NBC Sports Bet Best Bet
Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) likes Shai Gilgeous-Alexander to keep cooking against the Lakers”
“SGA is a household name now after finishing 2nd in MVP voting last season, but lately he’s been the talk of the league with his scoring.
With Chet Holmgren out over the last eight games, SGA has averaged 33.7 points per game over that span, going from 5-3 to over 30.5 points. He made at least 19 field goal attempts in all eight games and 10 or more free throw attempts in five of those eight games.
The volume is there and given that this is a prime time game, SGA has another chance to build its MVP campaign against a popular team like the Lake Show. I played SGA to score 30+ points at -120 and I was going 31.5.”
