Oklahoma City Thunder head to Indianapolis for Game 3 of the NBA Finals against the Indiana Pacers, aiming to get one back on Tyrese Haliburton and co on their home court at Gainbridge Fieldhouse – having lost one game back in Oklahoma earlier in the series.
Thunder took advantage of Haliburton limping through parts of Game 2, with the Pacers star admitting he was struggling with a ‘lower body thing’ then, though is adamant he will be available to feature in Game 3 against Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and co.
Match Odds
Prediction
The Pacers have made sure teams are not comfortable in the final minute of games during this post-season, completing multiple comebacks in their run to the Finals – Pacers led for only 0.3 seconds in the Game 1 win at OKC.
Indeed, the Pacers have only led for a total of one minute and 56 seconds out of a possible 96 minutes in the first two games of the series. That’s testament to OKC ideally favourites to win if they can finish off the game before the Pacers have enough time to be inspired to pull off yet another comeback.
