Oklahoma City Thunder at Cleveland Cavaliers NBA Prop Bets - Wednesday 1/8/2025

The Oklahoma City Thunder visit the Cleveland Cavaliers in a game between division and conference leaders. Oklahoma has won 15 straight games to increase its record to 30-5 and Cleveland has won 10 straight games and is 31-4. This is considered by many to be a prelude to the NBA Finals as both teams have played far better than the rest of the league.  Keep up to date with all the NBA action with our expert NBA picks.

Oklahoma City Thunder at Cleveland Cavaliers

Oklahoma City Thunder - Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Points Over 31.5 (-115)

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is scoring an average of 31.3 points per game to lead Oklahoma City. The point guard for Oklahoma City has scored 32 points or more in each of the last two games, four of the last five, six of the last eight, and nine of the last 12. I am thoroughly convinced Gilgeous-Alexander will score 32 or more points on Tuesday when the Thunder play the Cavaliers.

Cleveland Cavaliers - Team Total Points Under 114.5 (-115)

The Cleveland Cavaliers have lost just four of the first 35 games this season and are scoring an average of 122.5 points per game which is second in the NBA. However, Cleveland will be up against an Oklahoma City squad that is first in the NBA points allowed at 103.0 per game The Thunder are also first in field goal percentage and third point percentage allowed. I am convinced Cleveland will have a hard time scoring versus Oklahoma City and finish with 114 or fewer points on Tuesday.
