Top 3 Player Props

• Player Prop #1: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander / Over Points / 30.5 at -110 / 65% / SGA’s 32.1 PPG average and Wizards’ weak perimeter defense (allowing 25+ PPG to guards) support over, with high usage in Holmgren’s absence.
• Player Prop #2: Luguentz Dort / Over 3-Pointers Made / 2.5 at -115 / 58% / Dort’s 40% 3PT shooting vs. Wizards’ poor wing defense (opponents 38% from deep recently) and increased minutes due to injuries favor the over.
• Player Prop #3: Jordan Poole / Under Points / 20.5 at -110 / 62% / Poole’s 18.2 PPG on low efficiency (42% FG) faces Thunder’s top-ranked defense (104.5 rating), limiting scoring in tough matchups per recent trends.

⚖️ Analysis Summary

Public sentiment heavily favors the Thunder, aligning with sharp money indicators and line stability, making a follow on the favorite optimal given the Wizards’ 0-4 ATS start and defensive woes. The simulation reinforces a comfortable Thunder win but a tight spread cover, while offensive ratings (Thunder 118.2, Wizards 110.5) point to a moderate-scoring affair leaning slightly over the total. Injuries to key Thunder players like Chet Holmgren temper the blowout potential, adding value to underdog angles without invalidating the favorite.
