBO. I was brought on board to bring some West Coast flavor. I especially love hoops, and most of my content is in that arena. When I walk along the beach, strumming my guitar, the beat that I hear is not one of crashing waves. No, it is the beat of the ball bouncing off the hardwood with highs provided by the squeaks of the sneakers. Ball is life.
