Gilgeous-Alexander is primed to rack up assists, but I’m comfortable fading his points prop in Game 7. After all, he’s only gone past this O/U number in one of the six contests so far in this series, and he needed 17 free throws to get there.  

Shai averaged 4.3 RPG during the regular season, and his work on the boards will be especially critical when the Thunder go to lineups with just one of Chet Holmgren and Isaiah Hartenstein on the court.

With injuries to Jalen Williams and Ajay Mitchell leaving the Oklahoma City Thunder desperately short of ball-handling, San Antonio has been able to sell out to force the ball out of his hands – and that makes the Shai Gilgeous-Alexander assists tally one of the more attractive props on the board.

He’s dished 9+ dimes in all three home games in these Conference Finals, with OKC role players coming through more reliably at Paycom Center, and I expect a steady diet of SGA drives to set up 3-point looks tonight.
