Best Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
SGA 50+ Points + Rebounds + Assists (+200)
Right now, there isn’t a better offensive engine in basketball than Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. The Thunder’s franchise cornerstone is a master of tempo and having his squad play at his pace—shades of fellow Canadian Steve Nash. Last year’s MVP runner-up stuffs the stat sheet, doing whatever he needs to elevate a young OKC roster.
SGA averages over 30 points a game, but is still an underrated scorer. He gets to the rim in a flash and drives with a purpose beyond kicking out and beyond the arc. That’s not to say he isn’t a great passer; he’s a wizard out of pick and roll and a willing distributor. With the team thin in the frontcourt, he uses his 6’6″ frame to help crash the glass.
This line appears a bit high, but he hit the 50 threshold two games ago against Dallas. In such a significant spot, SGA should have the ball a ton with the volume to make this happen.
