Game 4 of the 2025 NBA Finals features the Indiana Pacers hosting the Oklahoma City Thunder, with the Pacers leading the series 2-1. A victory for the Thunder would equalize the series and restore their home-court advantage, while a Pacers win puts them a game away from their first championship. Analysts are speculating whether Thunder coach Mark Daigneault will make lineup adjustments, especially concerning struggling starter Cason Wallace. There's consideration of integrating a more effective double-big lineup to enhance both defense and offense during this critical matchup.
The Thunder are +7 with the double-big lineup of Isaiah Hartenstein and Chet Holmgren on the floor together. However, they’ve only shared the court for 10 minutes of play between three games.
In three finals games, Wallace is 0-6 from beyond the arc and has 17 total points, raising questions about his effectiveness as a starter. Adjustments may be needed.
A win for the Thunder ties the series 2-2 and gives them home-court advantage again, adding to the pressure for head coach Mark Daigneault to make tactical changes.
If the Pacers take Game 4, they will be one win away from their first NBA championship, which significantly raises the stakes for both teams.
