NBA Saturday calls for 18 teams in action starting at 5:00 pm ET. Let’s dive into the best NBA player prop bets.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, PG, OKC, Under 1.5 made threes (-104)
Odds available at Caesars Sportsbook at time of publishing.
When thinking of Shai Gilegeous-Alexander’s game, our brain tends to jump to his ability to touch the paint and get to the foul line, not his three-point-making ability. Even though he’s averaging over 31 points per game, he’s making fewer than 1.4 threes while taking less than 4 attempts per game.
Gilgeous-Alexander and the Oklahoma City Thunder will take on the Memphis Grizzlies on the road as more than 10-point favorites. It’s well known that Alexander’s rotation is playing all of the 1st and 3rd quarters while then checking in at around the 6-minute mark of both the 2nd and 4th quarter. I’ll take my chances that Alexander stays under this line for the 40th time in 67 games this season.
