- The OKC Thunder aim to end the series against the Minnesota Timberwolves and secure a spot in the NBA Finals.
- Anthony Edwards and Julius Randle scored only 21 points combined in Game 4 – will either shine on Wednesday?
- Check out my three-leg, +500 Timberwolves vs Thunder same-game parlay for May 28 below.
Following a thrilling Game 4 win, the OKC Thunder head home with an opportunity to eliminate the Minnesota Timberwolves and progress to the franchise’s second NBA Finals.
This series might be tied 2-2 if Minnesota’s Anthony Edwards and Julius Randle hadn’t been restricted to 21 points combined in the previous game.
The situation worsened with MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jalen Williams scoring a combined 74 points in their biggest game of the season.
We’re focusing on Minnesota’s main players in our Game 5 same-game parlay — with mixed results.

Timberwolves vs Thunder Parlay Leg #1 – Randle Over 17.5 Points
With OKC fully focused on stopping Anthony Edwards, Randle was expected to relieve some pressure off his star teammate but ended up with a disappointing game, scoring just five points on 1-for-7 shooting in their 128-126 loss.
Randle has alternated between impactful performances and poor outings in the Western Conference Finals.
If this pattern continues, Randle should step up in Minnesota’s biggest game of the season.
The Timberwolves are hoping for a return to Game 1 form for Randle in OKC, where he scored 28 points on 9-for-13 shooting from the field (and 5-for-6 from beyond the arc).
Randle needs to get to 18 points, compared to Ant’s 28, a target Randle has reached 11 times in 14 playoff games.
- The Bet: Randle Over 17.5 points (-115 at Bet365)
Timberwolves vs Thunder SGP Leg #2 – Holmgren Under 7.5 Rebounds
If not for SGA and Williams’ dominance at the Target Center in Game 4, more attention would have been on Chet Holmgren’s standout performance.
The third-year player had his third strong game in the WCF, scoring 21 points and making key plays on both ends.
However, Holmgren’s rebounding numbers have decreased against the Timberwolves, presenting a favorable line at plus-odds for this SGP.
Holmgren has been below his 7.5 rebounding line in every game this series, though reaching seven rebounds twice, including last game.
His role against Denver focused more on rebounding, but against Minnesota, he is playing more on the perimeter, maintaining spacing along the 3-point line on offense.
Being a 7-footer, he will collect some boards, but I believe he will stay under the total again.
- The Bet: Holmgren Under 7.5 rebounds (+110 at Bet365)
Timberwolves vs Thunder Same-Game Parlay Leg #3 – Edwards Under 3.5 3-Point Makes
Anthony Edwards might become the face of the NBA one day. But right now? The talented wing is having trouble being the go-to guy for his team.
Edwards was targeted by a robust OKC defense and became too passive, resulting in only two field goal attempts in the first half.
When Edwards decided to be aggressive, it was too late, finishing with 16 points on 13 shots and a poor 1-for-7 from beyond the arc.
The odds respect him with a make line set at 3.
