Tyrese Haliburton is dealing with a calf injury

INDIANAPOLIS – It is do or die for the Indiana Pacers in Game 6 as they find themselves trailing against the Oklahoma City Thunder for the first time in the NBA Finals with a 3-2 series score in favor of OKC.

With the series lead, legal sports betting sites are heavily leaning on the Thunder to close out the series in Game 6 and win their first ever championship since being rebranded from the Seattle Supersonics to the Thunder back in 2008.

Oklahoma City Thunder Vs. Indiana Pacers

Moneyline: Thunder -195 vs. Pacers +165
Spread: Thunder -5
Total: 225

There is a major development going into Game 6 as Tyrese Haliburton is now dealing with a calf injury. While he wasn’t limited in Game 5 with his 34 minutes played, he certainly was feeling the effects of it with just four points on offense on 0-6 shooting.

Thunder Serious Threat To Close Out In Indy

While the Pacers are in a do-or-die situation, the Thunder need to do everything in their power to close out in Game 6 and not allow a Game 7. This comes as Indiana has already shown that they can defeat the Thunder both on their own home court and in Oklahoma City as they did in Game 1.

Without Haliburton, this is a great spot to take the Thunder’s NBA odds to close out the series and cover while doing so. The Thunder have covered a 5-point spread in all three of their wins in the series thus far.

Series Price Update

Pacers: +800
Thunder: -1600

The Thunder have taken complete control over the series price odds here. Going into Game 5, they sat with -500 odds to win the series while the Pacers sat at +390. Now, after taking the lead and Haliburton dealing with a calf injury, they’ve taken a huge jump to -1600 to win the NBA Finals.
