1. Shai Gilgeous‑Alexander OVER 31.5 points (‑115)

  • League scoring champ at 32.7 PPG this season and has cleared 31.5 in each of his last two playoff outings.

  • Minnesota’s scheme drops bigs and funnels drives; SGA averaged 34.0 PPG in the three regular‑season meetings.

2. Anthony Edwards OVER 6.5 rebounds (+104)

  • Edwards’ rebounding ticked up versus small‑ball lineups—he’s 5‑of‑7 to the over this postseason.

  • Thunder play two skinny 7‑footers and switch a ton, pulling Minnesota’s bigs away from the rim and leaving boards for Ant.

3. Rudy Gobert UNDER 9.5 points (‑120)

  • OKC will stick Chet on Towns and leave Isaiah Hartenstein to roam; Gobert’s touches shrink against that look (averaged 8.9 PPG in season series).

  • Bettors are pounding this number; a four‑star play from SBR’s prop sheet.

4. Chet Holmgren OVER 1.5 made 3‑pointers (+160)

  • Minnesota’s twin‑tower frontline dares stretch‑5s to shoot—Holmgren was 6‑for‑15 from deep across the regular‑season matchup set.

5. Mike Conley OVER 3.5 assists (‑120)

  • High pick‑and‑roll volume vs. OKC’s drop coverage keeps the ball in his hands; he’s logged 4+ dimes in 10 of his last 12 playoff games.

Quick slate notes

  • Pace projects to be league‑average (OKC 14th, MIN 22nd), but both offenses create plenty of half‑court actions that feed these specific stat categories.

  • Lines can move quickly on playoff days—confirm prices and limits before locking anything in.

  • As always, bet responsibly and in accordance with your bankroll plan. Good luck! Don’t forgot to share The Bettor Briefing with your friends!
