With the Western Conference Semifinals tied 2-2, the Oklahoma City Thunder return home to host the Denver Nuggets in a pivotal Game 5 on Tuesday night. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has been the engine behind Oklahoma City’s success. With MVP-level expectations, he’ll be counted on to deliver again as the series shifts back to Paycom Center.
Here’s the top Gilgeous-Alexander prop bet on DraftKings Sportsbook for Game 5.
Best Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Prop Bet on DraftKings Sportsbook
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Over 45.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-115)
Gilgeous-Alexander is averaging 27.6 points, 6.6 rebounds and 6.6 assists across eight playoff games in 2025, and he’s been even more productive in this series. He opened the matchup with a 33-point and 34-point effort in Games 1 and 2 at home. On the road in Denver, SGA still put up a respectable 25-6-6 line in Game 4.
He’s cleared 45.5 combined PRA in three of his last five games and continues to benefit from Oklahoma City’s deep rotation and up-tempo style. Meanwhile, Denver is showing signs of fatigue. Nikola Jokic has shot just 33.3% over the last three games, and the Nuggets have leaned on a seven-man rotation with limited bench production.
“This series has thrown so many random things at us, so many things that are unexpected or out of the norm,” Gilgeous-Alexander said. “I think we’ve done a really good job of just accepting where we are and not straying from who we are and who we’ve been all season.”
Expect another high-usage night for Gilgeous-Alexander in a game that will likely define the series. His ability to get downhill, draw contact and impact the game in multiple ways makes this a strong bet to target.
With the Thunder returning home and looking to regain control of the series, Gilgeous-Alexander can again eclipse the 45.5 PRA mark.
