By: Alex Hunter

The Thunder are hosting the Jazz tonight. On DraftKings Sportsbook, Oklahoma City is favored by 16.5 points and this game carries a total of 230.5 points.

Below, I have featured my favorite Shai Gilgeous-Alexander prop bets to consider from this contest.


Best Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander U 1.5 Three Pointers Made (+110)

While Gilgeous-Alexander has been putting up monster numbers, it hasn’t been due to his outside shooting. The two-time All-Star has only hit one three pointer in six straight games. In his nine starts this month, Gilgeous-Alexander is only averaging 1.4 made threes on 4.1 attempts per game, which is a dip from the 5.7 attempts average this season.

Gilgeous-Alexander has been relying on his elite driving and mid-range game, and he should continue to do so against this weak Jazz defense that ranks second-to-last in efficiency. The Thunder are a massive 16.5-point home favorite for this game and the likelihood of them running away with a win is very high, which would cut Gilgeous-Alexander’s minutes short. Oklahoma City was a 16.5-point home favorite over the Nets this past Sunday and the Thunder won by 26 points. Gilgeous-Alexander only played 28.5 minutes and hit one three pointer on four attempts.

A similar result feels likely tonight and at an appealing +110 price, Gilgeous-Alexander needs to be backed for under 1.5 three pointers made on the DraftKings Sportsbook.
