The Thunder host the Trail Blazers in Oklahoma City on Wednesday. On DraftKings Sportsbook, the Thunder are a 12-point favorite and this game carries a total of 223.5 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 31.5 points (-110)
The Thunder remain without Chet Holmgren (hip) and have lost two games in a row for the first time this season. Oklahoma City desperately needs a win after losing to the Spurs without Victor Wembanyama last night and Gilgeous-Alexander should do everything in his power to get his team a victory Wednesday. The guard has scored at least 32 points in 3-of-5 games without Holmgren this season and with the big man off the court the last two seasons, Gilgeous-Alexander’s usage has skyrocketed 5.8 percentage points to a massive 38.7% and he is scoring 36.4 points per 36 minutes.
The Thunder and Trail Blazers are both top-eight teams in pace this season and Gilgeous-Alexander will also be on his home floor, where he has been about a point better scoring wise throughout his career. Oklahoma City is favored by 12 points for this contest, but the Blazers are a strong bet to cover and Gilgeous-Alexander should see his usual large workload. As noted above, the Thunder have dropped two in a row and they are on the second night of a back-to-back. Meanwhile, Portland has won three straight and they haven’t played since Sunday.
This game should be a competitive affair and not only is Gilgeous-Alexander a strong bet to surpass this 31.5-point line, building a SGP on the DraftKings Sportsbook of him for over 31.5 points with the Trail Blazers +12 is a very appealing parlay at a price of +290.
