The Thunder are hosting the Nuggets for a win-or-go-home Game 7 in Oklahoma City on Sunday. On DraftKings Sportsbook, the Thunder are favored by eight points and Game 7 presents a total of 215 points.

Below, I have featured my favorite Shai Gilgeous-Alexander player prop to consider for tonight’s Game 7.

Best Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander O 5.5 Rebounds (+100)

At plus money, this feels like an excellent line for Gilgeous-Alexander to go over. The guard is seeing elevated playing time in the playoffs, averaging 36.7 minutes per game, compared to 34.2 minutes per game in the regular season. Naturally, SGA’s rebounding numbers have improved with the extra playing time, with the guard averaging 6.2 rebounds per game this postseason.

Gilgeous-Alexander is averaging 11.3 rebound chances per game, which ranks third for the Thunder, only trailing their two big men Chet Holmgren and Isaiah Hartenstein. With Oklahoma City playing to keep their season alive in Sunday’s Game 7, he should see 40+ minutes barring a huge blowout, putting him in a great position to surpass 5.5 rebounds. When SGA has received at least 40 minutes this season, he is averaging 9.0 rebounds per game (three games).
