Best Shai Gilgeous-Alexander prop bets for Thunder vs. Cavaliers

The Thunder look to win their 16th game in a row against the powerhouse Cavaliers on Wednesday evening. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has been the catalyst for this sizzling stretch and is currently the favorite to win MVP.

On DraftKings Sportsbook, Oklahoma City is currently a 2-point underdog, with the game’s point total set at 227. Below, I’ve honed in on my favorite player prop centered around SGA in this potential Finals preview.

Best Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Over 31.5 Points (-115)

For three seasons, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has essentially been the same hyper-efficient scorer. He’s a premier offensive hub who controls the entire flow of a game. SGA’s stop-and-start attack style at the top of the key helps him knife through defenses and effortlessly get to the cup. His game is unorthodox yet unstoppable.

Despite not having a signature postseason moment, SGA has shined against elite competition. This is a battle of the best records in the league and another chance for the budding superstar to show out in front of a national audience. If SGA wants to reach the apex, it’s matchups like this where he needs to excel.

He’s scored at least 32 points in six of his last eight outings, including a trio of 40-point efforts. Even when the shot isn’t falling, his ability to get to the line dramatically raises his floor. SGA lives above this line and will put his foot on the gas on primetime.

The Massachusetts native was commenting on his sports video games by the time he could tie his shoes and fantasized about turning his favorite hobby into his future career. He might not have grown tall enough to be an elite stretch-five who could rock the rim, but this content-creating thing is a decent second option.
