Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, OKC, Over 13.5 rebounds + assists (-130)
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has willed the Oklahoma City Thunder to the #1 seed in the Western Conference but is one game away from being sent home. During this series against the Dallas Mavericks, the Mavericks plan of letting complimentary pieces beat them has worked well. Luguentz Dort is shooting 11/34 from deep this series, and as a 34% career 3-point shooter, the Mavericks are living with that. Cason Wallace and Isaiah Joe are seeing extended time as Josh Giddey has been schemed out of this series – which helps Alexander’s playmaking.
Alexander’s rebounds upside this series give this player prop line great value. He’s averaging nine rebounds per game while averaging over 15 rebounds chances. Alexander not defending Luka Donic and Kyrie Irving on the perimeter has lifted his rebounds line to 7.5.
