Best NBA Prop Picks: Lock In This Expert's Best NBA Prop Bets for Thursday
This could be the final NBA game until Thursday, June 6!
That's only if the Mavericks take care of business on the road with a 3-1 lead in the Western Conference Finals.
If the Timberwolves win, as favorites, we'll head to a Game 6 on Saturday night in Dallas.
That said, here are three player props to consider for tonight's Game 5 matchup between the Mavericks and Timberwolves.
May 30 Best NBA Player Props
Luka Doncic Triple Double (+390) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds
Luka Doncic has nailed a triple-double in two of his first four games against the Timberwolves. But while he hasn't averaged a triple-double in this series, he's come close.
He's earned 31.5 points with 9.5 rebounds and nine assists per game. With that statline, I'll take my chances with Doncic to add a triple-double.
Minnesota ranks 20th in assists allowed to point guards and Doncic has added at least ten rebounds in more than 50% of his games this season.
Rudy Gobert Over 10.5 Rebounds (-125) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds
The Dallas Mavericks currently rank 24th in rebounds allowed to centers this season. While Gobert hasn't earned more than 10 rebounds in any game this season, this feels like a great buy-low spot.
After all, Gobert has earned at least 12 rebounds in 60% of his games this season. Now we're getting a 10.5 line at -125. There's enough value there.
The main thing for Gobert is staying out of foul trouble. He's had five fouls in three consecutive games. But he's still earned 38 minutes or more in three of those four games.
Karl-Anthony Towns Over 19.5 Points (-132) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds
Nobody is more inconsistent than Karl-Anthony Towns. While he's added at least 20 points in 55% of games this season, he's only scored 20 points in 30% of his last 20 games. He certainly hasn't come up very clutch in the playoffs... until Tuesday.
On Tuesday, in Game 4, when everyone was talking down on Towns, he produced 25 points on 9-for-13 from the field. Towns drilled four threes on five attempts and added three foul shots.
After all, the Mavericks are 25th in the NBA in points allowed to power forwards. Towns just needs to shoot with more consistency. With his confidence higher after Tuesday's performance, I'm on his Over.
