Ahead of tip-off, Mike Conley has been listed as questionable for the Timberwolves. Dereck Lively is listed as doubtful for the Mavericks. These are two names to keep an eye on in the coming hours.

NBA Player Props Today – Tuesday, May 28, 2024
Anthony Edwards Over/Under 26.5 Points
Karl-Anthony Towns Over/Under 19.5 Points
Daniel Gafford Over/Under 10.5 Points
Anthony Edwards Over/Under 26.5 Points
Edwards has yet to clear this market number during the Western Conference Finals, but it’s extremely difficult to imagine him going down without a fight in Game 4. Sometimes the advanced analytics mean less than the character of the player. Edwards has 5 games with 30+ points this postseason, so there is proof of concept. Expect him to be very aggressive looking for his shot early and often this evening as he and his team try to push the series back to Minnesota for Game 5.
- PICK: Edwards OVER 26.5 Points (-135), BetMGM
Karl-Anthony Towns Over/Under 19.5 Points
Towns hasn’t scored more than 16 points in any of the first 3 games of the Western Conference Finals, but his lack of production hasn’t been due to a lack of opportunity. He has attempted 20 field goals, 16 field goals, and 18 field goals, respectively, to begin this series. He’s simply been tremendously inefficient, shooting only 27.8% from the floor. Towns, who shot 50.4% from the floor during the regular season and over 50% from the floor during the first two rounds of the playoffs, is due for some positive regression in that department.
- PICK: Towns OVER 19.5 Points (-115), FanDuel
Daniel Gafford Over/Under 10.5 Points
Gafford didn’t have his best performance in Game 3, but he’s been highly effective so far in this series, nonetheless, with 10 points and 16 points in the first 2 games, respectively. Perhaps most notable from the first 2 games was his volume, attempting 9 shots in Game 1 and 10 shots in Game 2.
Gafford didn’t see as much volume in Game 3, but he played a series-high 29 minutes. He could be looking at 30+ minutes of playing time tonight with Dereck Lively listed as doubtful.
- PICK: Gafford OVER 10.5 Points (-115), DraftKings
