Jalen Williams u21.5 Points (-125)
Williams had a strong 2024-25 season and is just three wins away from adding a championship to his fantastic year. The Thunder were among the favorites to win the NBA Finals before the season started, and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was expected to be an MVP candidate. However, one of the big questions around the team was whether someone could emerge as the clear No. 2 option. The Thunder have a lot of great role players to support Gilgeous-Alexander, but last season, nobody stood out as the clear second best player. This season, Williams has been that guy for Oklahoma City. He made his first career All-Star Game, second team All-Defense and third team All-NBA this season. Now, he is playing a huge role in the postseason as the Thunder look to win a championship.
The NBA Finals is tied at 1-1 heading to Indiana. The Pacers pulled off another incredible comeback, as they have done all postseason, to snatch Game 1 from the Thunder in Oklahoma City. However, the Thunder responded with a dominant Game 2 performance, showing that they are capable of crushing the Pacers if they play their best basketball.
Williams was great in Game 2, despite a poor shooting night. He couldn’t get his shot to go, so he did a solid job of drawing fouls and getting to the free-throw line. He was also fantastic on the defensive end, helping hold the Pacers to 107 points. Williams is a special player because even when he isn’t shooting the ball well, he is still a net-positive.
The prop bet that I am targeting for Game 3 of the NBA Finals is Williams to score under 21.5 points. Williams has been great for the Thunder, but he has not been a big scorer for most of the postseason. He has gone under this number in three straight games, including both NBA Finals games. Dating back to the beginning of the Nuggets series, Williams has had less than 21 points in 10 out of 14 games. Part of the reason for that has been Williams’ struggles from beyond the arc. After shooting over 36.5% from three in the regular season, he is shooting just 30.9% from deep in the postseason. When removing Game 4 against the Timberwolves, where he exploded for six three-pointers, Williams is averaging just 1.3 made three-pointers per game in the postseason. Williams will play a key part in the game as always, but should stay under 21.5 points for the fourth straight game.
