💰 Best Timberwolves vs. Nuggets prop bet
Naz Reid Under 22.5 points + rebounds + assists (-114)
Naz Reid continues to lead the NBA Sixth Man of the Year odds race, but his recent play suggests that his position is shaky at best. In February, Reid averaged 11.1 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 2.2 assists in 25.7 minutes per game, clearing this line just twice in nine matchups.
I like the under on this PRA line against the Nuggets because he hasn’t performed that well in this head-to-head series in recent seasons. Since 2023-24, Reid has faced Denver 16 times. He’s cleared this PRA line three times. I’d play this Under at -121 or better, but FanDuel offers the best value in the market.

🔥 More Timberwolves vs. Nuggets prop picks
Tim Hardaway Jr. Over 10.5 points (-130)
Denver Nuggets guard Tim Hardaway Jr. has surged up the Sixth Man of the Year race since starting as a 100/1 long shot in the preseason. He’s now 16/1 to win the award at BetMGM.
While Reid’s play has slipped of late, Hardaway has been playing even better. He’s averaged 14.9 points over his last nine games, clearing this scoring prop in seven of those outings.
Hardaway has performed extremely well against Minnesota this year. He’s scored at least 19 points in all three head-to-head meetings versus the Timberwolves. Give me this Over at bet365 to capitalize on another 6MOY candidate.
💡 How I'm betting Timberwolves vs. Nuggets
Follow all of our NBA analysis and expert predictions this season.
For today’s Timberwolves vs. Nuggets matchup, I’ve decided to focus on the top reserve for each team. Not only do I think there is value in each player (as explained above), but it leads to my overarching point: The latest 6MOY odds are wrong.
Reid, who started the year as the 6MOY favorite, reclaimed his throne in mid-January and has been there ever since. However, his +100 odds don’t feel fair to me, and I actually think San Antonio Spurs guard Keldon Johnson (+300) should be the front-runner. With the calendar flipping to March, most award markets feel pretty set. But keep an eye on the Sixth Man of the Year race as one of the more competitive awards this year.
