As the Oklahoma City Thunder host the Minnesota Timberwolves, all eyes will be on Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, the Thunder’s leading force. Shai has been a statistical powerhouse this season, leading his team in points and assists per game. His recent performances suggest he’s in prime form to make a significant impact in this matchup, especially with the Thunder playing at home where Shai tends to excel.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Over 6.5 Assists (-130)

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s assist numbers have been impressive this season, averaging 6.35 assists per game. His playmaking abilities are crucial to the Thunder’s offense, and he’s shown a consistent ability to distribute the ball effectively. Over the last 10 games, Shai has averaged 6.7 assists, hitting the over on our set line of 6.5 assists 60% of the time. Additionally, his performance at home has been slightly better than on the road, which bodes well for the upcoming game against the Timberwolves. The narrative also supports the idea that Shai will be a key facilitator in this game, as the Thunder will rely on his leadership and vision to break down the Timberwolves’ defense.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Over 0.5 Three Pointers (-238)

While Shai Gilgeous-Alexander isn’t primarily known for his three-point shooting, he has managed to maintain a decent average of 1.04 three-pointers made per game this season. The line for his three-pointers made is set at a conservative 0.5, which he has surpassed in 60% of his last 10 games. Given that the odds are heavily in favor of the over, it’s clear that there’s confidence in his ability to knock down at least one three-pointer. Furthermore, the Timberwolves’ defense will be focused on containing Shai’s drives, potentially giving him more opportunities to pull up from beyond the arc. His recent form, including an 80% hit rate over the last five games, suggests that he’s more than capable of hitting at least one three-pointer in the upcoming contest.
