The Timberwolves are visiting the Thunder for Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals in Oklahoma City on Tuesday. On DraftKings Sportsbook, the Thunder are favored by seven points for Game 1 and this tilt carries a total of 217.5 points.

Below, I have featured my favorite Jaden McDaniels prop bet to consider from this contest.

Jaden McDaniels U 1.5 Made Three-Pointers (-160)

While McDaniels is having a great postseason, averaging 15.4 PPG, not much of his production has come via three-pointers. In his 10 starts during these playoffs, McDaniels is only averaging 1.0 made three-pointer on 2.9 attempts per game (34.5%) and he has fallen short of 1.5 made three-pointers in seven of these 10 games. In fact, McDaniels has gone without a make from beyond the arc in five of these 10 contests.

Now, McDaniels is facing the Thunder on the road in Game 1 and he is a sensational bet for under 1.5 made three-pointers in this brutal spot. This season, Oklahoma City is leading the NBA in defensive rating and it is limiting its opponents to the lowest three-point percentage in the league. McDaniels faced the Thunder four times in the regular season and he stayed under 1.5 made three-pointers in all of those games, shooting a miserable 18% on three-pointers.
