We’re back with another NBA Finals 2025 Parlay. This time we’re not going for a Moneyline as it could go either way with both teams having equal wins both at home and on the road. Instead, we’re going with a 5-leg Parlay that focuses on player props. Let’s take a look at our Game 5 Parlay and breakdown why we have decided to go with each leg.
Player Props Picks
Everything hangs in the balance in Game 5 of the NBA Finals, and while the odds have swung confidently in favor of the Thunder, who have the momentum, we wouldn’t be so quick to write off the Pacers. The OKC Thunder are the 9.5-point favorites to win this one, which feels a tad overpriced given that it was only the 4th quarter when their defensive game fell apart.
We don’t want to call any moneylines or spread bets here. Whatever the outcome, game 5 should be a tale of personal triumphs and heroics, and we think therein lies the best betting angle. Our experts have gone with the following player props betting picks.
Tyrese Haliburton
Haliburton has shown he needs to score some big points if the Pacers want to win
Haliburton continues to be the dominant force for the Pacers and an essential player who needs to score big numbers if the Pacers want to stand a chance against the Thunder in Game 5. In the last 2 Finals games, Halibuton has averaged 20 points and will likely want more with a lot on the line.
Our betting parlay starts with the Pacers’ key man. But, unfortunately, Haliburton cannot take down the Thunder on his own. He will require his right hand man to score some big numbers as well.
T. Haliburton to Score 20+ Points @ +162
Pascal Siakam
Siakam needs to prove he is the Eastern Conference MVP in Game 5
After being an essential role player for the Pacers and winning the Eastern Conference MVP Award, Siakam has massively stepped up for Indiana and can be the one to really make a difference in Game 5. Similarly to Haliburton, Pascal Siakam has averaged just above 20 PPG in the last two games, showing that it is possible for the Pacers main duo to carry the team.
The odds on 20+ points for Siakam are lengthy and come at good value. However, we won’t finish there. There will likely be one other player on the Pacers who will put in the work at the three-point line.
P. Siakam to Score 20+ Points @ +102
Andrew Nembhard
Can Nebhard use his fancy footwork to find space?
Andrew Nembhard has shown he has a lot of skill both on and off the ball. This allows him to find great opportunities around the perimeter to score big points in clutch moments. As the Playoffs and the Finals series has progressed, we’ve seen him grow in confidence – he will be a key role-player in Game 5.
A. Nembhard to Record 2+ Threes @ +154
Chet Holmgren
It will be back to basics for Holmgren in Game 5
In our last Parlay, we had Chet to record just 6 rebounds and he exceeded that massively by getting into the double digits. As the largest player on the Thunder, he is one of the only players who can utilise for paint dominance. A game 5 win will be essential for OKC if they want to win at home, so it’s likely they’ll go back to basics and utilise Holmgren for what he does best… rebounds.
C. Holmgren to Record 8+ Rebounds @ -250
Alex Caruso
Can Caruso be the 6th Man that OKC need to win a Championship?
For the final leg or our parlay, we have Alex Caruso recording 4+ assists. As a bench player, this one is slightly risky. However, Caruso showed his point by generating effectiveness in Game 3 and 4. Although he may not be the most effective at getting buckets, he is usually involved in the play if he is on the court. The Pacers have shown they can equal the Thunder in 4 games and both teams will need to pull out all the stops to win. Caruso could be that little extra push that the Thunder need. If OKC do choose to play Caruso, it’s more than likely he will get the team a few points through assists.
A. Caruso to record 4+ Assists @ +210
