Team balls out! I have to think Hali tries to play...it's the Finals. But it doesn't seem like he'll be 100%. OKC should close this out with the star player hurt, right? Not so fast!
In Game 5, Indy had 23 TO's which led to 32 conceded points(OKC had 11 & 9)!!! J Dub dropped 40, 31 for Shai, and a combined 7 3's and 25 points from bench players Wallace/Wiggins...and Indy still almost pulled off the upset! And that was with Hali having a -13 +/- and going 0'fer from the field. It was a 2 point game at one point in the 4th! OKC should've destroyed them with those kinds of stats.
Now we get Indy back at home, desperate to extend this to 7. This game is going to be INTENSE! Indy has missed covering the spread by 1 point in game 4 and 2 points in game 5(both the fault of Mathurin!). Indy has already won 2 games this series.
For the 3rd game in a row, I'm going to take a chance with the points. Hopefully someone on INDY steps up and has a big scoring game while the rest of the role players have good games packing the stat sheet. Maybe get some regression from the OKC players back to the mean.
Pacers +6
If Hali is a no-go and line goes up, I'll hit that also.
Who doesn't want to see a NBA Finals Game 7 on a Sunday evening in summer! Just hoping this isn't one of those games where OKC goes up big and INDY throws in the towel early in the 4th. Hate those games...Like the C's elimination game vs NYK.
