There’s only one game tonight.
The Memphis Grizzlies will have an opportunity to close out the Minnesota Timberwolves in one of the most exciting series of the first round.
Ja Morant delivered big in the waning moments to give the Grizz the win and a 3-2 series lead.
Despite being at home, the TWolves are +1.5 with a total of 229.5.
You never know what you’re getting out of Minnesota. They’ve been a fast start team in the series. Their problem has been second halves.
With Minnesota at home, maybe you look at Minnesota in the first quarter or the first half.
Lets take the first quarter. It’s a sliding scale bet on BetMGM.
The TWolves at +4.5 is -300. But, if you subscribe to the “fast start” belief, you can get the TWolves at -1.5 (+125), -2.5 (+155) or -3.5 (+195).
On the Memphis side, every wager that has a tie or Memphis winning the first quarter has a plus.
The same goes for first half bets.
As for the player props, do you have a fear of unders?
Pick: TWolves -1.5 (+125) 1st quarter
Jaren Jackson Jr. is susceptible to foul trouble. Do you look at the under 12.5 points? Jackson Jr. has been under that number in four out of the five games BUT in two of the games he had 12 points.
Ja Morant has an over/under 4.5 for turnovers. Two of the five games, he’s exceeded that number. As you probably guessed, he has one game with four turnovers.
I’m going with the D’Angelo Russell prop. Despite only scoring over 12 points once, I like Russell over 16.5 tonight.
Prop: D’Angelo Russell over 16.5 points
