Best NBA Playoff Bets for Monday, May 12
Julius Randle over 33.5 points + rebounds + assists (-115, DraftKings)
Minnesota Timberwolves at Golden State Warriors
Alex Barutha (2:50 PM ET): The Wolves have played better and with more confidence over the past two wins. That’s partially been a result of trusting Randle more with the ball. Over the past two, he’s averaging 24.0 points, 11.5 assists and 8.5 rebounds on 50/20/100 shooting. Aside from him and Anthony Edwards, consistent offense is tough to find. Randle has also been strong on the boards.
Karl-Anthony Towns over 11.5 rebounds (-135, DraftKings)
Boston Celtics at New York Knicks
Alex Barutha (3:00 PM ET): Towns has double-digit boards in five straight games, averaging 14.2 during this stretch. Against Boston, specifically, he’s averaging 15.0 rebounds. I don’t expect that to change, given New York’s position in the series and most of those rebounds coming at a short distance. KAT still had 15 boards in Game 3 when the Celtics shot 48%.
Anthony Edwards O6.5 REB (+105)
Timberwolves at Warriors, 10PM ET
Nick Whalen (5:00 PM ET): Edwards finished with only four boards in Game 3, but we’re going back to the well on a player who’s gone over this number in six of eight postseason games thus far. Without Stephen Curry, I expect the Warriors to again struggle on offense. Even in what should be a slow-paced game, there should be plenty of rebound opportunities available.
Jrue Holiday O7.5 AST+REB (-130)
Celtics at Knicks, 7:30pm ET
Nick Whalen (5:00 PM ET): Holiday went under this number in Game 3, but he played only 25 minutes in a blowout situation and still posted six combined rebounds/assists. Prior to that, Holiday had gone over this number in all four of his postseason appearances.
