Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has scored at least 30 points in the last four games and 8 of his last 9 games. This season, Alexander ranks fourth in the league at 30.3 points per game on 51.0 FG%. However, in two games vs. the Bucks last season, the OKC star averaged 17.5 points on 36.4%. The Bucks understand that they need to hold Gilgeous-Alexander below his season average for them to have a better chance of winning the match. However, the Bucks must not forget that Gilgeous-Alexander is more than a scorer. He can impact the game in so many ways with his passing and rebounding. The dude is averaging 6.3 assists and 5.5 rebounds per game this season, so you know he can still stuff the stats sheet without pouring 30+ points. Our betting prediction for the OKC Thunder vs. Milwaukee Bucks: Gilgeous-Alexander 40+ on points + rebounds + assists.
