NBA same-game parlay picks for Sunday's playoff action. NBA odds, predictions, and SGPs for the Minnesota Timberwolves vs Dallas Mavericks on 5-26-2024.
The Timberwolves need to adjust, lest they want to fall into a 3-0 hole vs. the Mavericks. One adjustment should involve Nickeil Alexander-Walker getting more involved despite being cold as ice as a shooter of late. He headlines our Game 3 SGP.The Minnesota Timberwolves are down 2-0 despite having led for more than 77% of the Western Conference Final’s minutes. Losing to the Dallas Mavericks in Game 2 thanks to a Luka Doncic 3-pointer with only 3.
But Alexander-Walker shot 39.1% from deep in the regular season. That sample size should be trusted. And playing him more will give Minnesota another piece in slowingMinnesota’s defense has been falling off as it sells out to cut into corner threes, which is understandable given the Mavericks shot more corner threes than any other team this season.
Well, that hasn’t worked. So the Timberwolves should force Washington to make his shots. Doing so will be risky, and Washington should make them. But that is the needed adjustment. The combination of playing more Alexander-Walker and spending less time worrying about corner threes should lead to more Doncic assists, likely to shooters in the corner. The Thunder left Washington open plenty, and he hit at least three treys in three of six games — 23 of 49, 46.9% — and Doncic had at least 10 assists in the final three games of that series thanks to Oklahoma City’s defense.
