Best Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Player Props Bets vs. the LA Clippers
As the Oklahoma City Thunder host the LA Clippers, all eyes are on Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who has been a driving force for the Thunder’s impressive season. With the Clippers potentially missing key player Paul George due to illness, Gilgeous-Alexander’s performance could be pivotal in securing a win for the Thunder. His ability to impact the game on both ends of the floor will be crucial in this high-stakes Western Conference matchup.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Over 11.5 Rebounds & Assists (-166)
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s over on Rebounds & Assists is a compelling pick for several reasons. Statistically, he has been averaging 12.08 combined rebounds and assists per game this season, which is slightly above the line set at 11.5. Moreover, his performance at home has been consistent, with an average of 12.42 in this category, indicating a strong likelihood of him hitting the over. The absence of Paul George from the Clippers lineup could also lead to more rebounding opportunities for Gilgeous-Alexander, as George is a strong rebounder for his position. Additionally, Gilgeous-Alexander’s role as a facilitator for the Thunder’s offense should not be underestimated, as he has been averaging 6.42 assists per game. With the Clippers missing a key defensive piece, there’s a good chance that Gilgeous-Alexander will have more opportunities to dish out assists to his teammates, further increasing the likelihood of the over hitting on this prop.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Over 31.5 Points (-145)
Choosing the over on Points for Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is a strategic bet, especially considering his scoring prowess this season. He’s been averaging 30.71 points per game, just shy of the 31.5 line, but his recent form suggests he could surpass this threshold. In the last five games, his average has increased to 33.2 points, showing an upward trend in his scoring. With the Clippers potentially without Paul George, a primary defensive asset, Gilgeous-Alexander may find more room to operate and score. Narrative-wise, this game holds significance for Gilgeous-Alexander, as he faces his former team. Players often have a little extra motivation in such matchups, which could translate into a more aggressive offensive approach. Given his role as the Thunder’s primary scorer and the likelihood of increased offensive responsibilities in George’s absence, the over on Points for Gilgeous-Alexander is a promising pick.
