The Minnesota Timberwolves enter the belly of the beast trying to save their season in Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals.
Minnesota trails the Oklahoma City Thunder 3-1 in the series, which ups the intensity for tonight’s showdown inside the Paycom Center.
If you’re a sucker for sweats, we can pile on the drama with a Timberwolves vs. Thunder same game parlay made with my NBA picks for May 28.
Timberwolves vs Thunder SGP - May 28
Chet Holmgren 2+ threes
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander 5+ rebounds
Naz Reid 10+ points
Chet Holmgren is going to get good minutes as the Oklahoma City Thunder opt for a one-center scheme. He’s wide open on the perimeter and was 2-for-4 from distance in Game 4, with the Thunder running a lot of drive-and-kick to perimeter shooters.
Projections sit at 1.5 makes or higher from 3-point land from the 7-footer.
With the Thunder rolling out a small lineup, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's work on the glass increases. His rebounding chances increased from 7.0 in the first three games to 11.0 in Game 4, resulting in nine rebounds. I have him for at least six boards tonight.
Naz Reid has scored double figures in three straight games, and Game 5 projections sit as high as 13.5 points. He can score inside, outside and pick up points from the foul line, and the Minnesota Timberwolves need his energy if they’re going to avoid elimination in Oklahoma City tonight.
