Timberwolves vs. Suns Player Props & Odds: Friday's NBA Playoff Prop Bets
Minnesota travels to Phoenix for Game 3 with a commanding 2-0 series lead and we have made our top Timberwolves vs. Suns player props based on the best NBA odds.
Despite being favored, the Phoenix Suns now face a must-win scenario in their first-round series against the Minnesota Timberwolves, trailing 2-0 after the first two games. They'll need a strong performance to turn the tide in their favor.
The Phoenix Suns (49-33) were widely regarded as favorites heading into their first-round series against the Minnesota Timberwolves (56-26). However, they find themselves in a must-win situation down 2-0.
Game 3, scheduled to tip off at 10:30 p.m. ET on ESPN from Footprint Center in Phoenix, Ariz., presents an opportunity for the Suns to shift the momentum in their favor.
The Suns are still favored by 4 points in Game 3, and with NBA championship odds as high as +8000, they are well aware of the importance of standout performances from key players like Kevin Durant or Devin Booker to keep their title aspirations alive.

Timberwolves vs. Suns prop bet predictions for Friday
Jaden McDaniels Over 4.5 rebounds ⭐⭐⭐⭐
One of the best ways to boost your rebounding totals is to simply be on the court. And I can't imagine the Timberwolves resting McDaniels after his stellar showing in Game 2.
The fourth-year wing set playoff career highs with 25 points in 41 minutes on Tuesday, and he helped shut down the Suns' stars on the other end. He also quietly finished with eight rebounds after grabbing six boards in Game 1.
When McDaniels plays at least 37 minutes - as he's done in both games this series - he's cleared this total six times in 10 tries. Yet these +122 odds imply just a 45.05% chance that he'll do it again with a $22.20 payout on a $10 wager, based on our odds converter. Sign me up for that.
Best odds: +122 via FanDuel
Kevin Durant Over 5.5 1Q points ⭐⭐⭐
If the Suns have any shot of making a deep run, someone needs to come out firing in Game 3. I fully expect that to be Durant, who scored 11 points in the first quarter of Game 1 before hitting just one of four attempts to open Game 2.
Durant has only been down 2-0 five times in his postseason career, and he's averaged 4.6 shot attempts in the first quarter of Game 3 in those five series. Though he's cleared this scoring total in just two of them, he also typically enjoyed an embarrassment of riches as his supporting cast.
Booker has been shut down by McDaniels thus far, and nobody else on this Suns roster seems equipped to step up on Friday. With odds as short as -145 across the rest of our best sportsbooks, I don't mind these -130 odds, which pay out $17.69 on a $10 wager.
Best odds: -130 via DraftKings
Naz Reid Over 12.5 pts + reb ⭐⭐⭐
Reid, who cashed as an underdog by the NBA Sixth Man of the Year odds, saw his fifth-fewest minutes (16) of the entire season in Game 2. That feels like an aberration for the Timberwolves' super-sub, who averaged 13.5 points and 5.2 rebounds in the regular season.
Entering Tuesday, Reid had cleared this total in four straight and 34 of his previous 37 games. Fourteen of those came in the starting lineup, but he's still a pivotal part of the rotation in this series, especially with starter Karl-Anthony Towns' minutes limited by injury management and foul trouble.
Best odds: -120 via bet365
