Pacers vs. Thunder Best Prop Picks for Game 7

Tyrese Haliburton Over 15.5 points (+100 at Bet365)

At this point, we know that the Pacers are nearly unbeatable when Tyrese Haliburton puts up 20 points and 10 assists – they’re 20-1 in the regular season and playoffs.

Just scoring 20 is deadly enough: Indiana has a whopping 25-3 record this year when he touched the 20-point plateau.

The good news is, Haliburton doesn’t need 20 points to land you a win, he just needs to score 16 points, which he’s done three times in this series, missing the over another two times, both by a bucket each.

He looked good in Game 6, playing with a calf strain. The two days off were again a big help, and if the Pacers want to win a title Sunday, Hali has to be big for them.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Over 6.5 assists (+110 at Bet365)

Shai’s scoring is the obvious prop to bet, but it’s the plus odds on his assist numbers that are enticing here.

SGA has only hit the seven assist mark twice in this series, and he’s had two or fewer dimes in two of his last three.

Nestled in between those performances was a series-best 10 assists in Game 5, and I believe Gilgeous-Alexander leans in on his teammates in the ultimate must-win of the season. 

Indiana’s defense has been crushed in each of the last two road games at Paycom, and SGA has racked up 18 assists in those games.

While Indiana is expected to be more competitive, I expect Shai to be in control from the jump and trusting his teammates to make shots.

Aaron Wiggins Over 6.5 points (+105 at Bet365)

Aaron Wiggins is the ultimate definition of a role player, playing better at home.

He’s been huge off the bench in each of the last two home games for the Thunder.

In Game 5, Wiggins went for 14 points, including a 4-for-7 shooting spree from downtown.

He had a playoff high 18 points in Game 2, shooting 6-for-11 from the field, and banging in five triples.

The Thunder overwhelm teams at home in the playoffs, and it feels like everyone gets in on the act.

There are other candidates worth considering (Cason Wallace and Lu Dort come to mind), but I like Wiggins’ confidence when he checks in on his home floor.
