Down to just one Conference Finals, it will be all the Minnesota Timberwolves have to avoid a similar fate just suffered by the Pacers. The Dallas Mavericks are in full control of this series as no team has ever climbed back from a 3-0 deficit, as they look to shut the door on the Wolves. Both Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving have been stellar, where Anthony Edwards has looked far too often for help. Let’s jump on some fantastic value tonight and build a 6x Sleeper card!

Karl-Anthony Towns M/L Than 18.5 Points
Maybe it’s the massive contract or general belief that it simply can’t get worse, but Karl Anthony Towns is getting a massive benefit of the doubt. Mainly because that’s all he’s provided through three games; an overall doubt of whether he can ever be that guy alongside Anthony Edwards. His current points total sits at 18.5 on Sleeper and we are inclined to emphatically say less than 18.5 is the play. The Mavericks success comes with frustrating and ultimately stopping Towns from doing much offensively, including from deep.
Towns’ best game shooting was the first in this series, 30% from the floor on 20 shots. While he may see a similar workload of volume tonight, he’s not going to figure anything out to drastically change his performance. He’s not missing wide open looks as the Mavs sag off, doubling elsewhere. This is a defensive effort that’s yielded very little on the offensive end from Towns — that remains the same tonight.

Daniel Gafford M/L Than 20.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists
Dallas is getting the most out of their two superstars in a series that demands it against the Wolves defense. Daniel Gafford is not part of the game plan. He’s benefitted at times, mainly the first two games, from shot volume but he was a non-factor last game. Even with 9 shots in Game 1, Gafford failed to register an assist and finished with 19 PRA. He was relegated to 4 shots, 5 points due to foul trouble. Minnesota should go right at him again. Even without the four fouls, Gafford is not a focus on the offensive end enough to warrant consideration for a more play.
The lack of assists are a killer. Even with 1 baked into the line, he’s not any luck to land that — just one assist over the entire three game series so far. Dallas isn’t asking him to make that extra pass, he’s lucky to put up much volume tonight, and recently struggled on the glass. Even with four fouls, Gafford saw a series-high 29 minutes, further proof he was conveniently passed on offense (2 of 4 from the floor) and notched just three rebounds. There aren’t many game scripts that call for a turnaround tonight.
