✅ Alex Caruso Over 1.5 made 3-pointers (+145 via BetMGM) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

🔥 Alex Caruso Over 1.5 made 3-pointers ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Caruso has made multiple 3-pointers in three of his last four outings, with the lone exception being a 10-minute cameo during the Game 2 blowout. He's been playing important minutes for Oklahoma City down the stretch, rewarding Mike Daigneault's faith in him while contributing for his coach at both ends of the floor.

If Caruso clears this line for a fifth time in eight appearances, bettors will reap the rewards. A $10 winning wager returns $14.50 in profit at our best sports betting sites.

✅ Best odds: +145 via BetMGM (bet $10 to win $14.50 profit)

🔥 Nikola Jokic Under 51.5 points, rebounds, and assists ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Jokic has been producing some superhuman performances this postseason, but he's only gone Over 51.5 points, rebounds, and assists twice across 11 games. The Thunder have held him to a modest 21.3 points per game on 33% shooting over the last three contests, limiting his PRA potential.

We'll continue to confidently fade the three-time NBA MVP, as he's only cashing the Over at an 18.2% clip during the NBA playoffs. The odds at our best sports betting apps imply a 54.55% chance Jokic goes Under in Game 5.

✅ Best odds: -120 via DraftKings (bet $10 to win $8.33 profit)
