INDIANAPOLIS (WNDU) - The Indiana Pacers will begin the NBA Championship series in Oklahoma City Thursday night as huge underdogs.
After beating the New York Knicks in six games to advance to the finals, not many in the gambling industry are giving the Pacers much of a chance to win the championship.
Several major betting platforms have listed the Pacers with +500 odds or more, meaning they are considered significant underdogs.
In fact, the Pacers are considered the biggest underdogs in the NBA Championship series since 2018 when the Cleveland Cavaliers played Golden State.
Oklahoma City is an overwhelming favorite to win the series, with many of the sports betting platforms picking the Thunder to win it all in five games.
