Timberwolves vs Thunder NBA Finals Prediction

NBA futures odds have firmed for the Thunder following their win over Denver, and that should have a big effect on Tuesday’s score.

Timberwolves vs Thunder Best Player Props Today

• Donte DiVincenzo Under 9.5 Points (-110)

My NBA prop bets today include Donte DiVincenzo under 9.5 points. He hasn’t been his dynamic self during the playoffs, and he had 13 points in Game 7, he suddenly got hot. We can’t see that form continuing, especially given his totals of 9 and 2 points prior.

• Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Over 31.5 Points (-110)

We’re taking the NBA betting odds for Shai Gilgeous-Alexander over 31.5 points. It’s a generous line for the superstar, who is in the running for MVP honors. He scored 35 points in Game 7, and getting his team off to a fast start in this series is important.

• Alex Caruso Over 2.5 Assists (-122)

My NBA player prop picks include OKC’s Alex Caruso over 2.5 assists. He had three assists in Game 7 of the conference emifinals, and he only needs to be around his average for bettors to cash. He should look to get his teammates involved, and that’s their best chance of winning.
