In a rematch of the season opener, the Minnesota Timberwolves will host the Los Angeles Lakers at 8 p.m. ET (NBA TV) on Monday inside Target Center.

The Lakers (12-8) earned a 110-103 win over the Timberwolves (9-10) on opening night, but they enter the rematch as 7.5-point underdogs. That’s likely due to Los Angeles being shorthanded following Sunday’s 105-104 victory over the Utah Jazz.

Our Lakers vs. Timberwolves NBA player props provide the best bets for Monday’s marquee matchup.

The Lakers have played two back-to-backs on the road this season, and James has shown every bit of his age (39) both times.

  • Nov. 16 at the New Orleans Pelicans: 21 points (8-of-19 shooting)
  • Nov. 27 at the San Antonio Spurs: 16 points (8-of-18)

Thanks to a projection of 20.65 points, I have a sizable edge on this Under ahead of Monday’s matchup in Minnesota. James’ scoring prop has dropped to 22.5 at FanDuel, so it’s worth grabbing the deal at DraftKings.

Betting on James to struggle is the best way to have action on Monday’s Lakers-Timberwolves matchup. Lately, I’ve been attacking his turnovers prop.

James’ three turnovers against the Jazz marked the first time since Nov. 10 that he finished with fewer than four turnovers. It snapped a nine-game streak of four-plus turnovers, averaging 5.33 per game over that span.

Austin Reaves and D’Angelo Russell missed Sunday’s game in Utah. If they are out again, James will shoulder even more on-ball responsibilities, leading to more turnovers against Minnesota’s defense. I like this Over at -175 or better.

Mike Conley prop bet: Over 5.5 assists ⭐⭐⭐

Best odds: +110 via bet365 | Implied probability: 47.62%

Now that the Timberwolves are healthy, they have tightened up their rotation. Point guard Mike Conley has played 30-plus minutes in four straight contests, averaging 4.25 dimes per contest.

Conley has led the team in passes made (57.3) and ranks third in potential assists (8.0) over the last four games, suggesting he’s due for some positive regression in the assist department. That could come against a Lakers defense that ranks 26th in defensive rating.

I project a fair price of -121 for this Over on Conley’s assist prop. A $10 bet on this prop could provide a nice $11 payout. At least I’m betting on one old guy to play well on Monday.
