💰 Best Thunder vs. Cavaliers prop bet: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Over 32.5 points (-102) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Check out all of our NBA analysis and expert predictions this season.
Gilgeous-Alexander is coming off one of the more efficient shooting nights of his season, and I'm looking for him to turn that over into today. Dropping 39 while shooting 63.2% from the field, Shai is as locked in as ever and has gone over this number twice over his last three games. Cleveland owns the 15th-ranked defense, giving us multiple avenues for this play to cash.
🔥 More Thunder vs. Cavaliers prop picks
Donovan Mitchell Under 26.5 points (-102) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
The equation isn’t complicated here - Spida is facing the league’s top defense and just came off a game where he shifted into full-time playmaker mode for the Cavs. With Darius Garland sidelined, Oklahoma City figures to load up on Mitchell and make him move the ball, setting the stage for another assist-heavy night. At +255, the 8+ assists prop is the angle I like most.
I'm loving Mitchell as part of my best NBA player props today, too.
Jaylon Tyson Over 2.5 3-pointers (+154) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Where did you come from? Tyson exploded for 39 points against the Philadelphia 76ers just a handful of days ago, and is still getting plus-money from FanDuel. Yes, it may have been a flash in the pan, but after shooting 7 of 9 from 3-point land, I'm willing to sprinkle a .5u on him to make three at plus-money tonight. Let's see him back up his career game against the Thunder.
