Averaging 45 points in the first two games, reigning MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander looks to lead the Oklahoma City Thunder to a 3-0 start when they lock horns with the Atlanta Hawks on Saturday at State Farm Arena.
Current Form:
Gilgeous-Alexander is off to an explosive start, scoring 35 points in the Thunder’s double-overtime win over the Houston Rockets 125-124, and 55 points in another double-overtime victory over the Indiana Pacers 141-135. Oklahoma City, the defending NBA champion, is averaging 133 points per game after two matches this season despite missing its second All-Star, Jalen Williams, who is nursing a wrist injury.
The Hawks earned their first win of the season as Trae Young delivered six of his 25 points in the final 46 seconds to lift his team over the Orlando Magic 111-107 on Friday. Nickeil Alexander-Walker contributed 19 points and Onyeka Okungwu posted 17 points for the Hawks, who shot 48.2 percent from the field.

Our Oklahoma City Thunder vs Atlanta Hawks Prediction
Fearless Forecast: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander will continue his hot-shooting form against the Hawks, whom he torched for 33 points per game last season. I am aware that the Hawks have several defensive studs in their lineup, like Dyson Daniels and Nickeil Alexander-Walker, but the MVP seems to have taken his game to another level after opening the season with two massive scoring performances. Moreover, Shai has more motivation to go all out offensively since his co-stars, Jalen Williams and now Chet Holmgren, are already dealing with some injuries.
Our betting prediction for the Oklahoma City Thunder vs. the Atlanta Hawks: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander 35+ points.
