Williams ended with 27 points (8-18 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 11-11 FT), seven rebounds and three assists in 36 minutes during Friday's 111-104 victory over the Pacers in Game 4 of the NBA Finals.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the way for the Thunder in this comeback win, but Williams was a key contributor in the win with clutch buckets every time the Thunder needed him. Williams has struggled from three in the Finals, going 3-for-16 from beyond the arc, but that hasn't slowed him down, and he has scored over 20 points in the last two contests of the series. Williams should play a pivotal role on offense for the Thunder in Game 5 on Monday.

Siakam registered 20 points (6-15 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 6-8 FT), eight rebounds, five assists, one block and five steals over 35 minutes during Friday's 111-104 loss to Oklahoma City in Game 4 of the NBA Finals.

Tyrese Haliburton and Myles Turner weren't at their best in this game, and while Siakam didn't get as involved as he should have in the final minutes, he still ended as the Pacers' leading scorer. The forward has been outstanding for Indiana in the Finals and has scored at least 19 points in three of the four games. He should play a pivotal role in Game 5 on Monday.

Gilgeous-Alexander finished Friday's 111-104 win over the Pacers in Game 4 of the NBA Finals with 35 points (12-24 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 10-10 FT), three rebounds, one block and three steals across 40 minutes.

Gilgeous-Alexander had a rough showing during the first three quarters, but he stepped up late in the fourth when the Thunder needed him the most and scored 15 of his 35 points in the final frame. Late heroics aside, his scoring contributions were key for Oklahoma City, and the fact that he went 10-for-10 from the charity stripe was also decisive. The star floor general has scored 34 or more points in three of his four games in the Finals, and he'll look to deliver another dominant performance in Game 5 on Monday as the series returns to Oklahoma City.

Wallace will come off the bench Friday during Game 4, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.

Wallace was a starter for the first three games of the NBA Finals. In Game 4, the Thunder will go with more size in the starting lineup, with Isaiah Hartenstein getting the nod. In 16 games in a reserve role during this postseason, Wallace has averaged 5.4 points, 2.7 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.3 steals per game, shooting 40.7 percent from the floor and 32.6 percent from deep.

Hartenstein will be in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Pacers, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.

Hartenstein came off the bench during Game 3 for the third consecutive game. He'll revert to his usual role as a starter with Cason Wallace set to be in the second unit Friday. As a starter throughout this postseason, Hartenstein has averaged 9.2 points, 7.9 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game, shooting 62.2 percent from the field.

According to NBA reporter Marc Stein, Westbrook (hand) will decline his $3.5 million player option for the 2025-26 season.

Westbrook, who is currently recovering from right hand surgery, is expected to be a full go ahead of training camp. In his first season with Denver, the veteran guard compiled averages of 13.3 points, 6.1 assists, 4.9 rebounds, 1.4 steals and 1.3 three-pointers on 44.9 percent from the field across 75 regular-season contests. Westbrook will be turning 37 in November and will likely be looking to latch on with a contender.

Walker (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Thunder.

Walker will miss a fourth straight game due to a right ankle sprain. The next chance for the 21-year-old forward to get back on the floor during the NBA Finals will be Monday for Game 5 in Oklahoma City.

Turner (illness) has been cleared to play in Game 4 of the NBA Finals against the Thunder.

Turner dealt with an illness during Game 3, which cast some doubt on whether he'd be able to play Friday in Game 4. However, the veteran big man will be available for Indiana as the team looks to take a commanding 3-1 lead over Oklahoma City. Turner has played well in the NBA Finals up to this point, averaging 13.3 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 2.7 blocks per game while shooting 42.4 percent from the floor and 28.6 percent from beyond the arc.

Finney-Smith underwent successful surgery on his left ankle and is expected to be ready for training camp, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

Finney-Smith heads into the NBA offseason with a player option on his contract with the Lakers worth $15.3 million. Even after undergoing ankle surgery, he'll likely remain a priority for the Lakers in free agency, whether he decides to opt into his contract or opt out in hopes of getting a long-term deal. After the Nets traded him in December of 2024, the veteran forward played 43 regular-season games for Los Angeles and averaged 7.9 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game, shooting 44.2 percent from the field and 39.8 percent from deep.

Gilgeous-Alexander supplied 24 points (9-20 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and three blocks in 42 minutes during Wednesday's 116-107 loss to the Pacers in Game 3 of the NBA Finals.

By Gilgeous-Alexander's standards, he clearly had an off night. He had a lot of struggles on the defensive end in Game 3, and he couldn't generate much offense when it mattered the most -- he was held to three points on 33.3 percent shooting in the fourth quarter. Game 4 is set for Friday in Indiana with the Thunder trailing 2-1.
