Shai Gilgeous-Alexander remains as one of the leading candidates for the 2025 MVP award. It would be the first of his career, and it would come in a year that the Thunder are dominating.
Oklahoma City is comfortably in first place in the Western Conference and is a favorite to win the NBA championship.
The Thunder will play the Hawks on the road tonight and are 11.5-point favorites. The game total is set at 245 on DraftKings Sportsbook.
Below, I have featured my favorite Gilgeous-Alexander prop bets to consider from this contest.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander to record a triple double (+3000)
We’re getting bold today with Gilgeous-Alexander’s prop bets. The three-time All-Star has two triple doubles in his career, but he’s been close in the past few outings.
In just the past five games, Gilgeous-Alexander has posted stat lines of 24-8-9, 37-8-8 and 39-10-8. While he hasn’t earned a triple double this year, it’s not far-fetched to believe he can do so. At +3000 odds, it’s worth sprinkling a bet on it tonight.
It’s more than just his recent games, however. Gilgeous-Alexander has a favorable matchup against the Hawks tonight. Atlanta plays at the second fastest pace in the NBA, meaning there will be more possessions for Gilgeous-Alexander to rack up stats.
The Hawks also find themselves in the bottom third of the league in both opponents’ rebounding and assists per game. The numbers improve slightly when considering just guards, but they’re still in the bottom third.
This bet is a long shot but given the recent games and a favorable matchup, it’s worth an attempt at +3000.
