Why Bet on the Thunder?
The OKC Thunder have been the most consistent and most effective team in the entire 2024/25 NBA season. While the Cavs in the East also had a similar season, they failed to hold on in the playoffs. The Oklahoma City, meanwhile, were forceful throughout, and right now, are the contenders to be the champions.
The Thunder gave a master class in the Western Conference, finishing at the top of the table in the regular season with a 16-game difference over the Rockets, their closest rival.The team had a spectacular 68-14 record, with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Jalen Williams, and Alex Caruso carrying the entire weight of the team.
In the playoffs, they shut out the Grizzlies (3-0), struggled against the Nuggets (4-3), with Caruso completely shutting down Nikola Jokic, while they crushed Anthony Edwards’ Timberwolves 4-1 in the conference finals.
Why Bet on the Pacers?
On the other hand, the Indiana Pacers are the big surprise of this 2024/25 season. The team did not have as mind-blowing a regular season as the Oklahoma, as they were fourth in the East, 14.0 games behind the first-place Cavaliers. However, their best level came in the playoffs.
In the first stage of the playoffs, Indiana showed all their power by beating the Milwaukee Bucks 3-1. Then, they pulled off the big upset by annihilating the Cleveland Cavaliers 4-1, while their most recent series, in the conference finals, ended with a big 4-2 win over the New York Knicks.
Tyrese Haliburton, Aaron Nesmith (despite his ankle discomfort,) and Pascal Siakam have been the architects of this great season for the Pacers. Now, they will try to put the icing on the cake by beating the super-powered Oklahoma City team.
