Here, we look at the best player props to put money on for the highly-anticipated matchup.
Top players props in Minnesota Timberwolves vs Denver Nuggets (2024 NBA Playoffs Game 7)
1. Jamal Murray Points: Under 19.5 (-105)
Jamal Murray has scored at least 20 points in this series only once in six games thus far. That happened in Game 2, and his form has firmly been monotonous since then. We expect things to continue in the same vein in Game 7.
2. Jamal Murray 3-pointers: Under 2.5
Murray is shooting just over 31% from the 3-point zone in the current series. He has made at least three 3-pointers just once in this series, which makes him the second-favorite pick to punt on with respect to Game 7.
3. Nuggets Team Total: Over 101.5 Points (-110)
There is little doubt that the Nuggets have things to prove after the disastrous outing last time around. Despite Murray not expected to turn things around, Jokic & Co. can be expected to score more than 101 points comfortably.
4. Michael Porter Jr. Points: Under 13.5 (-118)
Michael Porter Jr. threatened to burst into form in Games 1 and 3, scoring 20 and 21 points, respectively. However, he has managed a grand total of 18 in the last three games and is a favorable pick at under 13.5 points.
5. Nikola Jokic Assists: Over 9.5 (-125)
Nikola Jokic will again be the powerhouse of the Nuggets’ offense and will be expected to put up a humongous triple-double. While that might be a bit of a punt, this one does not seem like one.
6. Anthony Edwards Points: Over 24.5 (-110)
Anthony Edwards should continue his scoring spree, without which the Nuggets might find things straightforward at home. He has failed to score more than 25 times in this series, but that is not expected to happen in potentially his most important game of the season.
7. Rudy Gobert Rebounds: Over 11.5 (-135)
Gobert is the chief architect of the Timberwolves’ defense and crucial to their chances of advancing to the Conference Finals. His ability to rack up defensive boards should allow him to get at least 12, which he also managed in the previous matchup.
8. Aaron Gordon Rebounds: Over 6.5 (-125)
Aaron Gordon has been an essential part of Denver’s frontcourt and has managed at least seven rebounds in the series thus far. With Murray’s form taking a dip, he can be expected to be in the thick of the action in Game 7.
9. Karl-Anthony Towns 3-Pointers: Over 1.5 (-180)
Karl-Anthony Towns has caught fire from the three-point range and has made seven of his last 10 attempts in the series. He has returned with at least 2 three-pointers in the series and is expected to follow suit in Game 7.
10. Nikola Jokic Points: Over 30.5 (-122)
Arguably the most ambitious pick on the list, Jokic breached the 30-point mark twice in the series, in Games 1, 4 and 5. While Game 6 was surely just a blip, he will be itching to set things right in the series decider.
