Expect the Thunder to stymie Haliburton offensively and run Indiana off the three point line while Williams should have plenty of room to operate against a porous Indiana defense.
SGA Over 7.5 Assists 6t3t38
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had a great series against Minnesota, posting averages of 31.4 points, 8.2 assists, and 5.2 rebounds per game.
NBA sportsbooks give him +115 odds to record over 7.5 assists tonight.
He recorded eight or more assists in four of his five games against the Timberwolves and will face a much weaker Indiana defense tonight. Indiana likes to play at a high tempo, allowing for more scoring opportunities on both sides.
The Pacers will likely mix up coverages and show SGA multiple defenders at times in an attempt to get the ball out of his hands, leading to more opportunities for assists.
Shai should have no trouble clearing this figure and raking in some easy money for bettors.
