Minnesota Timberwolves -5.5 (-110)
The Wolves have taken advantage with Curry sidelined and have won two straight games. Minnesota has covered the spread in seven of its last 11 games and missed it by half a point in Game 3. With no Curry and a chance to go up 3-1, look for the Wolves to come out aggressive and put their foot on the gas.
Julius Randle 20+ points (-140)
Randle is averaging 22.4 points in the 2025 NBA playoffs, which is up from his 18.7 regular-season average. The Kentucky product has gone over 20-plus points in six of his last seven games. He’s also tallied 24 points in two straight games, making 10 shots in each game.
Buddy Hield 3+ 3-Pointers (-200)
The Warriors will need some floor spacers, and Hield is someone they can rely on. The 32-year-old has made 37% of his 3-pointers and elevated his play in the postseason, making 42.9% of those shots from downtown. Hield has also made four-plus 3-pointers in four straight matchups.
