Introduction
The video introduces the NBA Finals series between the Indiana Pacers and the Oklahoma City Thunder, highlighting game one. The content creator shares his best picks, including a player prop, a series pick at +4000 odds, and his predictions for the side and total in the game. He also mentions his recent success with NBA picks and an underdog slip.
Underdog Fantasy
The content creator promotes Underdog Fantasy, encouraging viewers to sign up using the code "COS" for a $1,000 deposit match and a free pick for SGA to get one point. He lists the states where Underdog Fantasy is available and urges viewers to take advantage of the offer.
Favorite Player Prop: Andrew Nemhard Over 10.5 Points
The content creator's favorite player prop for game one is Andrew Nemhard over 10.5 points. He believes Nemhard is a key X-factor for the Pacers, especially with Tyrese Haliburton likely facing tough defense. Nemhard's past performance against the Thunder, his three-level scoring ability, and his defensive role on SGA contribute to this pick. The content creator anticipates a fast-paced game where Nemhard can capitalize on open opportunities and potentially score 15-20 points.
Series Prop: Pascal Siakam to Lead in Threes at +4000
The content creator suggests a series prop bet on Pascal Siakam to lead the NBA Finals in three-pointers at +4000 odds, recommending a small 0.1 unit play. While Siakam isn't known as a primary three-point shooter, the Thunder's defense tends to concede spot-up shots, potentially creating opportunities for him. In past matchups against the Thunder, Siakam has shot well from beyond the arc. The content creator believes Siakam's odds are undervalued compared to other players and sees potential for hedging later in the series.
Game and Series Predictions
The content creator leans towards the Pacers +9.5 in game one and the over 5.5 games in the series at +125 odds. He believes the Pacers are being underestimated and have the potential to steal two games from the Thunder. The Pacers' ability to limit turnovers and their deep roster of contributors could pose a challenge to the Thunder's defense. While he still expects the Thunder to win the series, he anticipates it going to five or six games.
Underdog Fantasy Picks and Wife's Pick
The content creator revisits Underdog Fantasy, highlighting Pascal Siakam to make threes and fading Haliburton for points while backing Nemhard for points. He also shares his wife's pick: Miles Turner under 13.5 points, citing Turner's struggles on the road and a tough matchup.
Final Picks and Outro
The content creator summarizes his official picks: Andrew Nemhard over in points for game one and a sprinkle on Pascal Siakam as the three-point leader in the finals. He expresses hope for a competitive series and mentions the possibility of a ladder challenge later on. He encourages viewers to share their picks and concludes the video.
