Minnesota Timberwolves forward Julius Randle raises his arm to pump up the crowd. Up two games to none in the Western Conference Finals, the Oklahoma City Thunder will look to slam the door on the Minnesota Timberwolves’ title hopes and take a commanding 3-0 lead on Saturday. As Pat Riley used to say, however, “a playoff series doesn’t truly start until the home team loses a game.” Expect the Timberwolves to come out fired up at home to avoid falling into an insurmountable series deficit. My Thunder vs. Timberwolves props andfor Saturday, May 24 expect Anthony Edwards and Julius Randle to lead the charge for Minnesota and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander to get teammates involved on the road.is in the midst of the best scoring run of his playoff career, and fresh off a dud in Game 2, he’s got a great opportunity to bounce back in Game 3 and cash the Over on a modest scoring line.

Expect another strong outing as a facilitator in Game 3.has picked it up on the glass in the playoffs, averaging 8.2 boards across 12 postseason appearances.
