Let’s dive into three of my favorite player prop bets for Tuesday’s contest.
Best Spurs vs. Timberwolves Player Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
Julius Randle 6+ Rebounds (-153)
While Randle has been up-and-down as a scorer this postseason, he has remained strong on the glass. Randle is averaging 7.3 rebounds per game and he has posted at least six rebounds in 8-of-10 games. Randle is logging 34 minutes per game and he is averaging 13.4 rebound chances per game during these playoffs, which is a notable improvement from the 11.8 Randle averaged in the regular season.
Randle has grabbed at least six rebounds in 6-of-7 matchups vs. the Spurs this season, including a pair of 10-rebound performances, one of which came in Game 1 of this series. The Timberwolves and Spurs are the top two teams in pace of the remaining playoff clubs, and Randle is a stellar bet to finish with at least six rebounds in tonight’s pivotal Game 5.
Naz Reid O 1.5 Made Three-Pointers (-124)
Reid went 0-for-4 from beyond the arc in Game 4, but he still logged over 30 minutes for the second straight game. The big man should bounce back as a deep shooter tonight. Reid is averaging 2.0 made treys per game while shooting 36.4% from distance this season. Before Game 4, Reid had netted multiple three-pointers in four of his previous five.
The Spurs are limiting their opponents to the fifth-lowest three-point percentage this season (34.9%), but Reid has finished with multiple makes from deep in 5-of-7 matchups vs. San Antonio this season.
De’Aaron Fox U 1.5 Made Three-Pointers (-118)
Fox has really struggled with his outside shot this postseason. The guard is shooting just 31% from deep and averaging 1.6 made treys per game. Despite seeing extra usage after Victor Wembanyama was ejected in the first half, Fox went just 1-for-7 from beyond the arc in Game 4.
Wembanyama avoided being suspended for Game 5 and in the 62 games he and Fox have played together this season, Fox is averaging just 1.5 made treys per game. Plus, the Timberwolves rank second in opponent three-point percentage this postseason (31.8%) and Fox has failed to hit multiple treys in 4-of-7 matchups vs. Minnesota this season.
