Key Player Prop Bets for Spurs vs. Timberwolves in 2026 NBA Playoffs Game 5

Game 5 of the San Antonio Spurs vs. Minnesota Timberwolves is scheduled to tip off at 8 p.m. ET on May 12, with several players becoming focal points for prop bets. Victor Wembanyama, who was ejected in Game 4 after scoring just four points, has an over/under set at 26.5 points for Tuesday. Despite his significant presence, he averages only 18.3 points per game against Minnesota and has been limited to 19 or fewer points in his first two home games against them. The SportsLine Projection Model forecasts Wembanyama finishing with 25 points, suggesting he will stay under the line. On the other hand, Julius Randle of the Timberwolves is projected to be a crucial player in Game 5. Averaging 14.3 points and 7.3 rebounds per game in this series, his over/under for points + assists + rebounds is also set at 26.5. SportsLine expert Alex Selesnick notes that Randle has struggled but believes this line is discounted, as he is averaging 23 PRA in the series despite poor shooting percentages. Dylan Harper of the Spurs is another player to watch, with an over/under of 11.5 points. With De'Aaron Fox questionable due to an ankle injury, Harper may see increased playing time. He has averaged 13.8 points in the playoffs and scored at least 11 points in three of four games against the Timberwolves. Top NBA Player Prop Picks: Victor Wembanyama, Spurs: Under 26.5 points Julius Randle, Timberwolves: Over 26.5 points + rebounds + assists Dylan Harper, Spurs: Over 11.5 points With the SportsLine Projection Model achieving over $10,000 in betting profit for $100 players over the past eight seasons, following its insights could lead to significant returns in this pivotal playoff matchup.
