🔥 Nikola Jokic Over 13.5 rebounds ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

In Game 6, Jokic pulled down at least 14 rebounds for the fourth time in this series. The only two times he failed to hit this number were when he recorded 13 in Game 4 and when he pulled down just 8 across 32 minutes in Game 2. Based on his success and season-long numbers, it’s incredible we’re still being offered this total.

Jokic averaged 12.7 rebounds per game during the regular season. During the postseason, he’s averaging 13 boards per game despite a rather lackluster series on the glass against the Los Angeles Clippers. He now has at least 13 rebounds in eight of his last nine games against the Thunder, so with such a high floor, this is my play of the game.

🔥 Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Under 1.5 made 3-pointers ⭐⭐⭐⭐

In this series, SGA has made more than a single 3-pointer in just two games, as he’s averaging just 1.2 made threes per contest. He’s yet to make more than 2 in this series, and even in the Thunder’s first-round sweep of the Memphis Grizzlies, he made only a single 3-pointer in two of the four games while never making more than 3 in a single contest.

Maybe because it’s Game 7 and oddsmakers are considering the clutch factor, but this price makes no sense to me. Gilgeous-Alexander is making just 26.9% of his threes in this series, and from Games 2 through 5, he was just 3-of-16. Can he top this number? Of course. After all, he averaged 2.1 made threes per game during the regular season. But for this price, the Under is a must-play based on recent performances.

✅ Best odds: +135 via DraftKings ($10 to win $13.50)

🔥 Jalen Williams Under 19.5 points ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Williams scored a series-low 6 points in Game 6, yet somehow, oddsmakers have not dropped this total. He's struggled considerably in this series, scoring 18 or fewer in five of the six games and shooting just 33.7% from the field.

During the regular season, Williams averaged 21.6 points per game, and he had a 32-point performance in this series. But Game 7 will likely belong to Gilgeous-Alexander, so I'd take his Under even if Williams were playing well. Considering he's been struggling so badly and scored 12 points twice against the Nuggets in the regular season, the price of +100 feels like a gift from oddsmakers.

✅ Best odds: +100 via DraftKings ($10 to win $10)

He is always looking for value, especially on lines that just seem too good to be true. His belief is that if a line doesn't make sense just assume oddsmakers know something you don't. He also loves in-season futures. There is so much value to be had as the public overreacts weekly. Bettors tend to forget just how long NFL and college football seasons are. After all, the Green Bay Packers were 2-5 in 2023 and they made it to the Divisional Round. When deciding where to bet, it comes down to value over everything. +100 is always better than -110. An alumnus of The U, Phil always holds out hope that the next head coach will be the one who turns the football program around. He is also a diehard Detroit Lions fan and is willing to forgive Dan Campbell for forgetting that a kicker can be useful.
