Rudy Gobert, Over 8.5 Points 

NBA Odds: -125 at FanDuel

Gobert scored between 1 and 27 points in 10  Timberwolves playoff games. But he’s scored 8+ in four of five vs. the Warriors, and averaged 12 ppg on the season. The center spot is one of the few spots where OKC doesn’t excel defensively. Gobert getting into double figures should be a key strategy for Minnesota.

Mike Conley, Over 2.5 Rebounds 

NBA Odds: +110 at BetMGM

The Wolves' point guard averaged 2.5 rpg on the season, but he’s hit over on this number in three straight playoff games. OKC ranks No. 2 in fewest points allowed to opposing PGs, but is 27th in rebounds given up to the position. The veteran can step up from the 1.0 RPG he averaged vs. the Thunder in the regular season.

Alex Caruso, Over 8.5 Points 

NBA Odds: +102 at FanDuel

Caruso is coming off the bench for the Thunder, but he’s getting more minutes at SG than the starter, Lu Dort. In the nine playoff games he’s played at least 12 minutes, Caruso has scored in double figures in seven, and was just one bucket under this total in the other two. Minnesota is stellar defensively at PG, SF, and PF, but less so at SG.
