The Minnesota Timberwolves will look to add some revenge in Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals.
Dallas took control of Game 1 on the road. The least the Timberwolves can do is tie up the series before heading off to Dallas.
That said, here are three NBA player props to consider for tonight's Game 2 between the Dallas Mavericks and Minnesota Timberwolves.
May 24 Best NBA Player Props
Karl-Anthony Towns Over 20.5 Points (-115) CLICK HERE TO SEE WHICH SPORTSBOOK HAS THE BEST ODDS
In the playoffs, Karl-Anthony Towns is the second-leading scorer for the Timberwolves.
However, in the Mavericks' Game 1 loss, Towns added just 16 points after shooting 6-for-20 from the field.
He shot just 30% but still scored 16 points. In the other two series against the Suns and Nuggets, Towns shot at least 40% in all but one game. Therefore, at home, I'd expect a bounce-back performance out of Towns tonight.
Even if he shoots 40% on 20 shots, he should get to 21 points.
Jaden McDaniels Over 1.5 Threes (-113) CLICK HERE TO SEE WHICH SPORTSBOOK HAS THE BEST ODDS
Jaden McDaniels has been the biggest surprise of the playoffs. He's the third-leading scorer for Minnesota after three consecutive 20+ point performances.
McDaniels finished the Denver series with back-to-back 20-point games to knock off the Nuggets. Then, in Game 1 against the Mavericks, he went 6-for-9 from three and scored 24 points.
During this run, he's added at least three three-pointers in each game. Let's continue to roll with the hot hand. He's literally 12-for-18 from downtown in his last three games.
Derrick Jones Jr. Under 3.5 Rebounds (-118) CLICK HERE TO SEE WHICH SPORTSBOOK HAS THE BEST ODDS
While Derrick Jones Jr. added four rebounds in Game 1 of this series, Jones Jr. only hauled in an average of 3.2 rebounds against the Thunder in his last series.
He also averaged 3.3 rebounds per game during the regular season. While he'll likely play 35 minutes in tonight's game, just going based on averages and probability, he's more likely to hit three rebounds or fewer.
After all, Jones Jr. hit this line in only 44% of games this season and is facing a Minnesota team that ranks top-ten in limiting small forwards from adding rebounds.
