Here we go! The Oklahoma City Thunder host the Indiana Pacers in Game 1 of the NBA Finals!

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander aims to conclude a remarkable season on a high note. The reigning MVP guided the Thunder to an impressive 68-14 regular season, striving to secure Oklahoma City’s first NBA championship since the team’s relocation from Seattle.

Standing in Shai’s path is a potential team of destiny. Although the Pacers are entering the Finals as significant underdogs — currently +475 to win the series on DraftKings — Tyrese Haliburton and his squad have charged through the playoffs with an undeniable swagger, overcoming the Milwaukee Bucks, Cleveland Cavaliers, and New York Knicks.

Will the Pacers manage to upset the Thunder, or will Oklahoma City’s formidable season culminate in a championship victory? Only time will tell. Here’s how to watch the 2025 NBA Finals live online.
