60 of the 65 expert predictions we found are picking the Oklahoma City Thunder to win the 2025 NBA Finals over the Indiana Pacers.
Scoreboard Page: We haven’t seen any NBA Finals predictions this lopsided since the 73-9 Golden State Warriors had a 45-8 edge over the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2016. We were one of the eight who took the Cavs – and we were right. These Thunder aren’t those Warriors – yet. But the only two NBA Cup runner-ups – ever – could become the Warriors-Cavaliers of this era. We’ll wait on our Indiana upset pick until next year’s rematch like we did with Cleveland. Here’s hoping the Pacers make it exciting before they ultimately fall. Thunder in 6.
