The next NBA player prop bet our betting bot recommends playing comes in the Pacers vs Thunder game, with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander showing value in the total points made prop market.
So far throughout this series SGA has been able to rack up a total of 32.8 points per game. He has been able to exceed this line in 2/4 games, falling one point short from having a 3/4 record. With the Thunder back at home tonight, our model suspects that SGA will be launching the ball from all over the court, leading to him exceeding this line. In their first two games with the Thunder at home, SGA exceeded this line, giving us confidence in this particular wager.
The Basketball Forever betting bot predicts Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Over 34.5 Points in tonight’s game, which gives us a 7.1% edge on the 115 odds.

According to our model, the last best player prop bet for today’s NBA slate also takes place in the Pacers vs Thunder game, with Tyrese Haliburton showing value in the total 3-pointers made prop market.
Throughout the series, Haliburton has been able to average a total of 2.5 3-pointers made per game, with him exceeding this line in 2/4 matchups and falling one 3-pointer short of making it 3/4 games. After falling short in their last matchup, only making 1/7 3-pointers, our model suspects that Haliburton will be hot tonight, sinking a lot of his 3-pointer attempts.
Our Basketball Forever betting bot recommends placing a wager on Tyrese Haliburton Over 2.5 3-Pointers Made, with an edge of 4.9% at +100 odds.
