Thunder vs. Pacers: 3 Underdog DFS Picks for Game 6 (June 19)

Game 6 of the NBA Finals is going down tonight! The Oklahoma City Thunder muscled their way past the Indiana Pacers in Game 5, bringing them one win away from the title.

Will they make it happen tonight in Indiana? Or will the Pacers find a way to win without Tyrese Haliburton at full strength, if he does manage to play? 

We’ll soon find out. To make the game a bit more interesting, we’ve put our favorite Underdog player props together, hoping to hit it big before there’s no basketball to bet on until the 2025-2026 season starts. Let’s get into it!

Pascal Siakam (IND) OVER 21.5 Points

With Haliburton’s status up in the air, it only makes sense for us to push all our chips into the Pascal Siakam bucket. Siakam was fantastic in Game 5, scoring 28 points while shooting 60% from the field, and should have another great performance in this one.

He took over when Haliburton had some off nights, and there’s no reason for us to believe that he’s in for a down game tonight. If the offense runs through Siakam like we’re anticipating, he should hit the over on his point total with room to spare.  

Jalen Williams (OKC) OVER 23.5 Points

We’re riding with the hot hand from the Thunder tonight, taking the over on Jalen Williams’ point total. We all know what Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is capable of from a scoring perspective, but Williams has also been a big reason for the team’s success this series.

He put up 40 in Game 5, and while he doesn’t have that ceiling every night, hitting 24 points shouldn’t be difficult for him in a meaningful contest. The tempting pick would be to take SGA’s over, but we’re going with Williams until he puts up a stinker.  

Myles Turner (IND) UNDER 5.5 Rebounds

Myles Turner isn’t having a great series. He’s been mostly shut down by Oklahoma City’s bigs, which hasn’t resulted in the best stats, especially in the rebounding category.

Turner has only had 6+ boards in two games this series, and we just can’t trust him to be consistent in this area. While some might be projecting him to have a big game at home, we’re fading Turner tonight, believing he won’t have more than 5 rebounds.
