- Timberwolves Moneyline (+120)
- Julius Randle Over 18.5 Points (-120)
Parlay Payout: +248 (DraftKings)
The Timberwolves managed to stay competitive in the first halves of Games 1 and 2 but were outscored heavily in the third quarter of both contests.
Now, trailing 2-0 in the series, Minnesota returns home in a true must-win scenario, needing a bounce-back performance to stay alive.
Despite the double-digit losses, we’re backing the Wolves at home tonight as slight 2.5-point underdogs.
Minnesota has played its best basketball on its home court this season and should come out with added intensity and urgency in front of its fans.
Pick: Timberwolves Moneyline (+120)
There’s great value on this prop at plus-money, making it a solid buy-low opportunity.
Julius Randle has had a strong postseason overall but struggled in Game 2, shooting just 2-for-11 and seeing limited fourth-quarter minutes as a result.
Back at home tonight, Randle is in a prime spot for a bounce-back performance.
The veteran forward should see increased usage and minutes, and our Action Pro Report projects him for 21.1 points in this critical matchup.
Pick: Julius Randle Over 18.5 Points (-120)
