Dallas Mavericks vs OKC Thunder Top 10 Game 5 player props

#10 P.J. Washington under 15.5 points (-104, via Caesars Sportsbook)

This is a good prop to bet against as P.J. Washington averages 21.8 points in the series. He is shooting an efficient 49.3% and should have over 15.5 points on Wednesday.

#9 Luka Doncic over 27.5 points (-122, via DraftKings)

This is a bit of a risky bet as the Slovenian guard averages just 22.0 points in the series. However, he is expected to bounce back, and with Game 5 being so crucial for the outcome of the series, expect him to score over 27.5 points.

#8 Josh Giddey over 1.5 assists (-139, via Caesars Sportsbook)

Of all the OKC Thunder starters, Josh Giddey is the one who has struggled the most this series. He averages just 6.0 points and 1.3 assists. He did, however, have two assists on Monday and is projected to have more than 1.5 assists on Wednesday as well.

Seeing as he averaged 3.3 assists in the first round against the New Orleans Pelicans, he could definitely have more than 1.5 assists in Game 5.

#7 Kyrie Irving under 5.5 assists (+120, via DraftKings)

While Kyrie Irving has struggled to score in the Dallas Mavericks vs OKC Thunder series (15.0 points per game), he averages 7.5 assists in four games so far. This is a safe prop to bet against.

#6 Jalen Williams over 1.5 steals (+118, via FanDuel)

#5 Luka Doncic over 46.5 total points, rebounds and assists (-104, via FanDuel)

Luka Doncic hasn’t been the best version of himself so far in the series. He averages 22.0 points, 10.8 rebounds and 7.8 assists in four games. That adds up to 38.6 in terms of total points, rebounds and assists.

If you bet for the Dallas Mavericks guard to score over 27.5 points, you might as well bet on this prop as his total in this category should automatically go up with betting scoring numbers.
