Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has scored 19-15-12 in the first half of the first three games of this series.

He won this bet by multiple buckets the first two games, and was a bucket away even in Game 3, his worst performance of the series.

Expect a bounce back from a more aggressive MVP early in Game 4.

SGA Averages 14.4 points per game in the first half of playoff games, with a median of 15, and he’s scored 18+ in 37%, which is a surefire win here in almost any game.

He has scored 9+ points in the first half of all but one game, which also gives him a high floor.

Pick: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander First Half Scoring Leader (-125)

[subheader sizedown=”false” text=”Thunder vs. Pacers Game 4 Assists Leader”][/subheader]

[gameheader haspick=”true” picktext=”Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Game 4 Assists Leader (+280)” league=”nba” awaylogo=”https://static.sprtactn.co/teamlogos/nba/100/okc.png” awayname=”Oklahoma City Thunder” awayslug=”oklahoma-city-thunder” homelogo=”https://static.sprtactn.co/teamlogos/nba/100/ind.png” homename=”Indiana Pacers” homeslug=”indiana-pacers” date=”Friday, June 13″ time=”8:30 p.m. ET” network=”ABC” bookname=”BetMGM” bookprimarylogo=”https://assets.actionnetwork.com/779359_BetMGM800x200@1x.png” bookreviewslug=”betmgm”][/gameheader]

Shai assists have swung around a lot but the potentials are there, and he gets dimes when OKC wins. So, this is a good aggressive proxy for an Thunder win since Haliburton assists are also 2-4 lower in losses.

I still think SGA is live for series assists leader if your book is offering a long number, even from 8 back.

The Thunder will adjust and get SGA on the ball, so I expect the MVP to bounce back in a big way.

Pick: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Game 4 Assists Leader (+280)

[gameheader haspick=”true” picktext=”Tyrese Haliburton Over 2.5 Turnovers (-115)” league=”nba” awaylogo=”https://static.sprtactn.co/teamlogos/nba/100/okc.png” awayname=”Oklahoma City Thunder” awayslug=”oklahoma-city-thunder” homelogo=”https://static.sprtactn.co/teamlogos/nba/100/ind.png” homename=”Indiana Pacers” homeslug=”indiana-pacers” date=”Friday, June 13″ time=”8:30 p.m. ET” network=”ABC” bookname=”ESPN BET” bookprimarylogo=”https://images.actionnetwork.com/blog/2023/11/ESPNBET-rect-2colorway-e1700601975338.png” bookreviewslug=”espn-bet”][/gameheader]

Nothing fancy here. Haliburton has recorded 3-5-4 turnovers in the first three games of this series, over this line in all three games.

He’ll be on the ball all game and OKC needs to ramp up defensive intensity to get back control of the series.

Pick: Tyrese Haliburton Over 2.5 Turnovers (-115)

[subheader sizedown=”false” text=”Thunder vs. Pacers Team Total Prop”][/subheader]

[gameheader haspick=”true” picktext=”Pacers Team Total Under 110 Points (-115)” league=”nba” awaylogo=”https://static.sprtactn.co/teamlogos/nba/100/okc.png” awayname=”Oklahoma City Thunder” awayslug=”oklahoma-city-thunder” homelogo=”https://static.sprtactn.co/teamlogos/nba/100/ind.png” homename=”Indiana Pacers” homeslug=”indiana-pacers” date=”Friday, June 13″ time=”8:30 p.m. ET” network=”ABC” bookname=”DraftKings ” bookprimarylogo=”https://assets.actionnetwork.com/477013_DraftKings@1x.png” bookreviewslug=”draftkings”][/gameheader]

The Pacers are 14-0 when scoring 111+ this postseason, but 0-5 when they’re below 111.

This can act as a proxy for an OKC win, with the defense ramping up its intensity with the season on the line.

Pick: Pacers Team Total Under 110 Points (-115)

[subheader sizedown=”false” text=”Thunder vs. Pacers Head-to-Head Assists Prop”][/subheader]

[gameheader haspick=”true” picktext=”Shai Gilgeous-Alexander -1.5 Assists vs. Nembhard (-105)” league=”nba” awaylogo=”https://static.sprtactn.co/teamlogos/nba/100/okc.png” awayname=”Oklahoma City Thunder” awayslug=”oklahoma-city-thunder” homelogo=”https://static.sprtactn.co/teamlogos/nba/100/ind.png” homename=”Indiana Pacers” homeslug=”indiana-pacers” date=”Friday, June 13″ time=”8:30 p.m. ET” network=”ABC” bookname=”BetMGM” bookprimarylogo=”https://assets.actionnetwork.com/779359_BetMGM800x200@1x.png” bookreviewslug=”betmgm”][/gameheader]

Nembhard assists have faded hard, 6-4-1 in the first three games of this series, and the potentials even harder 12-5-3.

He’s turning it over too much and using all his energy defending, so Haliburton and McConnell are getting all the assists.

It looks like he’ll be good for around 2-3 assists in most games moving forward, barring a big change.

SGA assists have been a bit inconsistent, but the potentials are there, and he gets dimes when OKC wins.

If you like Indiana here, probably skip this one. If you don’t have this H2H, you can also just play Nembhard u4.5 assists if you like.

Pick: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander -1.5 Assists vs. Nembhard (-105)
