The Timberwolves are visiting the Grizzlies on Thursday. On DraftKings Sportsbook, Minnesota is favored by two points and this carries a total of 231 points.
Below, I have featured my favorite Julius Randle prop bet to consider from this contest.
Best Julius Randle Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
Julius Randle under 17.5 Points (-120)
Randle has struggled as a scorer since Rudy Gobert returned from a back injury. With Gobert in the lineup for the last 14, Randle has stayed under 17.5 points in eight of these games and his usage has dropped to 22.6%. Randle is averaging a 24.6% usage rate this season.
Most recently, the Bucks held Randle to just nine points on Tuesday. Minnesota blew a 24-point fourth-quarter lead to lose this contest, and Randle finished a -16 in the box score.
Randle now will face the Grizzlies and will be matched up with former Defensive Player of the Year Jaren Jackson Jr. often in this tilt. When defended by Jackson Jr. this season, Randle is shooting a miserable 3-of-13 from the field (23.1%). Randle only scored five points in 33 minutes the last time he faced Jackson Jr. and the Grizzlies. Expecting Randle to top 17.5 points tonight is simply too tall of an order.
