Here we go! The Oklahoma City Thunder host the Indiana Pacers in Game 1 of the NBA Finals!

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is looking to put a bow on a historic season. The reigning MVP led the Thunder to an impressive 68-14 regular season record as he tries to help Oklahoma City capture its first NBA title since the team relocated to Oklahoma from Seattle.

Standing in Shai’s way is a potential team of destiny. The Pacers enter the Finals as heavy underdogs — currently +475 to win the series on DraftKings — but Tyrese Haliburton and company have blitzed through the playoffs with an undeniable swagger, defeating the Milwaukee Bucks, Cleveland Cavaliers, and New York Knicks.

Can the Pacers upset the Thunder, or will Oklahoma City’s dominant season end with a championship? Time will tell. Here’s how to watch the 2025 NBA Finals live online.

Game 1 of the NBA Finals starts Thursday, June 5 at 8:30 p.m. ET on ABC and ESPN3.
