Hydro levels of tin foil here. But I’ll entertain your conspiracy theories. If this is the case, as you say, and the Pacers covered ats, then wouldn’t he have done his job that the nba deployed him to do, to help the pacers cover?
since NBA is a 7 game series, they can still fix a couple games against the big market team being favored when its most convenient while still having them i.e. Celtics advance
the biggest piece of revenue NBA gets is advertisements, which leans into the preference of larger markets / figures being in the Finals. there's no way they don't try to manipulate more favorable outcomes for their bottom line, every big $ revenue generating corporation has managers to min/max profits including unethical practices
