The streak continues for a fourth game in a row wagering on Alexander-Walker to exceed a points prop established by oddsmakers. With the number rising in increments of one from game to game, while still being able to land worthwhile value to boost units, there's simply no reason to jump off this train as of yet considering how well the Canadian guard has been performing against the No. 1-ranked defense of Oklahoma City. 

The broadcast team covering this series will remind you to the point of exhaustion that Alexander-Walker is the cousin of newly-crowned league Most Valuable Player Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, but I'm here to remind you that the Timberwolves backup is averaging 15 points on 51.2-percent shooting versus the Thunder and has reached an OVER scoring the rock each of the last three times I've bet on him. He just finished with a team-high 23 points in Game 4 on Monday night, as well, converting 9-of-15 from the field and a crisp 5-of-8 from distance.

Anthony Edwards wasn't his usual self in Game 4, mainly due to Oklahoma City double-teaming him on 100 percent of his drives, with the three-time All-Star turning the rock over five times and only attempting 13 shots. One of the biggest beneficiaries of the lack of attention, however, was his teammate Jaden McDaniels, who scored 22 points and tied a team-high 15 shots with Alexander-Walker. As far as this 3-pointers made prop is concerned, McDaniels buried 3-of-6 from behind the arc to extend his streak of having made multiple triples to three games.

He's drilled exactly half of his 18 3-point tries during this three-game window, and will need two or more once again in Game 5 to make bank at plus money. If the Thunder's strategy will be to continue forcing Edwards into either tough shots or inaccurate es, unless Edwards chooses to force the issue, McDaniels could once again be in store for some open looks to pad his outside numbers in a do-or-die matchup for Minnesota.

The irritating "foul merchant" takes stemming from social media posts and your television sets surrounding Gilgeous-Alexander's high free-throw attempts has cast a shadow over his sensational play. He's getting to the charity stripe 11.7 times per game, and that's all anyone seems to want to talk, but here for this prop, I'll be looking at the other side of the floor and zeroing in on SGA's defense. 

The Thunder have competed in 15 playoff games during this ongoing run, and Gilgeous-Alexander has finished with two or more steals in nine of them, equating to a hit rate for this prop of 60 percent. He finished with exactly three in each of the first two games in his own backyard, but only totalled one across Games 3 and 4 in Minnesota. Of his eight home games, Gilgeous-Alexander has accumulated multiple steals six times, and hopefully a seventh come Game 5.

It hasn't been as incessant as the Alexander-Walker wagers, but there's been multiple occasions in which betting the UNDER on Chet Holmgren's rebounds has paid off, and that well isn't dry just yet. This is an identical bet to the one I made for Game 4, and while it wasn't always looking like it would stay that way, Holmgren did end up finishing with just seven boards across 33 minutes of action during the Thunder's narrow two-point victory at the Target Center. 

He's now failed to grab eight or more rebounds even once versus Oklahoma City after finishing with 11 or more in five of the seven games during the second round against the Denver Nuggets. No one on the roster is producing more than 6.3 per contest, with the team as a whole ing 36.3, so Holmgren's own output being this low can be contributed to that. Three players on Minnesota (Rudy Gobert, Edwards, and Naz Reid) are averaging 7.3 or better, as well, so with that level of competition on the glass, Holmgren simply can't be trusted to break this funk and go for nine or more on Wednesday.

The Oklahoma City Thunder are one victory away from clinching a berth in the 2025 NBA Finals, and they'll have an opportunity to lock that up by defeating the Minnesota Timberwolves in Game 5 of the Western Conference finals at the Paycom Center on Wednesday. Sportsbook has a Timberwolves-Thunder same-game parlay at +600 value ready for what could be the last game of this best-of-seven series.


 

Nickeil Alexander-Walker just led Minnesota in scoring during Monday's two-point loss at the Target Center, finishing with 23 points on 9-of-15 shooting with five makes from behind the arc coming off the bench. He's now scored in double digits each of the last three games against Oklahoma City's No. 1-ranked defense, ending with no fewer than 12 during this stretch.

Chet Holmgren managed to grab 11 or more rebounds in five of the seven games against the Denver Nuggets in the second round, but has failed to finish with more than seven versus the Timberwolves. Game 4 was the same story once again with the 7-footer securing seven across 33 minutes.

Jaden McDaniels has buried multiple 3-pointers in three-straight appearances for the Timberwolves, converting at a 50-percent clip (9-of-18).
