The Thunder have thrived offensively at home in this series, averaging 121.3 points while shooting nearly eight percentage points better in effective field-goal rate than on the road. They've also bounced back well from defeats, posting 122 and 127 points in their two previous games off a loss. While Game 7s are often expected to be lower scoring, that narrative is already reflected into a total that's dropped seven points from Game 6.

Jared McCain’s impact in the Western Conference Finals shows why he was the best mid-season acquisition in 2025-26.

Over the last five games, McCain has averaged 20 PRA and hit the Over on this combo line four times, including both of his starts. In that span, he ranks second in minutes, usage and total possessions behind only Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.

With Ajay Mitchell and Jalen Williams out again, I expect McCain to stick with the first unit, leading to plenty of opportunities to score, rebound and facilitate. This line should be priced closer to 21.5, making it a tremendous value.
