The Thunder are hosting the Timberwolves on Tuesday. On DraftKings Sportsbook, Oklahoma City is a 6.5-point favorite and this game carries a total of 217 points.
Below, I have featured my favorite Shai Gilgeous-Alexander prop to consider from this contest.
Best Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Prop Bet on DraftKings Sportsbook
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Under 30.5 Points (-120)
Gilgeous-Alexander is averaging just over this number with 31.0 PPG this season, but Tuesday presents a very difficult matchup vs. the Timberwolves. Minnesota ranks sixth in defensive efficiency and 24th in pace this season. Specifically to point guards, the Timberwolves are giving up the fewest points in the NBA to the position.
The Thunder are even better on defense, leading the league in efficiency and this likely low-scoring affair carries the lowest total of the six NBA games on Tuesday at 217 points on the DraftKings Sportsbook.
While betting against Gilgeous-Alexander is never easy, this is arguably the worst possible matchup for him and taking the under on this high 30.5-point prop is the right call.
