Timberwolves-Mavericks +1100 SGP
Dunk on the sportsbooks tonight! SportsGrid’s free NBA picks, NBA props, and NBA SGPs.
Legs 1 & 2: Luka Doncic 3+ Threes, 7+ Rebounds
Luka Doncic has drilled at least three shots from beyond the arc in every game this series on an average of 10.7 attempts per game. Knowing what the energy will feel like in that building with the Mavs having the opportunity to sweep the Wolves, I expect the momentum to allow Doncic to take at least 10-12 shots from deep. With that volume, he’s fully capable of drilling three of them. Looking at his rebound production, we’re getting a little tedious by touting him to grab at least seven rebounds, but he’s averaged 7.7 rebounds per game this series and will need to be closer to the basket with Dereck Lively II sidelined.
Legs 3: Kyrie Irving 20+ Points
Kyrie Irving has been a tremendous scorer this series, averaging 27.7 points per game. The Wolves have struggled to figure out an answer for his speed and finesse, especially in an elimination spot, so I find it difficult to see this game being close if Kyrie doesn’t score at least 20.
Legs 4 & 5: PJ Washington Jr. 2+ Threes, 6+ Rebounds
Is it just me, or does it feel like PJ Washington Jr. has never missed a meaningful three-pointer? The dude is lights out when it matters most! Anyway, we’ll look for him to knock down at least two threes as he’s done in nine of his last ten games, while also hoping he can grab us six rebounds. He’s had at least six rebounds in seven of his nine games, but like with Luka, as Lively’s minutes are gone we’ll need everyone to make an extra effort at taking care of the glass as it’s unlikely that Daniel Gafford plays 30+ minutes.
Leg 6: Anthony Edwards 6+ Assists
Anthony Edwards has dished out at least six assists in every game this series, averaging 8.0 assists per game. He’s also averaged 13.7 potential assists per game, so we’ll count on him continuing to get his teammates involved as he’s struggled to score the ball at an elite level.
Leg 7: Naz Reid 10+ Points
Naz Reid gives the Wolves an elite spark off the bench, and the Wolves will need every bit of it tonight if they want to extend this series. He’s averaged 17.3 points this series, eclipsing the 14-point mark in each game, so it doesn’t feel too much of an ask for him to get us ten points.
Leg 8: Karl-Anthony Towns 6+ Rebounds
To close out our parlay, Karl-Anthony Towns has averaged 8.3 rebounds this series and is fresh off an 11-rebound performance in Game 3. KAT is getting crushed in the media as he’s come up small as a scorer this series, so with everything on the line tonight, I expect to see maximum intensity from him both as a scorer and on the glass.
