Resolution criteria
This market will resolve to "Yes" if Shai Gilgeous-Alexander records at least 7 assists in Game 6 of the 2025 NBA Finals. Official NBA box scores, available on the NBA's official website, will be used to verify the assist count. If Game 6 does not occur (e.g., if the series concludes in fewer than six games), the market will resolve to "N/A."

In the 2025 NBA Finals, the Thunder are facing the Indiana Pacers. Gilgeous-Alexander's playmaking abilities are crucial to the Thunder's offensive strategy, especially in high-stakes games like the Finals.
Considerations
While Gilgeous-Alexander's season average of 6.4 assists per game is slightly below the 7-assist threshold, his performance in critical playoff games may vary. Factors such as defensive strategies employed by the Pacers, the pace of the game, and the performance of his teammates can influence his assist totals. Additionally, if the series concludes before Game 6, the market will resolve to "N/A," as the specified game will not take place.
