Don't trust the Timberwolves in a favorite's role and Luka Doncic has had a few days to rest up.

The Mavericks face off against the Minnesota Timberwolves in the Western Conference Finals. I’m targeting Luka Doncic to have a big game. Luka’s points prop is set at 28.5 a number he has crushed this season. Overall, Luka has averaged 32.9 ppg but has had some difficulty in the Playoffs scoring just 27.3 ppg. Much of this was due to matchup though. The Clippers could throw a mix of Kawhi and Terrance Mann at him while Oklahoma City deployed Lu Dort. While the Timberwolves have elite wing defenders such as Jaden McDaniels (who I expect to start of Luka), Luka’s size should give him the edge. Also, Luka was seemingly dealing with a knee injury throughout the Oklahoma City series, but got into his stride to finish the series with 31 and 29 point performances. Here, I think Minnesota has better options to defend everyone else on the Mavericks with Ant on Kyrie and Gobert clogging up the interior. Minnesota’s defense is elite, but Luka is a tough cover due to his skill but also because of Minnesota’s personnel. I’ll grab Luka to exceed 28.5 points, especially with him playing on extra rest.

Veteran leader on the team that’s coming off a season-high 39 minutes after fighting an ankle injury and a game 7 bloodbath vs. the Denver Nuggets. With just two days of rest going into a new series, I am anticipating a looser rotation as teams feel the water, and one player that I expect playing fewer minutes is Mike Conley. For Game 1 vs. Dallas, I’m expecting the minutes to be around 29-33. Unlike in the DEN series where the Wolves needed to put out two bigs to match Jokic/Gordon, we can see a little more NAW playing time as he’ll be needed for help vs. Kyrie Irving. And being that the Mavs are the best remaining PnR BH defense (37% of his FREQ%), getting to his shots with elite defenders contesting won’t be easy. It’s a telling sign with books shoting his 3PT line juiced under 2.5 at -188. As for assists, I really like tackling it on because he’s only getting 36% of his conversions coming from the 3PT. He’s getting a lot of his success from the PnR with Rudy Gobert, but with centers Dereck Lively and Daniel Gafford playing drop coverage, those will be tough to come by. Kyrie will be on Ant and PJ Washington should be on KAT, contesting looks at the 3PT line. And as for the historical data, overall, in games where Conley plays 29-34 minutes with the key rotation and only makes 2 3PTs he averages 15.4 PA, going under this line in 11 of the 13 games (85.9% rate). #PlayerProps
