In Game 6 of the NBA finals 2025, which will take place in the Gainbridge Fieldhouse on June 19, the Indiana Pacers will be hoping to rebound from their consecutive losses against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Thunder are currently ahead of the Pacers in the championship series 3-2, giving the Pacers their last shot at keeping their hopes alive for winning the title.

Due to a calf strain, Tyrese Haliburton's involvement is questionable, and CBS Sports said the team is already having problems on their own turf. The NBA finals game between the Indiana Pacers and Oklahoma City Thunder begins at 8:30 p.m. ET.

The NBA Finals will go to Game 7 if the Pacers are able to win this contest. Their aspirations of winning in the NBA will be dashed if they lose. The best five NBA players to keep an eye out for before Game 6 are listed below:

The top five NBA players to watch are the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Indiana Pacers

The MVP of the NBA season is the Canadian guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander would have another accomplishment if he won the championship game. In the last few games against the Pacers, the Oklahoma City Thunder player has been outstanding, scoring more than 30 points in four of the five games.

Next up is Jalen Williams, Gilgeous-Alexander's Thunder teammate, according to Jalen Williams. In the first five games of the NBA finals against the Pacers, Gilgeous-Alexander (32.4 points per game) and Williams (25.8 points per game) have scored 58.2 points together, according to the NBA. They are currently ranked tenth in history for the most points scored per game. This aligns the pair with legends like Shaquille O'Neal, LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Michael Jordan, and Kobe Bryant.

Chet Holmgren: Chet Holmgren has been the Thunder's main center against the Pacers and is one more player who has improved the team's roster over the past few years. In his last three games of the NBA Finals, Holmgren has 10 or more rebounds. According to Sports Illustrated, he averaged 8.8 boards and 16.4 rebound attempts per game this postseason. This increased to 9.6 rebounds on 17.0 attempts in the NBA finals.

Tyrese Haliburton: According to NBC News, Haliburton's inclusion would be a "game-time decision," but his presence (or absence) may undoubtedly shift the course of the game. Haliburton, for his part, has stated that he will "do everything" he can to play on Thursday. If he makes the team, a persistent calf strain could have an effect on his play in the game. He played for 34 minutes in the previous game, going 0/6 from the field and ending with only four points, six assists, and seven rebounds.

Siakam may become the most important player for the Pacers if Haliburton is unable to meet the challenge. According to SportsGrid, he managed to end Game 5 with 33 combined points and assists. Pascal Siakam may be able to change the tide for Pacers and stretch the finals to Game 7 if hopes are great.
