NAW switches into a different role from G to F with Conley healthy (even if not 100%, Morris will be the backup PG). Huge game on the line for MIN to stay alive, and in order for Ant Edwards to get better looks, he must have Conley and/or Monte Morris on the court to playmake. In the last game, NAW was in the Conley facilitator role, but today I expect him to be used strictly for his spot-up shooting on offense. After what happened in Game 5, we can expect a lot more doubles, traps being thrown at Edwards forcing him to pass out this game where NAW will have open shots not needing to pass out himself. And just in general, NAW is passing a lot less compared to his outlier Game 5 . Here are the splits: 70.0 Passes Made :arrow_right: 27.7 Passes Made and 6.0 potentials :arrow_right: 2.7 potentials (in the games where Conley & Gobert where healthy). He had 0, 1, 2, & 3 assists in Games 1-4 and goes under this line in 32/46 games with both Conley and Edwards playing 20-30 minutes. Tonight, there won’t be too much passes made and facilitating but I realistically see 2-4 chances for him. Players will need to shoot >75% to go over. More than happy to take the risk that doesn’t happen. #PlayerProps

Denver has made a significant adjustment to their rotations and Christian Braun has seen a significant uptick in his minutes. His quickness and physicality has been useful on the defensive side of the ball and he can at least make Anthony Edwards’ life a little bit more difficult on that side of the ball. Offensively, he is a spark plug that can cut, grab offensive boards, and even spot up from 3. This skill set has allowed him to remain on the floor because he is not an offensive liability. He has seen his minutes rise throughout the series and in Games 4 and 5 he played 25 and 28 minutes. When Braun has played 20+ minutes this season, he has exceeded this line in 74% of games while averaging 14.1 PR. If he sees 25+ it jumps to 89% with an average of 16.4 PR. After strong performances in Games 4 and 5, I expect Braun to see extended run once again in Game 6 as he has closed games ahead of MPN.. I like him to exceed 9.5 PR. FD is next best at (-115) then MGM (-125)
