The two-time MVP took 23 and 24 shots in the first two games, respectively. He has since averaged 17 shots per game, despite handling the ball more often. It is no coincidence SGA has now cleared this prop in four of five games, falling short by only the hook in Game 4 and averaging 9.8 assists per game. Oklahoma City needs the ball in his hands, while the San Antonio Spurs are able to devote the defensive pressure to force it out of his hands.

San Antonio put up 114 points in Game 5 despite shooting below their standard, thanks to generating 92 shot attempts. Back at home, I’d expect better efficiency from the Spurs, especially if they continue to get lots of quality looks. On the other side, Oklahoma City has topped 120 points in three of the last four games. The Spurs have also gone Over in nine of their last 10 games, with those contests averaging 227.4 combined points
