The NBA Finals between the Thunder and Pacers continue Sunday with Game 2 in Oklahoma City. After winning Game 1 111-110, the Pacers lead the series 1-0. On DraftKings Sportsbook, the Thunder are favored by 11 points for Game 2 and this contest carries a total of 228.5 points.

Below, I have featured my favorite Jalen Williams prop bet to consider from this contest.

Best Jalen Williams Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook

Jalen Williams U 21.5 Points (-110)

The Pacers have given Williams problems this season. After scoring 20 and 18 points in his two matchups with Indiana in the regular season, Williams was held to 17 points in this past Thursday’s Game 1 of the NBA Finals. The Pacers have a strong group of wing defenders to throw at Williams and in this matchup, the forward is shooting 38% from the field, which is a notable difference from his 48% average for the season.

Another factor working against Williams in Game 2 is that the Thunder are an 11-point favorite for this tilt. Oklahoma City has been favored by double-digits five times this postseason and Williams has stayed under 21.5 points in three of these contests. The Thunder bouncing back in Game 2 with an easy win wouldn’t be a surprise in any way, which would likely result in a smaller workload than usual for Williams. All in all, 21.5 points is just too high of a line for Williams for Sunday’s Game 2 and backing him for this under is smart.
