OKC is still the odds-on frontrunner to win the NBA Finals, though, and the visiting squad is favoured to take Game 4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out my Thunder vs. Timberwolves prop picks on Edwards and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/news\/stats\/nba\/players\/isaiah_hartenstein\">Isaiah Hartenstein<\/a> for Game 4 on May 26.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Thunder vs. Timberwolves prop picks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Best Bet: Edwards over 13.5 rebounds\/assists (-120)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Edwards has his fingerprints all over this series, as you would expect from Minnesota&#8217;s alpha dog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out some of the per-game stats Edwards leads the T-wolves in during the WCF:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Minutes (35.4)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Assists (5.0)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rebounds (9.0)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Potential assists (9.0)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rebound chances (13.3)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Oh, and he&#8217;s also the team&#8217;s leading scorer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ferocity of OKC&#8217;s defence wasn&#8217;t on full display in Game 3, but I have enough respect for the Thunder that I don&#8217;t want to mess with Edwards&#8217; scoring prop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But I think he has a great shot at clearing his rebounds\/assists total, as he has more often than not this postseason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through 13 playoff games, Edwards is 9-4 vs. this line while averaging 13.9 RA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since February, Edwards is 5-1 vs. this line against the Thunder, averaging 15.7 RA in that span. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Edwards&#8217; output as a scorer isn&#8217;t always predictable. But his effort level as a rebounder is. Combining that with his role as the primary facilitator, this is a solid way to back the T-wolves&#8217; superstar guard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Key stat:<\/strong> Edwards has cashed this bet in 14 of his past 19 playoff games (dating back to May 2024).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"cacheembed:114148\">Embed: #114148<\/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 4 prop predictions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Hartenstein under 18.5 points\/rebounds\/assists (-129):<\/strong> This line would&#8217;ve seemed low during the regular season, but things change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hartenstein has largely been a non-factor in this series, averaging just 8.0 points, 6.3 rebounds and 0.7 assists (15.0 PRA).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He&#8217;s finished under this line in five straight games, which is thanks in part to a reduced minutes workload. Hartenstein is only averaging 21.6 minutes in that span, versus 26.9 minutes in his previous nine playoff games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In his past five games against the Timberwolves, Hartenstein has gone under 18.5 PRA four times. I just don&#8217;t trust him to be a big part of OKC&#8217;s plans in this series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Thunder vs. Timberwolves prop picks made at 2:00 p.m. ET 05\/25\/2025.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After steamrolling the Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 3, the Minnesota Timberwolves can even the Western Conference finals on Monday night at home.
