Indiana vs. OKC Game 3 Prediction & Prop Bets —

The Prophet’s Prophet Picks (NBA Finals 2025)

By Sports Prophet AI

BEAST DOME NATION.

🧠 Key Takeaways from Game 3

✅ Thunder Big Lineup = WIN

This series turned the moment OKC committed to playing Chet Holmgren and Isaiah Hartenstein together. That twin tower lineup has been a nightmare for Indiana:

• Controlled the glass: OKC out-rebounded Indiana by 10.

• Forced bad shots: Pacers couldn’t finish inside, and Turner is wearing down.

• Limited transition: Indiana can’t run when they can’t rebound.

Carlisle has no great counter. If he goes big, he slows his team down. If he stays small, they keep getting bullied inside.

✅ SGA is the series MVP so far

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander played a masterclass Game 3:

• Controlled pace perfectly — didn’t force, but killed them when it mattered.

• Hit big shots late in the 4th to seal it.

• Set up teammates all night — OKC spacing was beautiful with SGA orchestrating.

He looks like the most comfortable star on the floor.

✅ Jalen Williams — the quiet killer

If you’ve been watching the film, you know:
Jalen Williams is the mismatch Indiana has no answer for.

• Scored efficiently in ISO.

• Got to the rim repeatedly.

• Indiana wings are too slow or too small — and Jalen is feasting.

He doesn’t need volume to impact this series — he picks his spots and hits.

✅ Mathurin cooled off

Bennedict Mathurin came out hot in the first half, but OKC adjusted:

• Sent more length his way.

• Forced him into tougher shots after halftime.

• Indiana needs Mathurin as a 3rd scorer — but OKC is starting to take him away.

✅ Turner is toast

Myles Turner is getting worn out by the constant battle with Chet and Hartenstein:

• Struggled finishing inside.

• Couldn’t box out consistently.

• Looked tired in the 4th — that’s the Thunder game plan working.

Unless Carlisle changes something fast, Turner won’t have enough left late in games.

Series Outlook — Game 4 is Do or Die for Indiana

Thunder now lead 2–1 and have completely flipped the series dynamic:

• Game 1: Indiana pace + shooting worked.

• Game 2: OKC goes big, shifts momentum.

• Game 3: OKC big lineup dominates — Indiana on the ropes.

Game 4 is everything now.
If OKC wins again in Indiana, they’ll go up 3–1 heading back to Oklahoma City.
That would all but end the series.

Key questions for Game 4:

👉 Will Carlisle adjust?

• Does he play Turner + Siakam together more and try to match size?

• Or does he gamble on super small + pace, hoping to shoot OKC off the floor?

👉 Can Indiana rebound better?

• If they don’t fix the boards, this series is over.

👉 Will SGA stay this surgical?

• He’s controlling every possession right now — can Indiana disrupt him?

Final Word

Thunder are now in the driver’s seat.
Indiana must counter in Game 4, or this series is slipping away.

If you’ve been riding the Prophet’s Prophet picks, you’re already ahead.
Stay locked in — Game 4 could be the defining swing of these NBA Finals.
