Mavericks vs. Timberwolves Western Conference Finals Game 5 Prize Picks Predictions

The NBA is back on Thursday night in Dallas as the Mavericks and Timberwolves are set to face off in Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals.

Want to get in on the action? Here are my two PrizePicks for the contest:

— Anthony Edwards MORE than 14.5 rebounds and assists

— Luka Doncic LESS than 47.5 combined points, rebounds, and assists

When Anthony Edwards smells blood – it’s on.

After falling 3-2 to the Nuggets in the conference semifinals, Edwards led Minnesota to two straight wins to advance to the next round – and he did so with a padded stat sheet.

The Wolves are now down 3-1 in the Western Conference Finals, but are coming off of a win in which the All-NBA guard grabbed 10 rebounds and dished out 9 assists. Edwards has notched MORE than 14.5 combined rebounds and assists in four out of his last five games, and I don’t see that stopping tonight. 

For Dallas, Luka Doncic continues to dominate, tallying a 28-point, 15-rebound triple-double on Tuesday despite the loss. The series now heads BACK to Minnesota where he put up 47 total points, rebounds, and assists in Game 1 and 55 in Game 2. Luka’s great, but banking on 48.5 against a desparate Wolves team is a lot to wish for on. I think he put up LESS than that on Thursday.
