Lu Dort OVER 1.5 Steals & Blocks
Oklahoma City's menacing defense is the story of this season, and these NBA playoffs. So why not bet on the Thunder's best defender to continue causing chaos in the Western Conference Finals? We're getting Lu Dort to clear 1.5 steals + blocks at +145 odds, after he recorded three in Game 1 and has hit this line in back-to-back games.
Bet on Dort to record at least two stocks in Game 2 as the Oklahoma City defense continues to stifle Minnesota.
Rudy Gobert OVER 7.5 Points
Rudy Gobert has been an integral part of Minnesota's success and the Timberwolves will need more production from him in Game 2. Gobert's crossed this line in five of his last seven while averaging nine points per game.
Moreover, the French Olympian has averaged 12.7 points per game in his last 15 road contests. With Anthony Edwards clearly hobbled, the Timberwolves need scoring from all over the place. Most importantly, they need to find a way to generate more points from inside the paint, after missing 36 three-pointers in Game 1.
That starts with Gobert, who has the ability to dominate inside the paint and will get the better of OKC's big men tonight.
Alex Caruso OVER 1.5 Made Threes
The man Oklahoma City's players call "Unc" has been lighting it from beyond the arc of late. Alex Caruso is not just the "Jokic stopper" but also an adept three-point shooter. The 2020 NBA Champion has crossed this line in six of his last eight games, while knocking down 44% of threes.
Caruso made all three of his attempts in Game 1, and will find plenty of room to roam again tonight. After all, the Timberwolves are forced to pick their poison, and focus on shutting down NBA MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Jalen Williams and Chet Holmgren. That leaves plenty of space for Caruso to find open looks.
Back Caruso to nail at least two three-pointers again tonight as the final leg of our Timberwolves vs Thunder Game 2 same-game parlay.
