Lakers

Taurean Prince, Over 1.5 3-Pointers Made

The Timberwolves had quite the season finale on Sunday. While they beat the Pelicans to clinch the eighth seed in the Western Conference, they lost two key starters to ill-timed punches.

With Jaden McDaniels and Rudy Gobert unavailable against the Lakers, Taurean Prince should slot into a significant role. The seven-year veteran played 35 minutes against the Pelicans, and he is a candidate to start on Tuesday.

Whether he starts or not, Prince should see significant minutes — and when he’s played at least 26 minutes this season, he’s nailed at least two threes in 11-of-16 games.

The sharpshooter gets a quality matchup as the Lakers have allowed the 11th-most threes per game and the third-most wide-open 3-point attempts per game.

I have the Baylor product projected at 30 minutes, which should yield six attempts from long range. I’m comfortable playing this line for the 38% 3-point shooter up to -145.

Pick:Taurean Prince Over 1.5 3-Pointers Made (-120 | Play to -145).
