The LA Lakers and Minnesota Timberwolves are both part of the logjam in the middle of the Western Conference standings, and notably both got star players back on the court recently. Karl-Anthony Towns has the Wolves winning games and back over .500 and Lebron (when he’s not getting told he’s too small by Patrick Beverly) is being a perfect sidekick to Austin Reaves.

Let’s check out the prop market for Lakers Timberwolves in Minnesota.

Lakers vs. Timberwolves best NBA prop bets

Austin Reaves OVER 14.5 points (-118)
D’Angelo Russell OVER 17.5 points (-111)
Mike Conley UNDER 11.5 points (+100)

Austin Reaves OVER 14.5 points (-118)

When the Lakers were as short handed as its been all season, a star was born. Reaves has been really good this month averaging 17.6 points a game and still had 19 last game while everyone was healthy for LA.

D’Angelo Russell OVER 17.5 points (-111)

D’Angelo Russell revenge game? From his first stint on the Lakers through his entire career, Russell has struck me as a bit petty, so I wouldn’t be surprised if he was pulling up a few more times than usual. The Lakers couldn’t be too upset if he does though, he’s averaging 21.0 points in eight games this month.

Mike Conley UNDER 11.5 points (+100)

With the Wolves, Conley has been tasked with providing some spacing and in March he’s shooting 6.0 threes a game the most he’s averaged in any month this season. I’m fading him because the Lakers are the second best team at defending three point shooting in the NBA.
