Julian Champagnie Over 1.5 Threes Made (-190)
Primed for a bounce-back performance after a quiet Game 4 outing, back Spurs sharpshooter Julian Champagnie to knock down Over 1.5 three-pointers against the Timberwolves in Game 5.
Having hit two or more threes in the first three games of the series, Champagnie went cold from long range, going 0-5 in Game 5. While he wasn’t able to nail a triple, his continued high-volume shooting from range is a promising sight for bettors, as it shows his inability to let a few misses discourage him from letting it fly.
Another factor that played a major part in his uncharacteristic shooting slump in Game 5 was the ejection of Spurs superstar Victor Wembanyma. When Wemby is on the court, he attracts a plethora of attention from the Timberwolves defence, especially inside the paint, which often pulls defenders away from the arc, leaving Champagnie open to become a recipient of a wide open three.
With Wembanyama back in the lineup in tonight’s game, look for Champagnie to once again be found lurking in the corner, waiting patiently for his chance to play some sweet string music as he nets Over 1.5 three-pointers against the T-Wolves in Game 5.

Jaden McDaniels Over 4.5 Rebounds (-135)
Arguably one of the best defensive players across the entire NBA, look for Timberwolves forward Jaden McDaniels to make his presence felt on the glass tonight as he hauls in Over 4.5 rebounds against the Spurs.
Standing six-foot-nine and possessing fantastic athleticism, McDaniels sleepwalks his way into rebounds when he’s on the court. A player who embraces physicality, McDaniels never shies away from a battle for position on the inside, more often than not, coming out on top. In this series with the Spurs, McDaniels has exceeded 4.5 rebounds in three of the four games played to this point, with the lone outlier coming from their Game 2 blowout loss that saw him record only 20 minutes of play time.
Additionally, throughout the postseason, McDaniels has been consistent on the boards, having recorded Over 4.5 rebounds in 70% of his games played.
Set for a competitive showdown that will have him playing a massive role for his team, look for McDaniels to hound the ball from all areas of the court, using his superb defensive skills to generate missed shots, and following those errant shots as he secures Over 4.5 rebounds in Game 5.

Devin Vassell 20+ Points + Rebounds + Assists (-125)
Let’s get exotic with our last pick of the day, and there’s no better way to do so than by backing the efforts of Spurs swingman Devin Vassell. In the middle of a stellar breakout campaign in his sixth NBA season, look for Vassell to showcase his full skillset in tonight’s monumental matchup as he finishes with 20+ combined points, rebounds, and assists.
Having been everywhere on the court for the Spurs throughout this series, Vassell has proven that while he is an elite shooter, he’s also a complete player. Having averaged 4.3 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game to go along with his 12.8 points per game, Vassell has managed to impact the game at every level in this series.
Bank on Vassell to put on a show, stuffing the statsheet against the Timberwolves in tonight’s fray, and netting you a juicy boost to your bankroll in tonight’s NBA Playoff action.
