Before we dive into the Minnesota Timberwolves vs. Oklahoma City Thunder game let’s review the rules for the Draftkings single game showdown contest.

Draftkings Single Game Showdown Contest Rules

You have $50,000 to utilize on five players from either team. However, one of those players will be designated as your team captain. The captain accumulates 1.5 times the standard fantasy points. Additionally, the captain is 1.5 times the standard cost of the flex position.

The remaining four players in your lineup will receive the standard fantasy points. Having stated that, it is highly important for you to identify the correct player for your captain position if you hope to win a large field DFS GPP (guaranteed prize pool) showdown contest.

If you have additional questions regarding the rules for the single game showdown contest, I recommend that you check out the Draftkings website for more details.

*I recommend that all readers review the starting lineups for both teams prior to setting your DFS lineup for this one game slate.

Here are my Draftkings picks for tomorrow night’s Timberwolves vs. Thunder matchup.

Draftkings NBA Showdown Picks

Captain-Jalen Williams, Forward, Oklahoma City Thunder $9,400

In the 81 games that Williams has played for the Oklahoma City Thunder in the 2024 NBA season (including playoffs), Williams is averaging 21.3 points, 5.4 rebounds, 5.2 assists, 1.6 steals and 0.7 blocks a game.

Looking closer at the data just presented, in the 81 games that Jalen Williams has played for the Thunder this season, Williams has averaged 40.3 Draftkings points a game.

It is noteworthy that these two teams have met multiple times this season. How did Jalen Williams perform in the most recent matchup? In the Oklahoma City Thunder’s 114-98 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves two days ago, Thunder forward Jalen Williams played rather well. More specifically, Williams compiled 19 points, eight rebounds, five assists and five steals in the Thunder’s victory over the Timberwolves.

In summary, I think Jalen Williams reasonable Draftkings price of $9,400 presents outstanding value. For that specific reason, I am backing Oklahoma City Thunder forward Jalen Williams at the captain position for this one game Draftkings NBA single game contest.

Flex Plays

Anthony Edwards, Guard, Minnesota Timberwolves $11,800

Guard Anthony Edwards has been the driving force behind the Minnesota Timberwolves success on the basketball court this season. Let’s examine Edwards game data from the 2024 NBA season (including playoff games) to better shed light on my previous statement.

In the 89 games that guard Anthony Edwards has played for the Minnesota Timberwolves in the 2024 NBA season, Edwards is averaging 27.4 points, 6.1 rebounds, 4.7 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.7 blocks a game.

Looking closer at the data just presented, in the 89 games that Anthony Edwards played for the Timberwolves this season, Edwards compiled a 44.7% field goal percentage, a 39.5% three-point percentage, and an 83.7% free throw percentage.

More recently, in the Timberwolves 121-110 defeat of the Golden State Warriors one week ago, Anthony Edwards amassed 57.3 Draftkings points.

In conclusion, I fully expect Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards to continue his outstanding play in tomorrow evening’s matchup with the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Additional flex plays I like to play well in tomorrow night’s Western Conference playoff game (Draftkings price noted): Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Point Guard (Oklahoma City Thunder) $12,400: Mike Conley, Guard (Minnesota Timberwolves) $4,800: Naz Reid, Forward (Minnesota Timberwolves) $6,200.

Captain-Karl-Anthony Towns, Center, New York Knicks $9,800

Veteran center Karl-Anthony Towns has been a standout performer for the New York Knicks this season.

These two teams have met multiple times this season. How did Anthony Towns perform in the most recent matchup? Who prevailed? In February, Karl-Anthony Towns had a dominant performance in the New York Knicks 128-115 win over the Indiana Pacers. Anthony Towns finished the game with 40 points, 12 rebounds, 5 assists, and 3 steals, making 14 of 23 shots from the field.

As I noted in the rules section above, selecting the correct player at the captain position for a Draftkings NBA showdown lineup is absolutely vital if you hope to win a large field GPP (guaranteed prize pool) DFS contest. Keep that in mind as you construct your lineups.

In summary, I think Karl-Anthony Towns is the most likely player to post the most Draftkings points in this NBA playoff game. For that specific reason, I am backing New York Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns at the captain position for this one game Draftkings NBA single game contest.

It is noteworthy that Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum will miss the remainder of the 2025 NBA playoffs due to injury. In my opinion, the absence of Tatum in the Celtics lineup should present Jaylen Brown with more offensive opportunities in tonight’s Eastern Conference playoff game.

As I noted in the rules section above, selecting the correct player at the captain position for a Draftkings NBA showdown lineup is absolutely vital if you hope to win a large field GPP (guaranteed prize pool) DFS contest. Keep that in mind as you construct your lineups.
