SportsLine expert Matt Severance reveals his NBA bets and predictions for Monday's Game 5 of Oklahoma City Thunder vs. Indiana Pacers in the NBA Finals 2025

The ratings are down for these NBA Finals, as was expected. Oklahoma City vs. Indiana is a small-market series and the numbers reflect that, with viewership down about 20% from last season and on pace for the poorest TV turnout since the pandemic “bubble” finals in 2020.

The NBA Finals continue tonight, as the Indiana Pacers host the Oklahoma City Thunder for Game 4. Indy leads the best-of-seven series 2-1.
