Pascal Siakam over 25.5 points+rebounds (-188)
Game 7s are usually about experience, and you’ll be hard pressed to find anyone with more of it on this Indiana Pacers roster than Pascal Siakam. The 2019 NBA champion with the Toronto Raptors has played in 3 Game 7s in his career, the latest one being against the New York Knicks last season — in which he showed up in a big way with 20 points and 4 rebounds to elevate the Pacers to a win. With their entire season on the line here and an opportunity to win a ring for the first time in franchise history, there will be no lack of motivation on Siakam’s end to do well.
Siakam has been on a roll for quite some time this postseason, averaging a team-high 20.7 points per game, that number is up to 21.2 over his last 10 outings. In the rebounding department he just had one of his best games this year, collecting 13 of them in a vital Game 6 victory to keep the Pacers’ season alive. In the 3 road games in this series he has cleared this line twice, falling short by just 4 pts + rebs in the game in which he failed to do so. Siakam has been a steady producer this entire postseason run, there’s no doubt in my mind he will deliver another solid performance in Sunday’s game. Let’s take him to deliver in our Pacers vs Thunder Same Game Parlay.

Alex Caruso 3+ made threes (+480)
To bring home our Pacers vs Thunder Same Game Parlay, let’s aim high with Alex Caruso to get hot from beyond the arc. Although he’s had a pair of bad consecutive games offensively, I still feel like Caruso will have an impact on that end in Sunday’s game. More often than not we’ve seen unlikely heroes step up in moments like these, Caruso doing that wouldn’t shock anyone as he already has Championship experience under his belt from his days with the Los Angeles Lakers. We cannot disregard his ability to time his energy in the limited minutes he plays coming off the bench, which makes his especially effective in high-pressure moments and it doesn’t get higher than this.
Caruso has logged a pair of 20-point performances already in this series and is shooting the three-ball at just over 41% during this postseason, a sharp improvement over his regular-season numbers of 35.3%. Most of the pressure offensively will be on the likes of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jalen Williams here, the two top guns disappointed OKC fans heavily in Game 6. Being a defensive specialist, nobody really expects Caruso to do damage on offense here, so this could be an opportunity for him to get to his numbers while playing below the radar a bit.
