The Indiana Pacers evened the 2025 NBA Finals at three games apiece with a resounding 108-91 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder last Thursday. The Pacers’ bench was key, with Obi Toppin leading the way with 20 points and T.J. McConnell adding 12 points, nine rebounds, and six assists in 24 minutes. Indiana led throughout, but used a 36-17 second quarter to widen the halftime lead to 20 points and never look back. 

Tipoff is Sunday at 8 p.m. ET from the Paycom Center in Oklahoma City. The Thunder are 7.5-point favorites in the latest Thunder vs. Pacers odds, while the over-under is 215.5. Before making any Pacers vs. Thunder picks, be sure to see the Game 7 Thunder vs. Pacers score prediction and Game 7 Pacers vs. Thunder expert picks from SportsLine’s Eric Cohen.

Cohen is a SportsLine expert and Early Edge personality who has nailed two golf winners in the last month and finished among the top three college football experts on the site. A jack-of-all-trades, Cohen has a futures bet on the Thunder to win the NBA Finals.

Here are Cohen’s top Thunder vs. Pacers expert picks for Game 7 (odds subject to change):

  • Thunder money line (-298)
  • Under 215.5 Points
  • Tyrese Haliburton Under 27.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-125)
  • T.J. McConnell Over 17.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-120)
  • Jalen Williams 20+ Points (-225)
  • Thunder vs. Pacers score prediction: Thunder 105, Pacers 97

Cohen’s Analysis: There have been five Game 7s in the NBA Finals since 1994 and none of the teams have come close to breaking the 100 point mark in any of them. In fact, the Heat’s 95 points against the Spurs in 2013 are the closest a team has come to that mark. While I think Oklahoma City will get there, the under will be a smash play for me as teams historically tighten up defensively in these deciding games. I can’t play the spread as I think it’s very close to the outcome, an eight point Thunder victory as I see it. Though the number is low, I can’t play any Tyrese Haliburton’s overs considering he’s dealing with a fairly serious leg injury which under any other circumstances, would keep him out for multiple weeks. Meanwhile, his backup McConnell continues to thrive and honestly should be a series MVP contender if the Pacers pull off the upset in Game 7. As a bonus bet for you reading this far, how about McConnell to record 2+ steals at +210 odds? He’s done it in 4 of 6 games this series. His performance throughout has been brilliant. The Pacers will try to slow Shai Gilgeous-Alexander by rotating top defenders Andrew Nembhard and Aaron Nesmith on him, so I look for Jalen Williams to once again be a focal point on offense for the Thunder. I’m fine buying his line down to 20+, a number he far exceeded in Games 3-5. I believe the Thunder will win but then again, the last four teams down 3-2 in the Finals and won Game 6 also won Game 7. This one should be an old school NBA thriller and I can’t wait to watch on Sunday night! All of these NBA picks can be played at FanDuel with a FanDuel promo code, which offers up to $200 in bonus bets with a winning $5 wager.

Trénuje v Česku, vládne světu. Japonku z Domažlic čeká v Tokiu šílenství

Křišťálové trofeje ze Zlaté tretry nemusí vozit domů přes půlku světa, jen téměř na druhý konec republiky. Zatím má doma dvě, v úterý bude usilovat o třetí. „Chtěla bych ji získat. Doufám, že hodím ještě dál než v Oslu,“ hlásí Kitagučiová, která v norské metropoli ovládla Diamantovou ligu výkonem 64,63 m.V souboji s mladou Srbkou Adrianou Vilagošovou, který si v Ostravě zopakuje. „To je dobře, potřebuju silné soupeřky,“ vypráví usměvavá Japonka češtinou, než po chvíli raději přejde do angličtiny. Po Zlaté tretře se hned přesune do své rodné země na národní šampionát, pak se vrátí do Domažlic. Další cesta do Asie už přijde před mistrovstvím světa.Počítá, že při vrcholu sezony v Tokiu na ní budou upřeny oči desetitisíců fanoušků, kteří si budou chtít vynahradit, že na covidové olympiádě na Národní stadion nemohli. „Doufám, že bude plný. Je pravda, že po olympiádě mě v Japonsku víc lidí zná a fandí mi,“ […]

Juan Soto makes history with two home runs to help Mets snap seven-game losing streak

Getty Images The Mets grabbed a much-needed win in Philadelphia Saturday night, 11-4, snapping their seven-game losing streak and again tying the Phillies atop the NL East. Brandon Nimmo homered twice for the Mets while Francisco Lindor and Francisco Alvarez added home runs of their own, but the headline here on an individual basis belongs to Juan Soto. He went 4 for 5 and homered twice with the second one being an upper-tank beauty to provide the Mets with some breathing room.Soto now has 16 homers and 39 RBI this season. He's hitting .256/.393/.484 on the season. This was actually his third two-homer game in 2025 and that runs his tally to 26 in his career. This ties Hall of Famer Jimmie Foxx for the most ever by a player before turning 27 years old, according to MLB.com. Soto turns 27 on Oct. […]
