With just one victory remaining before making franchise history, the Oklahoma City Thunder, headed by season MVP Gilgeous-Alexander, will play the Indiana Pacers in Game 6 of the NBA Finals on June 19. According to CBS, the Thunder have the opportunity to win their first NBA Championship since the team's move from Seattle in 2008, as the series is currently tied at 3-2. At Gainbridge Fieldhouse, the NBA 2025 finals will begin at 8:30 p.m. ET; the game will be shown live on ABC and streamed on Fubo.

After a resounding 120-109 win in Game 5 of the NBA Finals, the Oklahoma City Thunder now have the momentum and are hoping to complete the task on the road. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, the MVP of the NBA, continues to produce outstanding playoff performances, averaging 30.4 points, 6.5 assists, and 5.4 rebounds.

In NBA Game 5, Shai had a 31-point double-double, while his teammate Jalen Williams had a playoff-high 40 points, along with six rebounds and four assists.

According to DraftKings, Oklahoma City entered the game as a 6.5-point favorite and has won three of the previous four contests. With an NBA Finals title, a victory today would bring Gilgeous-Alexander's MVP candidacy to a conclusion, following an amazing 68-14 regular season.

The Indiana Pacers, on the other hand, are struggling mightily, not only due to the Thunder's play but also because of injuries. Tyrese Haliburton, their star point guard, is listed as questionable with a strained right calf that he suffered during his disappointing four-point showing in Game 5.

Pascal Siakam, who has been consistent throughout the series, and Myles Turner, who gives Indiana its paint presence, will need to have outstanding performances, whether or not Haliburton plays.

The Pacers have demonstrated grit throughout the postseason, winning upsets over Milwaukee, Cleveland, and New York, despite the obstacles they have faced. However, it's possible that their campaign may come to an end on Thursday.

With a -6.5 spread against the Indiana Pacers, the Oklahoma City Thunder are the obvious choice going into the game. According to another report, oddsmakers have set the total points line at 221.5, with forecasts pointing towards the under.

The Pacers are the underdogs at +200, but the Thunder has a commanding lead on the moneyline at -250. The Thunder are predicted to win 113-100, according to current forecasts, continuing their dominance and easily covering the spread.

Given the uncertainty surrounding Haliburton's health and the Thunder's dominance, everything seems to indicate that OKC will win the series 4-2 and raise the Larry O'Brien Trophy on Indiana's home field.

The game begins at 8:30 p.m. ET on Thursday, June 19.

Indianapolis, Indiana's Gainbridge Fieldhouse will host the game.

ABC will televise the game, and it will also be available through Fubo's streaming service.

Throughout the series, Jalen Williams and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander have been exceptional players.
