Ayo Dosunmu has recorded 9, 5, and 7 rebounds in his last three games, playing at least 30 minutes each. Victor Wembanyama has been pulling Rudy Goebert outside creating opportunities for Edwards and Dosunmo to get boards. Over the last 3 games, Dosunmu is averaging 11.3 rebounds chances a game. We only need 5. And we are getting plus money.
In his career, Anthony Edwards has 27+ points in six of eight games with his team's season on the line, for an average of 26.5 points per game. He’s also averaging 7.0 rebounds and 5.3 assists per game in these situations. This will come down to how many minutes the Wolves allow Ant-man to play. He’s coming off an injury, but saw 40+ minutes in Games 3 and 4. Game 5 he played 39 minutes in a blowout. In Game 3 and 4, he scored 32 and 36 points, while scoring 30 in the lone game in the Nuggets series in which he played 40+ minutes. Small sample size, but that’s 3-for-3 when playing 40 minutes this postseason.
Ayo Dosunmu is healthy again, which has resulted in him playing at least 30 minutes in each of the last three games. In those three games, he averaged 7.0 rebounds and 4.0 assists, hitting this over each time. Mike Conley Jr. can’t play many minutes at this stage of his career, so Dosunmu is likely locked into at least 30 minutes again in Game 6. That’s an important threshold for him because he averaged 5.3 rebounds and 4.6 assists across 20 games in which he logged at least 30 minutes during the regular season. Look for him to remain productive in both departments as the Timberwolves try to stave off elimination.
This has been a brutal matchup for Julius Randle. He's shooting 36.6 percent in the series, which includes 8 for 24 at home with eight turnovers. Following a strong Game 1, Randle has stayed Under this prop total the past four games. Bank on San Antonio's elite defense to keep frustrating Randle.
FanDuel. Dylan Harper continues to impress for the Spurs, and it’s evident that Mitch Johnson is looking for more ways to keep him on the court when it matters. The rookie has cleared this line in four of five games this series, including a 31 and 22 point plus rebound performance in Games 4 and 5 respectively. His size on the perimeter has posed problems for the Timberwolves, who do not send help defenders on ball-handlers (especially with Victor Wembanyama looming). The rookie’s confidence is clearly percolating, and this is a line he’s cleared in 23 of the last 33 games with a fully healthy Spurs lineup. I’d bet this to over 15.5 with confidence.
