Thunder -9.5

The Thunder -9.5 on the point spread leads off my NBA parlay predictions.

In Game 4, the Thunder came back after losing Game 3 and got the win despite trailing 87-80 heading into the fourth quarter.

The Thunder managed to get the win despite making just three 3-point shots in the game, shooting 18.8% from beyond the arc.

This seems to be following a similar pattern to their series against the Denver Nuggets, which included a Game 1 loss at home, a big-time win in Game 2, a loss in the first road game, and was followed by a road win.

Now, going back home, the Thunder got the win in Game 5 of that Nuggets series.

In Game 5 against the Minnesota Timberwolves, the Thunder ended the series with a 30-point win.

At home, the Thunder are 35-15-2 against the spread (70%).

In Game 4, the Thunder shot 37 of 78 from the floor (47.4%).

They did have 38 free-throw attempts and made 34 of them.

That is the most free-throw attempts they've had in a single game and a stunning 16 more than Game 3.

The Thunder finished with 10 more rebounds (43-33), one more steal (12-11), and beat the Pacers in the paint (50-36).

In Game 3, the Pacers outscored the Thunder in the paint, which helped lead them to a win at home.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (35), Jalen Williams (27), Alex Caruso (20), and Chet Holmgren (14) all had double-digit points.

As for the Pacers, they went 34 of 80 from the floor (42.5%), including 11 of 36 from 3-point land (30.6%).

They also went 25 of 33 from the free-throw line (75.8%).

They had 10 more assists (21-11) than the Thunder, but also had two more turnovers (15-13).

Pascal Siakam (20), Tyrese Haliburton (18), Obi Toppin (17), Myles Turner (12), and Andrew Nembhard (10) had double-digit points.

Back at home, I think the Thunder gets a big-time win.

They have yet to put together a "complete game," which to me includes strong defense, especially along the perimeter, and solid 3-point shooting of their own, which is north of 36% on the season.

The Thunder are excellent at home, and I think they'll get a 10-point win thanks to a strong presence outside while shooting around 35% from 3-point range.

Take the Thunder here at -9.5 to take a 3-2 series lead before heading back to Indiana to potentially wrap things up.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander 30+ Points

The next leg of my NBA Same Game Parlay today is for Gilgeous-Alexander to record 30 points or more.

Through the first four games in this series, Gilgeous-Alexander has had 30 points or more in all but one game.

In Game 3, he was pinned down, scoring just 24 points. He went 9 of 20 from the floor, including 1 of 3 from 3-point range and 5 of 6 from the free-throw line.

Here's what the lines looked like in Games 1, 2, and 4:

• Game 1: 38 points, including 14 of 30 shooting from the floor (46.7%), 3 of 6 from 3-point range (50%), and 7 of 8 from the free-throw line (87.5%).
• Game 2: 34 points, including 11 of 21 shooting from the floor (52.4%), 1 of 4 from 3-point range (25%), and 11 of 12 from the free-throw line (91.7%).
• Game 4: 35 points, including 12 of 24 shooting from the floor (50%), 1 of 4 from 3-point range (25%), and 10 of 10 from the free-throw line (100%).

The Pacers did a good job of holding SGA in Game 3, but that was extremely short-lived. In fact, coming off that game, he had the second-most points in any game this series.

In all, he's averaging 32.75 points per game this series.

Over the course of this season, he's averaged 32.7 points per game.

SGA has also had 30 points or more in 49 of 76 games this season (65.5%).

At home during this postseason, SGA  has had 30 points or more in 9 of 11 games. The last time he finished with less than 30 points at home was April 22 against the Memphis Grizzlies.

He's the MVP for a reason. SGA will have at least 30.

Tyrese Haliburton 7+ Assists

The next leg of my NBA Same Game Parlay today is for Haliburton to have seven assists or more.

This season, Haliburton is averaging 9.2 assists per game.

Throughout this postseason, he's had seven assists or more in a game in 14 of 20 games.

Breaking this down further, through the first four games of this series, he's had seven assists or more in two games, which include the two most recent with seven in Game 4 and 11 in Game 3.

While he fell short in two games, Haliburton is averaging 14.5 potential assists per game.

I'll take the chance here, especially with how much the Pacers move the ball around.
