Jalen Green Over 18.5 points (-114)
Green has been a key player in the Suns' offense since early March, jumping from 13.9 points per game in February to 21.8 in March and scoring 20+ points in 15 of his last 21 games.
He has put up 16 or more shot attempts in each of Phoenix's three playoff games, averaging 29.3 points over that stretch. Green Over 18.5 points is -114 at FanDuel, but I would be comfortable playing this up to -140 on the best sports betting sites. I also feature this bet in my NBA player props tonight.
🔥 More Suns vs. Thunder prop picks
The Thunder are the betting favorite in the NBA Finals odds.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Under 29.5 points (-116)
The line is too high given Gilgeous-Alexander’s 25-point performance in Oklahoma City’s Game 1 blowout.
The issue with backing his Over today is the Thunder’s 17.5-point spread—a margin that means they will likely be up big in the fourth quarter, which will limit Gilgeous-Alexander’s minutes. He has scored 25 points or fewer in three straight games as a double-digit favorite.
His Under 29.5 points is -116 at DraftKings, but I would play this up to -135 on the best sports betting apps.
🚀 Suns vs. Thunder same-game parlay
I like Gilgeous-Alexander to score fewer than 29 points, and the easiest way for that bet to cash is if the Thunder are leading by more than 20 after three quarters, meaning Gilgeous-Alexander will play fewer minutes in the fourth. Bet365 offers this parlay at +325, while FanDuel - which is much better at pricing parlays - offers just +187.

💡 How I'm betting Suns vs. Thunder: NBA Playoffs Game 2 strategy
The Thunder are a heavy favorite in this playoff matchup, meaning there’s a strong chance Oklahoma City’s players will slow the game down late and/or play fewer minutes in the fourth quarter. For that reason, I’m leaning toward Suns Overs and Thunder Unders, as the Suns will likely keep their starters in late, even if they have only a 2.5% win probability.
