The Indiana Pacers are gearing up for the NBA Finals as major underdogs against the Oklahoma City Thunder, who are favorites to win at -700. Pacers forward Pascal Siakam noted that they have been overlooked throughout the playoffs and are prepared to continue their approach of focusing on themselves. The Pacers overcame challenges in previous playoff rounds, but face an even tougher opponent in the Thunder, led by MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who had a remarkable season.
"I don't think we expect anyone to pick us," Pacers forward Pascal Siakam said at NBA Finals media day Wednesday afternoon. "It's been that way the whole playoffs."
"They're historically great on both sides of the ball," Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton said. "They have the MVP. There's so many different things you could name down the list."
