NBA Finals Bracket 2025 Odds, Box Score Predictions for Pacers vs. Thunder Game 2
The Oklahoma City Thunder have not lost consecutive games this postseason.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Co. need to bounce back once again on Sunday in Game 2 of the NBA Finals against the Indiana Pacers.
OKC is an even bigger favorite on the point spread than it was for Game 1. Sunday's spread is up to 11 points.
Two of the Thunder's four wins after losses this postseason were of the blowout variety in the second round against the Denver Nuggets.
OKC owns seven double-digit victories this postseason, so a dominant performance to level the series isn't out of the question.

Another Big Game Expected from SGA
2 of 3
It feels like stating the obvious that Shai Gilgeous-Alexander will have a massive game for the Thunder in Game 2.
Sometimes it's worth taking the obvious pick.
SGA scored 34, 25, 35 and 40 points in games after losses this postseason. His point prop sits at over/under 34.5.
SGA cleared the over on his point prop in Game 1 and he'll have the high shot volume that should allow him to get 35 points in Game 2.
The only way he doesn't reach the 30s is if OKC has the game wrapped up before the start of the fourth quarter.
If the NBA MVP is scoring so much, it's worth a look to bet the under on his assists prop at 7.5 and look to someone like Jalen Williams to bet on an assist prop instead.
Indiana Needs Another Three-Point Outburst
3 of 3
Indiana made 18 three-pointers in Game 1.
Four of the five starters and Obi Toppin off the bench knocked down multiple shots from three-point range.
The Pacers can keep pace with OKC if they continue their success from deep.
Toppin made seven three-pointers in his last two games. He also played 25 minutes in those two contests.
Despite his five made threes, the over on Toppin's made threes prop of 1.5 sits at plus-money. That's worth the risk given how well he's played of late.
Andrew Nembhard and Aaron Nesmith are other solid options to look at for three-point props. Nesmith knocked down multiple threes in five of his last seven games and Nembhard did the same in four of the last seven.
A Same Game Parlay of a few Pacers players to hit two or three three-pointers might be the way to go because we know Indiana will just keep shooting. The Pacers attempted 39 threes in Game 1.
