June 19th is potentially the last NBA game until the 2025-2026 season starts. The Oklahoma City Thunder are looking to win their first title in franchise history, and the Pacers want to extend this series to Game 7. Multiple storylines are going into this game, like Tyrese Haliburton’s injury and who will win the Finals MVP. All these storylines feed information into what betting lines will hit. Here are the three best prop bets for Game 6 of the NBA Finals.
Thunder-Pacers Best Prop Bets for Game 6 of NBA Finals
*All Oklahoma City Thunder vs Indiana Pacers lines are courtesy of DraftKings as of Thursday morning.
Tyrese Haliburton: Under 4.5 Rebounds (-135)
Haliburton is dealing with a calf strain heading into Game 6, and it was rumored he might not play, depending on the severity of the injury. Now, he will play no matter what, but this will limit his game. He will not be as explosive, limiting his driving ability and rebounding. Seeing the line at 4.5 rebounds is generous for any player with a lower-body injury.
BREAKING: Tyrese Haliburton is expected to play in Game 6 tonight, per @ShamsCharania

Game 5 was one of the worst games of Haliburton’s young career. He finished without a single made shot from the field and only four points, thanks to the free throw line. He still got seven rebounds, but this will not be true for Game 6. Expect T.J. McConnell to get more time and Haliburton to see a minute restriction. This injury is why Haliburton is one of the best bets for Game 6 of the Finals.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander: Over 33.5 Points (-125)
In the closeout game, the MVP, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, is due for the biggest performance of his career. He has the chance to do something no other Thunder star has done: win an NBA championship. This alone should have everyone betting the over for his points in this closeout game.
Shai has hit the over on this line in every closeout game this year. He finished with 38 points against Memphis in the first round, 35 points against Denver, and 34 points in the Conference Finals against the Timberwolves. Shai lives for the moment and will be the one the Thunder goes to in the clutch.
Luguentz Dort: Over 1.5 Made Three Pointers (-145)
Luguentz Dort has been torching the nets against the Pacers. In the Finals, he is shooting 58.3 percent from long range. He has had only one game where he shot below 50 percent from three in these Finals. This comes after a poor start to the playoffs, shooting below 30 percent from three in the first two rounds. He has found some gear that made him become the best long-range threat in the Finals, and the Thunder need to use him.
He has this trademarked “rainbow” three, where it looks like the ball will hit the jumbotron before it comes down. Somehow, this shot is always going in. Off-ball screens and dribble penetration have been leaving Dort wide open on the perimeter. The offensive game plan should not change at all for Game 6. If they keep feeding Dort the ball, this bet for Game 6 should easily hit.
