Data scientist Stephen Oh reveals his NBA Finals betting strategy for Thunder vs. Pacers, including a series pick that returns +220

The Thunder went 68-14 in the regular season en route to the No. 1 overall seed in the Western Conference and also were a cash cow for bettors, compiling a 55-23-4 mark against the spread — the best ATS mark for any team in the past 35 seasons. Oklahoma has struggled ATS in the postseason, though, going just 7-9 ATS.

Oklahoma City won both meetings versus Indiana this season by 6 and 21 points (120-114, 132-111). Chet Holmgren did not play in either meeting this season and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 33 and 45 points on the Pacers with 8 assists and 7 rebounds in each game.
