Minnesota is 3-1 at home this postseason and is an 11-point favourite at Target Center tonight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out my Warriors vs. Timberwolves Game 5 prop picks for Tuesday, May 14, featuring plays on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/news\/stats\/nba\/players\/anthony_edwards\">Anthony Edwards<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/news\/stats\/nba\/players\/naz_reid\">Naz Reid<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Warriors vs. Timberwolves prop picks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Best Bet: Edwards over 33.5 points and rebounds (-121)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Edwards was slumping to begin this series, but he snapped out of it after smelling blood in the water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Game 3:<\/strong> 36 points (13-of-28 shooting), 4 rebounds<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Game 4:<\/strong> 30 points (11-of-21 shooting), 4 rebounds<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Back-to-back 30-point outings have put Golden State on the brink of elimination, and I expect Edwards to come through with another monster performance tonight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The shooting guard is averaging 27.0 points and 8.1 rebounds this postseason, which puts us comfortably above this number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He&#8217;s cleared this mark in five of his last seven games, including three of four this series. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Edwards is capable of clearing this mark on points alone, and that&#8217;s very possible if he continues to shoot with volume.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But I&#8217;m also bullish on him racking up a ton of rebounds as he did in Game 1 (14 rebounds) and Game 2 (nine rebounds).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Warriors are continuing to run a small-ball lineup with 6-foot-9 Trayce Jackson-Davis starting at centre. He&#8217;s the tallest player getting meaningful minutes for Golden State.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Edwards isn&#8217;t a giant, but his superhuman vertical allows him to contend for any rebound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Key stat:<\/strong> Since the start of last postseason, Minnesota&#8217;s shooting guard has 30+ points\/rebounds in 17 of 25 games (14-9 vs. this line). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"cacheembed:113743\">Embed: #113743<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/sports-hub\/basketball\/nba?utm_source=insights&amp;utm_medium=text_link&amp;utm_term=&amp;utm_content=&amp;utm_campaign=sportsbook_nba\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Full NBA betting markets<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/news\/article\/nba-injury-report?utm_source=insights&amp;utm_medium=text_link&amp;utm_term=&amp;utm_content=&amp;utm_campaign=injury_reports\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>NBA injury report<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/news\/stats\/nba\/top-players?utm_source=insights&amp;utm_medium=text_link&amp;utm_term=&amp;utm_content=&amp;utm_campaign=stats_pages\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>NBA stats &amp; standings<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Game 5 prop prediction<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong>Reid over 1.5 threes (-125)<\/strong>:<\/strong> Reid is the type of player teams need to go on a deep playoff run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 2023-24 NBA Sixth Man of the Year is averaging 11.2 PPG off the bench, playing elite defence and shooting the lights out from 3-point range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>21-of-48 from deep (48.8%)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2+ threes in 6 of 9 games<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Reid is averaging 2.5 makes on 5.3 attempts this series, hitting three 3s in Games 1-3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Golden State has struggled to defend the deep ball, ranking 25th in opponent 3-point percentage (36.5%) this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reid is 4-1 against this line in his last five games vs. the Warriors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Warriors vs. Timberwolves prop picks made at 10:11 a.m. ET 05\/14\/2025.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Minnesota Timberwolves can punch their Western Conference finals ticket with a win over the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday.
