The Minnesota Timberwolves are in bounce-back mode after getting crushed by the Boston Celtics in their last game on Sunday. Next on the schedule is a game on the road against the Toronto Raptors North of the border.

The Raptors are currently riding a three-game win streak and are 8-2 in their last ten games overall. Coincidentally, their last win was a 115-112 overtime thriller to the same Celtics that just destroyed the Timberwolves. 

But, this is not a matchup preview. Joe Summers covered this game already for BetSided. You can read that rundown here. This article is going to focus on just two players in this game, Karl-Anthony Towns and Pascal Siakam. 

Both lead their respective teams in scoring, rebounds and rank in the top four of assists per game. Needless to say, these guys are the heart and soul of their squads. This also brings up an intriguing argument. Which of these two has a better game in terms of going over their player props tonight?

With that in mind, let’s dig into the prop odds at WynnBET Sportsbook and make some predictions for these two superstars. 

Karl-Anthony Towns Player Props

O/U 22.5 Points. 9.5 Rebounds

Towns has actually been struggling a bit lately, both from the floor and on the glass. He has gone under this total in three straight games on the points side and two on the rebounding side. Towns hasn't gone over both of these totals in a single game since March 19 against the Milwaukee Bucks. 

This doesn't mean anything longterm for Towns. But, it does make me second guess how well he will do tonight in such a tough matchup. Between Towns and Siakam, the latter is my best bet to go off. 

Pascal Siakam Player Props

O/U 23.5 Points, 8.5 Rebound

Siakam, on the other hand, has been a scoring machine over the last couple of weeks. He went off for 40 points against the Celtics on Monday night, scored 23 on the Indiana Pacers over the weekend, and 35 against the Cavs last week. He is locked in from the field and I really like his odds to go over 23.5 points for the third time in five games. 

His rebounding, however, has not been all that recently. He did pull down 13 against the Celtics, but it was his only double-digit rebounding game since March 20. His rebounding average in March is down to 7.9 per game and Siakam has gone over this total just four times all month. 

So, I would say to take Siakam over on the points but under in the rebounding department.
