A blowout win by the Minnesota Timberwolves in Game 6 against the Denver Nuggets extended the series, and we're offering our top Timberwolves vs. Nuggets player props based on the best NBA odds.
With their season on the line, the Minnesota Timberwolves shellacked the Denver Nuggets 115-70 at home, but now they head to Ball Arena in Denver for Game 7 on Sunday.
The Nuggets are 4.5-point favorites on their home court and still have the second-shortest NBA championship odds despite the loss.
For Minnesota to pull off another do-or-die win, Anthony Edwards will need to continue playing out of his mind and bolstering his NBA Finals MVP odds.
Here are our best Timberwolves vs. Nuggets player props and NBA picks (odds via our best NBA betting sites; pick confidence based on a 1-to-5-star scale).
T imberwolves vs. Nuggets Game 7 player props
- Anthony Edwards Over 28.5 points (-102 via FanDuel) ????
- Nikola Jokic Over 2.5 steals + blocks (-135 via bet365) ????
- Jamal Murray Under 30.5 points + rebounds + assists (-110 via DraftKings) ????

Timberwolves vs. Nuggets prop bet predictions for Sunday
Minnesota has a rich history of producing superstars that never win a championship for the Twin Cities. From Rod Carew to Randy Moss to Kevin Garnett, none of them took home a title to Minneapolis. Can Edwards change that?
Win or lose in Game 7, the Timberwolves young star has sent a statement to the rest of the NBA: he's the next unstoppable guard in the Association. The Nuggets haven't been able to slow Edwards, as he's averaging 29.7 in the series. He's scored at least 29 in 10 of his last 16 playoff games.
With the season on the line, I expect his usage to be through the roof with more than 40 minutes on the court and at least 20 shots. These odds imply a 50.49% probability he hits the Over, according to our odds calculator, with a $10 bet paying out $19.80.

Growing up on the playgrounds of Sombor, Serbia must have been hell. Imagine showing up to the local basketball court hoping to have some fun and then playing Nikola Jokic and his two grizzly bear-sized brothers. No wonder Jokic has no trouble bullying ball-handlers and tangling with big men who try to back him down.
While Jokic is by no means a Defensive Player of the Year candidate, he can be disruptive on that end. He's averaging 1.8 steals and one block per game in this series against Minnesota, and a quieter Game 6 has these odds longer than they've been for most of the series.
He's topped 2.5 steals and blocks in four of six games and had been averaging 3.4 prior to Game 6. These odds imply a 57.45% probability he hits the Over with a $10 bet cashing a $7.41 profit.

Maybe Jamal Murray finds redemption in Game 7, or maybe he takes inspiration from Bob Knight and throws a chair on the court this time. No matter what happens, I have a hard time seeing him finally put it together against this suffocating Timberwolves defense.
Murray is coming off a 10-point performance in Game 6 in which he shot just 22.2% from the floor and went 2-for-7 from three. He's been a mess and has averaged just 24.7 combined points, rebounds, and assists. In six games, he's gone Over 30.5 only twice while shooting just 33.3% from deep.
With Minnesota's defense ranking first in points allowed this season, I'm surprised these odds aren't shorter. They imply a probability of 52.38% that Murray will hit the Under and $10 bet on this prop pays out $19.09 on a winning ticket.
