Victor Wembanyama prop pick
Victor Wembanyama best bet: Under 3.5 blocks (+105 at bet365)
The Minnesota Timberwolves are desperately trying to find a solution for the San Antonio Spurs’ defense.
Minnesota has the lowest effective field goal rate among all teams in Round 2 (47.1 EFG%) and has been plagued by poor starts, either mindlessly attacking the paint with Victor Wembanyama patrolling the paint or settling for tough outside shots.

To combat those slow starts, T-Wolves head coach Chris Finch told reporters that his offense needs to be patient and take its time, moving the ball to improve its chances in Game 6.
To find that space, Minnesota could go with a smaller rotation to stretch the Spurs’ interior defense.
We saw a bit of this in Game 5. Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert received his fewest minutes of the postseason, as Finch utilized stretch forwards Julius Randle, Naz Reid, and Jalen McDaniels at the No. 5 spot in order to draw Wembamyama away from the rim.
Wemby finished with only three blocks across 33 minutes in Game 5, and a more calculated attack from Minnesota – one that draws the 7-footer to the outside – would keep his shot swatting to a minimum.

Projections for Wembanyama range from 2.5 to 3.5 blocks in Game 6, with most models below 3 rejections.
