The Thunder's All-Star has hit the Over on this 6.5-assist line in four of his past six games, showcasing his reliability as a table-setter in Oklahoma City's offensive system. Gilgeous-Alexander's usage rate remains elite, and he's commanding the offense with authority in late-season games.
Matchup Analysis: Oklahoma City vs Brooklyn
Brooklyn ranks 24th in defensive efficiency and has struggled to contain high-usage ball handlers this season. The Nets' perimeter defense is porous, which should allow SGA to operate freely and rack up dimes against a vulnerable backcourt. With the Thunder favored in this matchup, expect OKC to maintain pace and rhythm—conditions that favor Gilgeous-Alexander's assist total.

Over 6.5 Assists (-132). Shai Gilgeous-Alexander prop prediction leans heavily to the Over here.
