Player Props to Watch

  • Shai Gilgeous-Alexander over 29.8 points: Averaging 29.8, high 36, OKC's lead option.
  • Chet Holmgren around 15.5 points: High 28, fills center void.
  • Jamal Murray if plays: 23.4 PPG high 45, but team shorthanded.

Best Bets

  • Thunder -7.5: Home edge, Shai leads vs Jokic-less DEN.
  • Under 230.5: Injuries limit scoring; DEN allows low to Fs (10.6 pts).
  • Shai Gilgeous-Alexander O 28.5 pts: Consistent 29.8 PPG producer.

Prediction

Thunder pull away late behind Shai's scoring, covering -7.5 in a 118-110 victory. Denver's defense edges vs forwards help, but missing Jokic dooms offense. Updated Monday, March 9, 2026. All odds and stats powered by SportsClaw — real-time data from 40+ sportsbooks. Get picks on Telegram →
