First-Half OVER 122 Total Points -110
The Nuggets failed to get much offensively yesterday, and fell behind in the first half before OKC blew the doors off in the fourth quarter. Both teams actually played excellent defense for long period on Sunday.
But, on the second night of a back-to-back, after having seen each other just over 24 hours ago, I expect the offenses to take over. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander will want to put on another show to stamp his case as the NBA MVP. While Nikola Jokic can only be contained for so long. The Nuggets shot just 30% from three on Sunday, so expect to see some positive shooting variance in tonight's contest. Roll with the first-half OVER 122 points as the first leg of our Nuggets vs Thunder same-game parlay.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander OVER 11.5 Rebounds + Assists -112
Thunder superstar Shai Gilgeous-Alexander continued to his romp to a the NBA MVP award with a 40-point, 8-rebound, 5-assist performance against the Nuggets on Sunday. Mike Malone and the Nuggets are likely to focus on stopping SGA from taking over tonight's contest. Perhaps the Nuggets even steal a page from the Minnesota Timberwolves book and look to blitz Shai with multiple defenders as soon as he touches the ball.
Regardless, Shai will likely be forced to get his teammates more involved on Monday. I love SGA to surpass his 11.5 rebound + assists player prop line. The Hamilton, Ontario native is one of the most unstoppable forces in basketball. Additionally, Shai's cleared this line in four of his last five home contests, while averaging 12 rebounds and assists per game. Mark Daigneault's offense does an excellent job of spreading the floor and creating open looks for the Thunder's plethora of shooters. Back Shai to get his teammates involved again tonight.
Alex Caruso OVER 1.5 Three-Pointers +188
One of the beneficiaries of SGA's passing is role player extraordinaire Alex Caruso. The defensive specialist doesn't take many shots on an OKC team loaded with firepower. However, Caruso has knocked down 50% of three-point attempts over his last 10 games.
Caruso played just 17 minutes on Sunday and launched three treys. If we get similar volume tonight, on his home floor, Caruso will exceed this line with ease. The former Laker will be the man Denver is happy to leave open in the corner as they aim to contain Shai and Jalen Williams. Look for Caruso to knock down at least two threes as the final leg of our Nuggets vs Thunder same-game parlay.
