Are the Dallas Mavericks really going to sweep the Minnesota Timberwolves tonight? This is a thought that hadn’t crossed many people’s minds heading into the series, especially considering how well the Timberwolves played against the Denver Nuggets.
However, the Timberwolves now find themself against the wall, needing to win the next four games to keep their NBA Finals hopes alive. Can they pull out a much-needed win tonight?
As we wait to see what transpires this evening, we’ve been scouring Underdog’s board, coming up with our favorite player prop parlays. We, admittedly, got smoked in Game 2 of this series thanks to a bad game from Anthony Edwards, but we’re hoping for better luck in this one. Without further ado, let’s get into it!
We were pretty shocked to see how high Underdog had KAT’s line set tonight, considering how poorly he’s played in this series. Towns hasn’t scored more than 16 points against the Mavericks thus far, and let’s just say he couldn’t hit water if he was jumping out of a boat.
He’s shooting just 27.8% this series, and for that reason, we’re out on him tonight. Towns needs to prove himself, but we don’t think tonight is the night he’ll pull a rabbit out of his hat.
Jaden McDaniels can be a burst of fresh air on this roster. When his teammates like Towns and Edwards aren’t hitting shots, the Timberwolves can typically rely on Daniels to have a big game, especially from the three-point line.
Yes, he had a poor showing in Game 2, but he’s made at least two three-pointers in four of his past five games. Look for Daniels to stay hot from deep, and with a 1.25x odds boost from Underdog, what better time is there to take this line?
We could have gone with one of the Mavericks stars to close out our props for the night, but we decided to go with a role player in Jaden Hardy. Hardy was a great infusion of energy for the Mavericks in Game 3, putting up seven points and two rebounds.
The Mavericks seemed to benefit from having him on the floor, and we anticipate that they’ll use him in a greater capacity tonight. Look for Hardy to have at least five quick points tonight to hit the over on this line!
