The Thunder and Suns continue their first-round series with Game 2 on Wednesday in Oklahoma City. On DraftKings Sportsbook, the Thunder are favored by 17.5 points and the game carries a total of 216.5 points.

Let’s dive into my favorite Shai Gilgeous-Alexander player prop for Wednesday’s contest.

Best Shai Gilgeous-Alexander prop bet on DraftKings Sportsbook

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander U 1.5 Made Three-Pointers (-130)

Gilgeous-Alexander is averaging 1.7 made three-pointers while shooting 38% from distance this season. He has only hit one trey in his last two matchups with the Suns. Phoenix’s defense is designed to stop the outside shot.

In Sunday’s Game 1 vs. the Suns, the Thunder only shot 30% on three-pointers as a team. This season, Phoenix is allowing the fourth-fewest made three-pointers per game (12.2) on the second-lowest percentage in the league (34.7%).

Specifically to point guards, the Suns are giving up the second-fewest made three-pointers per game (2.8). Gilgeous-Alexander prefers to do most of his damage in the paint, anyways, and the superstar should fall short of 1.5 made three-pointers in Game 2.
