Pacers vs. Thunder odds: 1 bettor will win almost $900,000 if Indiana wins the 2025 NBA Finals

The Indiana Pacers have been one of the great underdog stories in recent NBA history, making the 2025 NBA Finals with 66-1 odds to win the title at BetMGM heading into the playoffs. They have won a remarkable nine games outright as an underdog and are a very profitable 13-7 against the spread in the postseason.

It’s a surprise to some the Finals are tied at 2-2 with the Pacers looking pretty equal to the top-seeded Oklahoma City Thunder.

While the Pacers entered the NBA Finals as huge +500 underdogs to the Thunder, one bettor was a believer before the Finals even began — and stands to win almost $900,000 if the Pacers can finish off their improbable run and win the franchise’s first NBA championship.

A bettor in Colorado placed a wager of $127,667 on the Pacers to win the title at +700 odds at Fanatics Sportsbook before Game 6 of the Eastern Conference finals against the New York Knicks on May 31. The wager would win $893,669 if Indiana can win two of the remaining three games in the Finals.

The Pacers are 9.5-point underdogs in Game 5 in Oklahoma City on Monday night and currently have +450 odds to win the finals at BetMGM.

 One bettor in Colorado is a mighty big Pacers fan right now.
