Sun May 11 02:50:00 UTC 2025: **Timberwolves’ Randle: A Risky Prop Bet for Game 3 Against Warriors**
San Francisco, CA – With the Western Conference Semifinals tied 1-1, sports analyst Bryan Armetta of DraftKings offers his take on a prop bet for Game 3 between the Minnesota Timberwolves and Golden State Warriors. While the Timberwolves are favored, Armetta cautions against betting on Julius Randle’s point total.
Randle’s impressive Game 2 performance (24 points, 7 rebounds, 11 assists) might tempt bettors, but Armetta points to Randle’s inconsistent history against Golden State. In his last ten games against the Warriors, Randle has failed to reach 20 points in six of them. Furthermore, Armetta notes that Anthony Edwards’ struggles could mean fewer touches for Randle.
Armetta suggests focusing instead on Randle’s rebounding. While Randle has exceeded five rebounds only twice this postseason, the Warriors’ smaller lineup, often featuring Draymond Green at center, could favor Randle on the boards. In eight of his last ten games against Golden State, he’s secured at least seven rebounds.
Armetta concludes that while Randle’s overall performance is uncertain, his rebounding presents a more reliable betting opportunity. He emphasizes that this is his personal opinion and doesn’t guarantee success. Gamblers should exercise their own judgment.
