As the NBA playoffs heat up, the spotlight shifts to crucial matchups and player performances to watch. With the Golden State Warriors facing off against the Minnesota Timberwolves, several player props are generating interest. Jimmy Butler stands out, particularly with an odds boost for over 6.5 assists, a trend supported by a +3.2 assist increase with Steph Curry sidelined. Expect Butler to play heavy minutes, enhancing his potential for assists.

Draymond Green's prop for over 1.5 three-pointers is intriguing, given his increased shooting volume without Curry. Meanwhile, Naz Reid's scoring line of over 12.5 points could be pivotal as he looks to build on a solid game one performance, while Anthony Edwards is expected to contribute significantly in assists and rebounds. His prop is set over 12.5 combined, reflecting his recent double-digit rebounding efforts.
