NBA Best Player Props Today – May 20th & 21st, 2025

The NBA Conference Finals have arrived and we’ve crafted up a same-game parlay for players in both games along with a straight pick for tonight’s action.

The No. 1 seed Oklahoma City Thunder hosts the No. 6 seed Minnesota Timberwolves tonight with the tip set for 8:30 p.m. ET. 

Minnesota is attempting to reach its first-ever NBA Finals, while Oklahoma City is trying to make it to the grand finale for the first time since the 2011-2012 season (lone appearance).

The New York Knicks (3-seed) host the No. 4 Indiana Pacers in the Eastern Conference Finals on Wednesday at 8:00 p.m. ET. 

Indiana is trying to reach its first finals since the 1999-2000 campaign (lone appearance), and the Knicks are attempting to reach them after previously doing so in 1998-1999.

The Thunder, Wolves and Pacers are all aiming to win their maiden NBA Title. Before relocating to Oklahoma City, 

Remember to bet responsibly and be careful with your bankroll.

Conley Over 9.5 Pts/Reb/Ast & Hart Over 9.5 Pts (-122) at DraftKings

Conley’s Outlook

The veteran has played a key role during Minnesota’s playoff run and is averaging 13.9 points, rebounds and assists.

During the regular season, he averaged 15.3.

The 37-year-old has eclipsed 9.5 PRA in four of his past five games (80%) and in 16 of the previous 20 (80%). 

Against the Thunder, he’s beaten this mark in five of his past six (83%) and is averaging 15.33 PRA against them this season in three battles. 

Conley vs. OKC this season

• Feb 24: 9 PRA in 14 minutes (8 points and one assist)
• Feb 23: 16 PRA in 31 minutes (9 points, five assists and two rebounds)
• Dec 31: 21 PRA in 21 minutes (16 points, four assists and one rebound)

Conley was forced to sit for most of the outing on Feb. 24 due to foul trouble, limiting him to just 14 minutes. He still came extremely close to the 9.5 mark with 9.

Superstar Anthony Edwards should be slightly more limited in the scoring department due to being guarded by Lu Dort, which opens the door for Conley.

Edwards has averaged 22.25 points per game in four meetings with Thunder this season, which is 5.35 less than his season average (27.6).

Most bookmakers feature Conley’s points, rebounds and assists total at 13.5. 

Hart’s Outlook

Here we go again. The last time I tipped Hart for an alternate points parlay with Draymond Green, he got into foul trouble and sold it by scoring just six points. He sat for practically the entire fourth quarter.

If it happens again, well then I’m cursed picking Hart, especially because he’s eclipsed 9.5 points in 74-of-89 games (83%) this season.

During the regular season, Hart averaged 13.6 points per game, and so far in the postseason, 13.2.

The Pacers have been one of the Villanova product’s favorite teams to play against in terms of scoring. He’s averaged 22 points against them in three meetings.

Hart vs. IND this season

• Feb 11: 30 points in 40 minutes 
• Nov. 10: 16 points in 43 minutes 
• Oct. 25: 20 points in 37 minutes

The 30-year-old small forward/shooting guard has scored 10 or more points 80% of the time in both his past five games and last 10. 

Oddsmakers feature the Knicks as 4.5-point favorites so if Hart can stay out of foul trouble, and the game does remain competitive as predicted, he should see the floor for most of the night.

Hart’s standard point total is listed by most operators at 12.5 points.

The Knicks ranked eighth in pace (95.30) compared to the third-ranked Pacers (99.27). This gives Hart even more chances to score with the Knicks likely having more possessions than usual if the teams play up to their normal speeds.

DraftKings is offering the best odds for this same-game parlay as showcased below.

Dort Over 11.5 Points, Rebounds, & Assists (-125) at DraftKings

The Canadian guard has beaten this line in 10 of his past 10 home games and in 72% of home contests this season.

During the regular season, Dort averaged 15.8 points, rebounds and assists and is averaging 12.5 during the postseason. 

Dort’s main assignment tonight will be covering Anthony Edwards, so he should see the floor for plenty of minutes, giving him plenty of opportunities to beat the threshold of 11.5.

The 26-year-old has a streak going of 15 consecutive home contests with at least 11.5 points, rebounds and assists. He’s averaging 17.7 during that span.

He’s averaged 15.25 PRA against the Timberwolves in four career games against them.

In his last outing versus Minnesota, he only manufactured nine PRA, primarily caused by shooting 20% from the field. He had plenty of chances with his 10 field goal attempts.

This will be another battle of two top-10 teams in terms of pace, which means more possessions and opportunities to collect stats.

 During the regular season, Oklahoma City ranked second (101.18) and Minnesota was 10th (94.55). 

DraftKings’ line of 11.5 holds value thanks to many other bookmakers listing Dort’s total at 12.5.
