SportsLine model projects Spurs-Timberwolves Game 6 prop outcomes
Data-driven analysis suggests Rudy Gobert and Dylan Harper may exceed their posted lines in Friday’s critical sixth game.
SportsLine’s projection model and expert analysts have released player prop recommendations for Game 6 of the 2026 NBA Playoffs between the San Antonio Spurs and the Minnesota Timberwolves. The model projects Rudy Gobert to average 9.1 points, exceeding the posted line of 6.5, while expert Doug Kralstein backs Spurs guard Dylan Harper to clear his points and rebounds total. The model also anticipates a strong combined performance from Julius Randle, projecting 24.3 points and rebounds.
Game 6 tips off at 9:30 p.m. ET, with Minnesota seeking to keep its season alive after losing Game 5 to San Antonio on Tuesday. In that contest, center Rudy Gobert scored only four points. However, historical data cited by the model indicates Gobert has scored 11 or more points in two of his past three meetings with the Spurs, despite averaging just 8.0 points per game in the current series.
Spurs guard Dylan Harper has been a focal point of the model’s attention. Harper is averaging 14.6 points per game during this series and has cleared his points-plus-rebounds line in four of five games. His recent performances include 31 points and 22 rebounds in Game 4, followed by 22 points in Game 5.
