The Denver Nuggets are looking to secure their 4th straight win against the Minnesota Timberwolves and punch their ticket to the NBA Western Conference Finals. With just 1 game on deck tonight, let’s dive into my favorite NBA player prop bet for Nuggets vs Timberwolves.

Naz Reid, MIN, Over 9.5 points (-120)
Odds available at BetMGM Sportsbook at time of publishing
Sixth Man of the Year winner Naz Reid was a big part of the Timberwolves’ success down the stretch when Karl-Anthony Towns went down with an injury. Since the all-star break, Reid averaged 16 points per game on 46% from the field and 40% from three-point range. Now in the NBA postseason, with Towns and Rudy Gobert healthy, Reid has seen his minutes dwindle, but I’m expecting a solid scoring game out of him when his name is called.
In the 4th quarter of Game 5, Reid played the last 7 minutes for Jaden McDaniels after he failed to knock down 2 wide-open three-pointers. With Mike Conley’s injury tag still in question, Nickeil Alexander-Walker is seeing a ton of time on the court. Alexander-Walker can defend Jamal Murray, so if the Timberwolves want to go with Reid more over McDaniels, that luxury is there. Nonetheless, getting a price of -120 on this player prop while FanDuel is down to -130 is good enough for me. I’d also consider betting on Reid 15+ points at +390 odds.
