Best NBA Team Props Today - June 18
The NBA could very well crown a champion on Thursday night when the Thunder look to put away the Pacers in Game 6 after…
Category Ratings
The Thunder survived what looked to be another Pacers 4th quarter charge and turned a 95-93 game with 8:30 to go into a 16-point lead just three minutes later.
It was the first real death blow scoring run the Thunder have been able to put on the Pacers this series, and it came at the perfect time for OKC’s title hopes.
With all the momentum in these series firmly in the Thunder’s corner, especially now with news of Tyrese Haliburton’s calf injury, this could very well be the last night we bet on an NBA game until October.
So let’s make it count.
Here’s my best team prop bets for Game 6 on Thursday.
Note: Odds were correct at the time of writing.
Pacers Team Total UNDER 108.5 Points (-114) at FanDuel
I believe Tyrese Haliburton will play in Game 6, but I also believe he’s hurting and it’s impacting his play.
The Pacers’ offense has been one of the best stories of the entire NBA postseason, and many basketball fans like myself have fallen in love with the unselfish and team-oriented play of the Pacers.
However, this team is running on fumes, and Tyrese Haliburton’s injury could certainly be the final nail in the coffin.
I’ve been one of the Pacers’ biggest supporters this postseason, and it’s been a valiant run, but the Thunder ripped their hearts out and any chances of one of the biggest upsets in NBA Finals history when they stole Game 4 on this very floor last Friday night.
The Pacers will give it their all, they always do, but I believe they will fall short of forcing a Game 7 and fall short of putting up the points necessary to do so. Give me the under 108.5 on the Pacers team total.

Thunder Team Total OVER 114.5 (-108) at FanDuel
There’s blood in the water, and OKC knows it. As I said above, Tyrese Haliburton’s injury changes the Pacers’ chances at forcing a Game 7 dramatically.
Don’t think the Thunder don’t realize this either.
The Thunder having star power to lean on in clutch situations is proving to be the difference maker in this series. We saw that in Game 4 when league MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander took over to ensure that the series was heading back to OKC tied at two games apiece.
We saw that again in Game 5 when Jalen Williams exploded for 40 points, and while J-Dub is not a household name, make no doubt about it, he is a star and one who will continue to grow as this Thunder team just seems to improve with each passing season.
That improvement will all come together on Thursday when the Thunder win their first ever NBA Championship. Maybe now they can let the Sonics have their championship back, after all, they did steal the team from them. It’s the least they can do, right?
Anyway, I foresee another typical OKC performance, and I will take the over on their team total of 114.5. This game feels a lot like Monday’s game, and this series feels all but done.
