The NBA Finals series between the Indiana Pacers and the Oklahoma City Thunder is heading to its close. It can be a done deal if the Thunder take care of business against the Pacers in Game 6. After all, they had an emphatic 120-109 win in Game 5.
At any rate, no matter who emerges as the victor, NBA bettors will be dialed in and will want to close out on the bang if this is the last game of the 2024-25 season. We’ll help you out with our carefully selected best NBA Same Game Parlay for Game 6 based on BetMGM.
Total O 222.5 (-105 Straight)
The Pacers-Thunder series has hovered in the 220-230 range. Three games have been “Under” the projected mark, but except for Game 4 (215 points), each game has been over the 220 mark.
The projections for the game have come down from late 220s to early 220s now. However, I see a high-scoring game here and would opt for the “Over” here. It makes sense considering the scoring potential from both squads.
Spread: Thunder -6.5 (-110 Straight)
The Thunder have been brilliant for two straight games. They won the last game by 11 points and Game 4 by 7 points. Meanwhile, their Game 2 triumph of 16 points has helped them clear the spread on 3/5 occasions.
They almost had a double-digit win in Game 1 before the Pacers’ miraculous comeback. Thus, the Thunder know how to defeat the opponent by a margin. Overall, I see them clearing the spread for the fourth time in five games.
NBA SGP: Total O 222.5 and Thunder -6.5 for +250 at BetMGM
The Thunder has won three out of the last four games in the series. The Pacers’ approach of making a big push in the second half has failed, as the Thunder has figured out the formula to beat them. Jalen Williams had 40 points in Game 5, and that has created a big headache for the Pacers apart from Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who scores 30+ for fun.
Thus, going for an “Over” total and expecting the Thunder to clear the spread doesn’t seem too risky.

I enjoy this job because it helps keep me in the loop about the game I love while fulfilling the pleasure I derive from stats.
