NBA Best Player Props Today – May 26th & 27th, 2025

The NBA Conference Finals are really heating up.

The Minnesota Timberwolves can tie up the series at 2-2 tonight against the Oklahoma City Thunder or fall into a gauntlet down 3-1.

Hopefully, the game can be exciting since the series has been filled with blowouts. It’ll be hard to match last night’s incredible entertainment, as the Knicks overcame a 20-point deficit to beat the Pacers 106-100.

We’ve provided one straight bet for tonight and a parlay for both games.

Remember to wager responsibly and carefully monitor your bankroll.

Rudy Gobert Over 6.5 Points (+105) at DraftKings

The Frenchman averaged 12 points per game during the regular season, and while his output has dropped during the playoffs (7.9), he’s been consistent at home.

At the Target Center, he’s eclipsed 6.5 points in 16 of his last 20 contests (80%) with an average of 12.75 points.

Including the regular season and playoffs, the 7-foot-1 center has scored seven or more points in 67 out of 85 outings (78.82%).

Gobert has surpassed 6.5 points in two of four games against the Thunder and will be guarded by Chet Holmgren and Isaiah Hartenstein.

Holmgren is listed as the same height as Gobert but is 50 pounds lighter than him, which makes defending him in the post challenging.

Hartenstein is only 10 pounds lighter, but is an inch shorter.

During the playoffs, Oklahoma City ranks second in pace (100.54), and Minnesota is eighth (95.38), which should lead to more possessions and give Gobert more opportunities to score.

While the first three contests haven’t been extremely closely contested, bookmakers list the Thunder as three-point favorites for tonight. If the game stays close as predicted, Gobert should see the hardwood for around 28-33 minutes.

Despite Gobert not being a primary scoring option for Minnesota, the +105 odds at DraftKings definitely caught my eye, with other bookmakers such as bet365 and Caesars listing him at -115 to score over 6.5 points.

Julius Randle 15+ Points & Jalen Brunson 25+ Points (-132) at DraftKings

This parlay feels too enticing considering both players’ form over this series and throughout the playoffs.

Randle’s Outlook 

The former Kentucky Wildcat has elevated his play this postseason and is averaging 22.8 points per game compared to 18.7 during the regular season.

In the last series against Golden State, he averaged 25.2 points per game. He’s already scored at least 24 points in two out of three games against the Thunder and came out aggressive in Game 3, making 9-of-15 field goals (24 points) after going cold in Game 2 and scoring only six points (2-for-11).

He sat out the entire fourth quarter in Game 2.

The 30-year-old has scored 15 or more points in nine of his last 10 games, including in 16 of his last 20 (80%).

This season, he’s hit the mark in 78% of contests (64-of-82). 

While Oklahoma City has been stout against power forwards (ranks sixth by allowing 21.6 points per game to the position), it has been poor defending the three against the position.

The Thunder rank 24th in the category and have allowed 2.7 buckets from downtown to opposing power forwards.

Randle has attempted more threes during the playoffs than in the regular season.

He averaged 5.6 attempts against the Lakers, 5.4 facing the Warriors and currently 4.7 versus the Thunder.

Randle should come out aggressive yet again, as he has throughout this postseason. Even in the regular season, he averaged 18.7 points per game. 

Brunson’s Outlook

The Villanova product has been a scoring machine in the playoffs by averaging 29.9 points.

Against the Pacers, Brunson scored 43 points in Game 1 (in 38 minutes) and 36 points (in 39 minutes) in Game 2.

He scored only 23 points in Game 3, but he got into early foul trouble, which resulted in him seeing the court for just 31 minutes.

The 28-year-old has scored 25 or more points in 13 of his last 20 games (65%).

Brunson only averaged 18.5 field goals per game during the regular season, but the shots have been flying with 22.5 field goal attempts per game during the playoffs.

Last postseason, he averaged 26.2 field goal attempts per game. He’s seen a slight improvement, shooting 44.4% from the floor last year to 45% this year.

The Pacers struggle to defend the point guard position and rank 22nd in the NBA in points allowed to the position.

Since Dec. 30, 2023, Brunson has scored 25 or more points in 12/16 contests (75%) against Indiana and has averaged 30.25 points per game during that span.

The games have come down to the wire in this series, and the Pacers are 2.5-point favorites. If the game remains close and if Brunson doesn’t end up in major foul trouble like in Game 3, he should see about 40 minutes on the floor as the team’s top scoring option.

The odds at DraftKings (-132) hold much more value than at any other book, as showcased below.
