My Mavericks vs. Thunder player props for today focus on Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Anthony Davis, and Cooper Flagg.

The Thunder enter as a 15-point betting favorite, with tipoff from Paycom Center in Oklahoma City set for 9:30 p.m. ET (Prime Video). I’m looking to stay hot after going 19-5 on my last 24 NBA best bets.

Search the best NBA player prop odds for any team or player across every market from legal sportsbooks in your area.

⬆️ Shai Gilgeous-Alexander player prop: Over 31.5 points (-114) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Gilgeous-Alexander has scored 37 or more points in four of his last five games.

The favorite in the NBA MVP odds is coming off a 38-point showing in Tuesday’s win over the Golden State Warriors. While he finished with just 23 points in the Oct. 27 victory against the Mavericks, he shot an uncharacteristic 10-of-22 (45.5%) from the field and 1-of-3 (33.3%) from deep - something that’s unlikely to repeat today.

DraftKings’ -114 odds for Gilgeous-Alexander to score 32-plus points are the best available and carry an implied probability of 53.27%. A $10 winning bet would profit $8.77.

⬆️ Anthony Davis player prop: Over 2.5 assists (-160) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

The Mavericks lack a true point guard, with D'Angelo Russell - who is featured in Shane Thurston's NBA player props - leading the team with 4.5 assists (min. 11 games played). However, Davis has quietly been helping to bridge the gap.

He has cashed this prop in three straight games, including a four-assist showing against the Miami Heat on Wednesday. Looking at a broader sample, Davis has recorded three or more assists in six of his eight games this season, hitting at a 75% rate.

These -160 odds at BetMGM carry an implied probability of 61.54%, and a $10 winning bet slip would profit $6.25.

⬆️ Cooper Flagg player prop: Over 16.5 points (-109) ⭐⭐⭐

After a slow start to the season, Flagg’s production is finally resembling what you’d expect from a No. 1 pick.

His last three outings: 22 points against the Heat on Wednesday, 24 at the Denver Nuggets on Monday, and 35 at the LA Clippers on Saturday. He’s shooting 32-of-54 (59.3%) from the field over that stretch while averaging 18 field-goal attempts per game.

Flagg’s -109 odds at DraftKings to score 17 or more points carry an implied probability of 52.15%, with a $10 winning ticket profiting $9.17.
