Sunday’s Best NBA Player Props & Bets
(Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander 44.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-110)
There's been a difference between Shai Gilgeous-Alexander at home and on the road. He's averaging a combined 45.3 points + rebounds + assists at home in the playoffs and has exceeded this prop in seven of his last 10 home games.
Gilgeous-Alexander is also averaging 33.6 minutes at home this season. With this being a winner-take-all contest for the NBA Championship, we should expect Gilgeous-Alexander to clock in at least 40 minutes. Pressure situations are where the stars shine the brightest, and if the Thunder are hoisting the Larry O'Brien Trophy, it's with the help of their superstar MVP.
Alex Caruso 10+ Points (+100)
With this being a Game 7, we should expect the starters to get a lot of minutes. Each team will want its best on the floor in a pivotal game. The Thunder might rotate a bit more, as they have one of the best benches in the league.
Alex Caruso has been their best player off the bench, averaging 9.2 points per game, while shooting 45.3% in the playoffs. He's been slightly better at home - 9.8 points per game on 47.1% shooting. He has struggled with only two points in the last two games after averaging 14.7 points per game in the first four. This is a great chance at a bounce-back game as long as he gets his usual 20-25 minutes.
Pascal Siakam Over 10.5 Assists + Rebounds (-125)
With Tyrese Haliburton not playing at 100%, the Pacers need someone to step up. They traded for Pascal Siakam so they could have him for an important game like this. He doesn't need to be a scoring threat to make an impact in this lineup, and he's hit this prop in five out of the last six games, with his combined 16 rebounds + assists in Game 6 being a personal playoff best.
Siakiam will see the ball a lot in this game, especially if Haliburton is unable to perform at full strength.
