Jalen Williams Over 1.5 Made 3-Pointers (-120) at DraftKings

Oklahoma City’s second-leading scorer (21.6 points per game) has averaged 5.3 three-point attempts per game this postseason and hasn’t been afraid to let it fly from deep.

Williams found his stroke in the last series and shot 46.2% from downtown, after struggling in the first two playoff series.

In his last five, 10 and 20 games, the 24-year-old has eclipsed 1.5 threes 60% of the time. 

During the playoffs, he’s hit at least two threes in 62.5% of games (10-of-16). 

Over the course of the entire season, the former No. 12 overall pick (in 2022) has beaten the mark in 52.32% of games (45-of-86).

During the Western Conference Finals, the 24-year-old averaged 2.4 made threes.

In the regular season, he averaged 1.8 threes per game and 1.7 so far in the playoffs, despite struggling in the first two series.

Pace typically leads to more possessions, which gives Williams even more chances to make threes this series.

Both teams specialize in that category, with Oklahoma City ranking second in pace (100.60) during the playoffs and Indiana ranking third (98.44). 

During the regular season, the Thunder were fifth (100.90) and the Pacers ranked seventh (100.76). 

The Santa Clara product plays both small forward and shooting guard. He’s listed as a small forward on the depth chart. 

This season, Indiana ranks 26th against small forwards in terms of three-point field goal percentage and was 17th against the position in terms of three-pointers made. 

Williams’ standard point total on sportsbooks is listed at 22.5 points, and even as high as 23.5 (BetMGM), so he should attempt at least around his season average of 4.9 threes, if not more.

Even if the game were to shift into a negative game script for this prop due to a blowout or foul trouble, Williams has showcased he can still hit threes in limited minutes.

He made two of five attempts in just 25 minutes against during the 42-point, Game 3 loss to Minnesota. 

DraftKings’ odds of -120 hold value with several books listing him around -145.
