The Thunder head to Denver tonight to face the Nuggets. On DraftKings Sportsbook, Oklahoma City is a seven-point favorite and this game’s total is set at 223 points.
Below, I have featured my favorite Shai Gilgeous-Alexander prop to consider from this contest.
Best Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Over 1.5 Three-Pointers Made (-110)
Gilgeous-Alexander has knocked two or more three-pointers in five of his seven starts this season, including a pair of three-pointers in the season-opening win over Denver, who he faces again tonight. Similar to Anthony Edwards, Gilgeous-Alexander has made an effort to be more active from beyond the arc this season, attempting 6.6 three-pointers per game, which is a career-high and almost double his average from last season.
SGA is only shooting just 28% from beyond the arc this season, but he is due for some positive regression in this department, given his career three-point percentage being a whole six percentage points higher (34%).
Opponents are shooting threes at the third-highest rate when facing Denver this season and it should play at a much faster pace than usual tonight –– with Russell Westbrook starting in place of Jamal Murray (concussion).
The Raptors hoisted up 39 three-pointers against the Nuggets with Westbrook starting on Monday –– which was well above their 32.1 average for the season –– and Gilgeous-Alexander is a great bet to surpass this 1.5 three-pointer line on DraftKings Sportsbook tonight.
