The Oklahoma City Thunder made a massive statement with a 149-106 win over the Denver Nuggets in Game 2 as they evened their playoff series at one game apiece. It was a true team effort for OKC as eight players each logged double-digit points, with Jalen Williams finishing second on the team in scoring with 17.
As these teams prepare to battle again tonight, here’s the top Jalen Williams prop bets on DraftKings Sportsbook for Thunder vs. Nuggets Game 3.
Best Jalen Williams prop bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
DraftKings Sportsbook lists Williams’ prop lines at 21.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, 5.5 assists, and 1.5 three-pointers. His combined PTS + REB + AST line is set at 32.5 across the three major categories.
The Thunder enter tonight’s Game 3 as six-point favorites with -245 odds on the Moneyline. They’re listed at -115 to cover the spread, while the game total remains high for the postseason environment at a combined 232 points.
Through a six-game playoff sample so far, Williams averages 21.0 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 5.3 assists for this Thunder team. His field goal percentage looks solid at 48.5%, but his three-point shot isn’t falling reliably at a paltry 24.2%. Outside of his offensive production, he’s also contributing nightly in the defensive categories with 1.0 blocks and 1.3 steals per outing, too.
Tonight, Williams’ assists over could be worth a look based on historic precedent of his past matchups against the Nuggets. In four regular-season contests against Denver, he went over the 5.5-dime mark three times with totals of nine, eight, and six assists in those games. While he only logged four assists in Game 1 of this series, Williams tallied seven dimes in Game 2. What does that tell us?
Whether due to how the Nuggets defend teammate Shai Gilgeous-Alexander or the Thunder’s own game plan of using Williams in a greater facilitating role, it’s clear based on this (small) sample that letting the All-Star wing dish the rock is a point of emphasis. With +124 odds, there’s some nice value to be had here on a relatively low prop bet line.
