Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Player Props, Picks
*Odds and projections as of Wednesday morning
According to our NBA player prop picks, the most valuable way to bet on Gilgeous-Alexander in this game is to fade him.
As of the time of writing, we project the Thunder guard for 31.0 points, 5.1 rebounds and 4.9 assists. Considering these numbers, the biggest edge in the Action Labs table is on the under of SGA's points + rebounds + assists total, which is listed at 43.5
The prop, which we estimate at a projected 41.0 rather than the listed number of 43.5, is given a 7/10 rating based on the -115 price listed at BetMGM.
We've already seen two game totals go under in the play-in tournament so far, so this is another way to try to piggyback on that idea.
