Indiana Pacers Shock Thunder with Stunning 12-1 Parlay Upset in 2025 NBA Finals Game 1

Oklahoma City opened as -9 favorites and has been steamed up despite most of the betting action being on the Pacers. This suggests that Indy is a “public ‘dog,” which gets slaughtered by sportsbooks. 

The Thunder are 8-1 straight up (SU) and 7-2 against the spread (ATS) at home in these playoffs with a +24.6 scoring margin. Per the Action Network’s Evan Abrams, underdogs are 2-18 SU and 3-17 ATS in Game 1 since the 2005 NBA Finals. 

This is the scariest leg of the SGP because both teams like to get out in transition and have several 3-point shooters. However, it’s the scarier bets that tend to be the most profitable, and the public loves betting Overs in primetime games.
