Thanks to yesterday's overtime in the Pacers-Celtics game, we finished 2-1 with our best bets.
Tonight, we'll shift our focus to the Western Conference Finals between the Dallas Mavericks and Minnesota Timberwolves. Here are three prop bets you'll want to think about for tonight's game.
May 22 Best NBA Player Props
Mike Conley Under 6.5 Assists (-130) CLICK HERE TO SEE WHICH SPORTSBOOK HAS THE BEST ODDS
Mike Conley is still recovering from an Achilles injury. While he's likely to play tonight, we must keep that in mind.
In addition to his injury, Conley added no more than five assists in each of his last two games despite playing 31+ minutes in both. Against Denver, for example, he added no more than six assists in four of six games. Essentially, he's hit this prop in just one of his last five games and is facing a Dallas defense that is average regarding assists to point guards.
Meanwhile, Conley has only hit this line in 44% of games this year. I'll grab the Under.
PJ Washington Over 5.5 Rebounds (-125) CLICK HERE TO SEE WHICH SPORTSBOOK HAS THE BEST ODDS
PJ Washington and the Mavericks don't have the most ideal matchup against the Timberwolves. The Timberwolves are a fantastic defensive-rebounding team and typically limit other teams on the board.
But Washington added 8.3 rebounds per game against the Thunder last series. He also hauled in at least six rebounds in all but one game.
That one game was his last one, in Game 6 against the Thunder. He went 2-for-6 from the field and had five fouls in 30 minutes. It was easily his worst game of the series, but he still managed five rebounds.
Washington typically plays about 35 minutes a game. If he stays out of foul trouble, six rebounds seem like his floor at this point.
Anthony Edwards Under 2.5 Threes (+112) CLICK HERE TO SEE WHICH SPORTSBOOK HAS THE BEST ODDS
Against the Nuggets, Anthony Edwards shot just 37.3% from downtown. While he attempted more than seven threes a night, he only averaged 2.7 threes per game.
In Game 7 against Denver, Edwards went just 2-for-10 from three. He ultimately had four games where he shot 37.5% from downtown or worse. In three of those games, Edwards only hit 25% from downtown or worse.
He'll have some encouraging games. But overall, Edwards is inconsistent from downtown. I'll gladly take plus-money for this wager.
