Opening Odds To Now

Both the Thunder and Pacers NBA Finals odds went on much different journeys since the start of the season. The Thunder opened amongst the favorites last June at +950 odds and have stayed a steady course under +1000 odds ever since. They dropped below +500 in November, under +200 in March, and just under even in early May.

The Pacers took a much different route to this point. In June, they opened at +4000 odds to win the finals and took an upward course until early January where they peaked at +15000 odds. From there, their odds began coming down once again, leaving them with +6800 odds going into the playoffs. Following their first round victory, they had +3850. After the quarterfinals, they came down to +850, and now +460 going into the finals.

Regular Season Head to Head

In their two regular season meetings, the Thunder took care of business both times with a 120-114 win in their first meeting and a 132-111 victory in their second meeting. In both meetings, OKC covered the spread and both games’ point totals went over.
