The Oklahoma City Thunder are coming off a win over the Detroit Pistons on Saturday night behind 48 points from MVP favorite Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.

Now, the Thunder have a quick turnaround on Sunday against the Milwaukee Bucks, but they have not listed SGA on the injury report.

SGA hasn't missed many games this season, but he did sit out for rest back on March 7. Oddsmakers have the Thunder are favored in this game, a good sign for bettors since this is prime matchup in the prop market for Gilgeous-Alexander.

Here's a look at how to bet on him in the prop market if he's able to go on Sunday.

Best Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Prop Bet for Thunder vs. Bucks

Odds via DraftKings Sportsbook.

• Shai Gilgeous-Alexander OVER 34.5 Points (-105)

Earlier this season, SGA scored 34 points in less than 23 minutes in a blowout win over Milwaukee, and the Bucks rank dead last in the NBA in points per game allowed to the point guard position.

There may not be a better matchup for the MVP favorite in the entire league. Plus, fresh off of a 48-point game on Saturday night, SGA is averaging 35.4 points per game since the All-Star break (12 games). He’s worth a shot in this market in what could be a high-scoring affair.
