We’re left with just one game on Friday night. The Memphis Grizzlies will look to finish off the Minnesota Timberwolves, on the road, in Game 6 of the First Round of the NBA Playoffs. The Grizzlies have put together some incredible comebacks so far this season. Will this game be another Timberwolves choke or can Minnesota force a Game 7?
We’ve added three props for the Memphis and Minnesota game for April 29.
Grizzlies vs. Timberwolves: Ja Morant Under 1.5 Three-pointers
Ja Morant is averaging .8 threes per game in the playoffs. He’s also shooting just 21.7% from three-point land this season. That would mean, for every five shots, he’s making one three.
Morant has been very aggressive. He’s showboating with his athleticism and getting to the rim. He’s passing up good looks for better looks and he’s also helping on the glass to get into transition.
Morant isn’t looking to take a ton of threes and he’s not very good at shooting from long range anyway. He’s great inside the arc and is playing out of his mind right now.
Bet: Morant Under 1.5 Three-pointers (-130 at FanDuel)
Grizzlies vs. Timberwolves: Karl-Anthony Towns Over 11.5 Rebounds
Despite being in foul trouble in almost every game, Towns is averaging 11 rebounds per game. He’s coming off a 12-rebound performance in the last game and had 14 in the game before that. The reality is, if Towns stays out of foul trouble, he’s a near-lock to get 12 rebounds. If he’s in foul trouble, it becomes a sweat, but he’s also pretty reliable in that regard.
In Game 2 it took Towns just 28 minutes to earn 11 rebounds. In Game 5, he added 12 rebounds in 35 minutes. He had one outlier game in Game 3 but realistically, to get Towns at 11.5 with plus money odds is just really good value. Towns has hit over in the last two and now we’re still getting plus money. Keep your fingers crossed that he stays out of foul trouble. If he gets 40 minutes in a do-or-die game, he’s easily getting 12 rebounds.
Bet: Karl-Anthony Towns Over 11.5 Rebounds (+108 at FanDuel)
Grizzlies vs. Timberwolves: Anthony Edwards Over 3.5 Three-pointers
Anthony Edwards isn’t afraid to shoot. In the playoffs, Edwards is sending up 9.4 threes per game and hitting 3.8 of them. He missed the four three-pointer mark in Game 5 but in the first four games, Edwards nailed four three-pointers. For something that has happened pretty consistently, it’s amazing that we’re getting another plus-money, valuable bet.
Game 5 actually put Edwards’ three-point numbers down a bit but overall, Edwards is shooting 40.8% from downtown. If he’s going to take 10 threes, we’ve got a very good chance at cashing this ticket at +108.
Bet: Anthony Edwards Over 3.5 Three-pointers (+108 at FanDuel)
