Pacers vs. Thunder Game 1 Odds for SGA’s NBA Finals Debut
SGA and the Thunder are big favorites heading into Thursday night’s Game 1, with BET99 listing them at -9.5. The Pacers are +310 on the moneyline, while the total is set at Over/Under 229.5.
The spread and moneyline are quite large for the Finals, but the Thunder have been fairly dominant for much of the postseason. While the Nuggets took it to seven games and stole Game 1 in the Western Conference semifinals, OKC won its other Game 1s by a combined 77 points.
During that run, SGA has shown why he was named NBA MVP, averaging 29.8 points, 6.9 assists and 5.7 rebounds through 16 postseason games. He’s shooting 47.1% from the field and averaging 9.2 trips to the free throw line per game.
The Pacers and Thunder met twice this season, with the Thunder winning both, 120-114 in December, and 132-111 in March. Gilgeous-Alexander had 45 points in the first meeting and 33 in the second.
