Lakers vs Timberwolves NBA Playoffs Parlay Picks for Friday, April 25, 2025

Yeah, the NFL Draft just hijacked the headlines – but let’s be real, the Lakers-Wolves series is where the fireworks are. It’s 1-1, and with Game 3 in Minnesota, the NBA playoff betting odds have the Wolves as slight favorites.

But can they actually outgun L.A.’s red-hot offense and get stops on defense? Stick around; we’re diving into my top NBA parlay picks today and how to make some extra cash.

Lakers vs Timberwolves Free Parlay Picks

• Leg 1: Minnesota Timberwolves ML -3 (-115)

Unlike Game 2, I expect this one to stay close, but I’m rolling with the Timberwolves to cover the 3-point spread. Why? They got outworked and couldn’t hit anything last game (especially the bench). Now they’re back home with a chance to make it right. I’m seeing the Wolves use that loss as fuel, locking down on defense and attacking the rim like they should’ve been doing all along. Lay the points with Minnesota.

Bet on Minnesota ML -3 (-115)

• Leg 2: Lakers vs Timberwolves Over 205.5 Points

The last two matchups fell below the under, but I don’t think that’s in the cards tonight. While the Lakers offense may cool down a bit, the total at 205.5 points is just too low. Both teams have enough scoring talent to push this over, even if their stars aren’t hitting shots at their usual rate. In other words, fade the NBA betting odds and take the over.

Bet on Lakers vs Timberwolves Over 205.5 -110

• Leg 3: LeBron James Under 22.5 Points (-104)

Sorry in advance to the LeBron James fan club, but for more NBA picks, I’m taking him to finish under 22.5 points. Look, James is 40 years old, heading into his third straight playoff game, likely logging 35+ minutes again, against a top-5 defense. The bottom line is that the odds are against him here, plus he hasn’t even scored 23 points in a game since April 10th.

Bet on LeBron James Under 22.5 Points (-104)

• Leg 4: Jaden McDaniels Under 12.5 Points (-122)

Still need more of my NBA expert prop picks? Ride with PF Jaden McDaniels to finish under 12.5 points. Yes, he shocked us in Game 1 with 25 points, but don’t expect that again. McDaniels has been a minor piece of Minnesota’s offense all season. Plus, he hasn’t topped 13 points in his last three home games. Talk about money in the bank, am I right?
