On June 16, the Oklahoma City Thunder will host the Indiana Pacers in Game 5 of the championship round. The Thunder leveled the finals series in Game 4 through an impressive 111-104 win.<\/p><p>Can the Pacers once again get the series lead in the game of cat-and-mouse?

Like Game 3, both teams traded sucker punches throughout the affair. The Pacers actually had a seven-point lead entering the fourth quarter. <\/p><p>Alex Caruso and Chet Holmgren helped their team tie things up. Meanwhile, Shai went on a personal 15-point run in the last four minutes to close out the game. He finished with 35 points, making 50% of his FG and nailing all 10 free-throw attempts.<\/p><p>On the other hand, Jalen Williams had 27 while Alex Caruso was a huge difference-maker with 20 off the bench. For the Pacers, the scoring balance was also fantastic with Tyrese Haliburton, Obi Toppin, and Pascal Siakam scoring in the 17-20 range. <\/p><p>However, they were massively outrebounded as OKC had a 43-33 advantage(12-7 offensive rebounds). Meanwhile, the Thunder were an excellent 34-38 (89%)from the charity stripe, compared to the Pacers&rsquo; 25-33 free-throw performance. <\/p><p>The Thunder&rsquo;s mid-range and interior prowess helped negate a huge three-point disparity as the Pacers made 11 compared to just three by them. It is one of the few occasions when a team with such a huge deep-range disadvantage emerged as victorious. <\/p><p>The Thunder will return with a ton of confidence on their home floor. Meanwhile, the Pacers also know how to bounce back from losses.<\/p><p><strong>Pacers Expected Starting Lineup<\/strong><\/p><p><strong>PG:<\/strong> Tyrese Haliburton | <strong>SG: <\/strong>Andrew Nembhard |<strong> <\/strong><strong>&nbsp;SF:<\/strong> Aaron Nesmith | <strong>PF: <\/strong>Pascal Siakam<strong> | C: <\/strong>Myles Turner<\/p><p><strong>Key bench players: SG: <\/strong>Benedict Mathurin, <strong>PG<\/strong>: TJ McConnell, <strong>C:<\/strong> Thomas Bryant.<\/p><p><strong>Injuries\/Updates: <\/strong>Nothing to report as such.<\/p><p><strong>Thunder Expected Starting Lineup<\/strong><\/p><p><strong>PG:<\/strong> Shai-Gilgeous Alexander | <strong>SG: <\/strong>Luguentz Dort | <strong>SF<\/strong>: Jalen Williams | <strong>SF<\/strong>: Chet Holmgren | <strong>C<\/strong>: Isaiah Hartenstein<\/p><p><strong>Key bench players: SG:<\/strong> Cason Wallace<strong>, SG: <\/strong>Alex Caruso<strong>,&nbsp; SG: <\/strong>Aaron Wiggins.<\/p><p><strong>Injuries\/Updates: <\/strong>Nothing significant to report<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Oklahoma City Thunder vs Indiana Pacers Total Over\/Under Prediction- NBA Best Bets<\/strong><\/h2><p>The series has been more low-scoring than expected. The first three games were at least in the 220-230 range, which the bookmakers projected. But three out of four games have fallen in the &ldquo;Under&rdquo; category. <\/p><p>The physicality during the series has ensured that Thunder has remained around 5-10 points below the projected marks.

He scored 33+ for the fifth time in six games. Thus, an &ldquo;over&rdquo; for his projected range has been a safer bet. However, I see the Pacers holding him below 33 here.<\/p><p><strong>Tyrese Haliburton U 18.5 points: <\/strong>Like SGA, Haliburton is also usually hovering around the 1-2 points range of his Over\/Under. He has scored 17 or fewer points in four straight road games, so I would go for &ldquo;Under&rdquo; here.<\/p><p><strong>Chet Holmgren O 8.5 rebounds: <\/strong>Holmgren&rsquo;s rebounding numbers decreased after the Western Semi-Finals, but he has pinned down at least 10 rebounds (15 in Game 3) in two straight games. I expect him to notch at least 9 here, too.<\/p><p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Main pick<\/strong>: <strong>Assists: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/go-FanDuel-sports-us-en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'><strong>U 34.5 points for -122 at FanDuel<\/strong><\/a><\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Oklahoma City Thunder vs Indiana Pacers Game 5 Prediction- NBA Betting Lines<\/strong><\/h2><p>The series has been a battle of equals thus far. The Thunder has cleared the spread in two games, whereas the same goes for the Pacers.
