Timberwolves Game 5 computer picks

Rudy Gobert Over 7.5 points (-120)

Projection: 9.75 points

This is one of two five-star plays our model found for this game, showing an EV edge of 23.91%. Rudy Gobert has scored 10+ points in back-to-back outings, playing 30+ minutes in each.

He should see a similar workload tonight with Wemby back after his ejection.

Ayo Dosunmu Over 12.5 points (-112)

Projection: 14.78 points

Ayo Dosunmu has become a pivotal part of the Minnesota Timberwolves' rotation, even drawing the start in Game 4. Our projections see him turning up the heat after three underwhelming performances.

Naz Reid Over 11.5 points (+100)

Projection: 13.51 points

Naz Reid provides a perfect scoring punch for the Wolves off the bench. He's eclipsed this total in six of his last seven games, finishing with exactly 11 in the other outing.

Spurs Game 5 computer picks

Julian Champagnie Over 8.5 points (+100)

Projection: 10.54 points

This is the second five-star play for tonight's game, sitting with an EV edge of 24.32%.

Before two mediocre outings, Julian Champagnie was going to work. With Wembanyama expected to play the full game, it'll open up more catch-and-shoot opportunities for Champagnie — who is hitting threes at a 49% clip in the playoffs.

🔥 Bet Champagnie Now at bet365!

De'Aaron Fox Over 17.5 points (-112)

Projection: 19.73 points

De'Aaron Fox plays a pivotal part in the San Antonio Spurs' success, and they'll need him to be at his best tonight. He just scored 24 points in Game 4, and he's on track to play after going through the afternoon shootaround.

🔥 Bet fox Now at bet365!

Stephon Castle Over 4.5 rebounds (-155)

Projection: 6.17 rebounds

Stephon Castle puts his 6-foot-6 frame to good use, averaging 4.3 rebounds per game in the playoffs. He's eclipsed this line in two of four games against Minnesota, finishing with exactly four in the other two.
