Oklahoma City Thunder vs. Orlando Magic Pick

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander 30+ Points +144. Bet $100 to collect $244. Best odds available at FanDuel (click here)

We're at FanDuel for this one because I can't find player props for this game at DraftKings. I know it's early and I know the Orlando Magic could have guys coming back tonight but whatever. We should at least have the Oklahoma City Thunder side of the ball to pick through. But instead of complaining about it, I'm just going to gamble. When in doubt, that's what always makes me feel better.

Oklahoma City Thunder vs. Orlando Magic Prediction

Here's the thing about this guy SGA. He's an absolute ball hog. I mean that as the highest form of praise I can give a basketball player. If there is any player on the slate that could possibly take 30+ shots tonight, it's this guy. He hasn't played less than 33 minutes in any game this season and he hasn't taken less than 22 shots in any of those games. He's coming off a game where he jacked up 27 attempts. It was in overtime but still.

Taking shots is one thing but making them is entirely different. Lucky for us, SGA is making shots. The guy is hitting almost half of his attempts from the floor this season and he has yet to miss a free throw. In five games played so far, he's scored at least 30 in three of them. One of the times he didn't make it, he dropped 28 so he was right there. Had the Thunder been shooting free throws at the end of that game, he would have gotten home (probably).

Tonight the Thunder are favored over the visiting Orlando Magic which is a good thing. Obviously, it would be nice if we had a couple of attempts at freebies at the end of the game but we probably won't even need them. The Magic are fresh off of a smackdown from Luka Doncic where he hung 44. SGA isn't Luka but he also doesn't need to go 40+ to get home here. He just has to do what he's done three times in five attempts already this season. I think he gets it done tonight.
