Friday’s Best NBA Player Prop Bets: Spurs vs. Timberwolves
(Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)
Dylan Harper 11+ Points (-122)
Dylan Harper is playing at an extremely high level going into this contest. Harper has firmly established himself as a serious scoring and defensive option for San Antonio throughout the playoffs. He will no doubt look to make his mark in Game 3. The Spurs guard is absolutely rolling right now, and we feel he can certainly finish this contest with at least 11 points.
Harper is averaging 13.1 points over seven games for the Spurs in the playoffs. The young guard has scored at least 11 points in three out of the last four postseason contests. The guard for the Spurs is averaging 15 points per game through two playoff contests on the road. Harper is attempting 12 shots each contest in the last four games - over three more attempts than during the regular season (9.5).
The rookie guard averaged 12 points per contest when playing on the road this season. Harper is shooting 54.7% in the postseason and playing three more minutes per game than in the regular season. Harper is playing very solidly as of late and can easily reach 11 points tonight against Minnesota.
Anthony Edwards Under 22.5 Points (-109)
Anthony Edwards is considered questionable for Game 3 due to a left knee bone bruise. However, the top-scoring option was available for the second game in this series. Although he was very limited. This line is extremely aggressive for a player who only played 24 and 25 minutes in the previous two contests.
Edwards is averaging 13 points through his last four postseason games. The Timberwolves guard has been on the floor for 20.2 minutes over that span. Edwards has not scored more than 18 points in four consecutive postseason games.
Edwards is almost certainly going to play tonight. However, make sure to check the Betting Pros App later today for all of your up-to-date information. The Timberwolves are up against a tough San Antonio defense, and Edwards has not played over 25 minutes in the last four games. This looks like a straightforward play on the under.
Enjoy the games tonight. Best of luck with your picks.
