• Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Over 31.5 Points (-118)

My NBA player prop bets include Shai Gilgeous-Alexander over 31.5 points. Bettors were hard done by in Game 1 when coming up one point short, but he didn’t try hard to score in the final 5-6 minutes with the game won. Load up and fire again on SGA, who was named league MVP on Wednesday.

• Rudy Gobert Over 7.5 Points (+104)

I’m not sure what’s going wrong with Rudy Gobert. He is playing terribly, but the 6.5-point line is too low to pass up. The French international should have no problem scoring in the paint, and it’s all about attitude for him. The latest NBA betting news suggests he’ll bounce back.

• Luguentz Dort Over 1.5 Made 3-Pointers (-137)

My NBA prop picks include Luguentz Dort over 1.5 made 3-pointers. He made only one 3 in Game 1, but he had only three attempts. I expect him to get more looks in Game 2 as he’s a 41.2% shooter.
