Anthony Edwards has been on a scoring tear this season, averaging 28.3 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 3.8 assists per game. Tuesday night, he’ll look to lead Minnesota as they open the NBA Cup against the Trail Blazers, a team he’s had consistent success against in past matchups.
Here are some of the best Edwards prop bets on DraftKings Sportsbook for Tuesday’s game:
Best Anthony Edwards Prop Bets
26.5 Points (Over -120 / Under -110): Edwards’ scoring line sits at 26.5, slightly below his season average. He averaged 24.3 points over four games against Portland last season, though his recent form makes the over tempting. It could offer some value if Edwards carries his current rhythm into Tuesday’s matchup. While the under carries a slightly more favorable return, the Blazers’ defense may not be talented enough to have much effect since Edwards has scored 27 points or more six times this season. He’s failed to do so in only four games.
5.5 Rebounds (Over -125 / Under -105): With a rebounds line at 5.5, Edwards’ season average puts him right on the line. His recent performances show an active presence on the boards, and if Minnesota leans on him more due to lineup adjustments, the over could hit. The under, however, could be a solid play if you expect others to share the rebounding load. For reference, he’s recorded six or more rebounds in more games (six) than not (four) this season.
4.5 Assists (Over -125 / Under -105): Edwards’ assists line is 4.5, slightly exceeding his average of 3.8 per game. Against Portland’s struggling defense, he could find his teammates for open looks, especially if the Blazers key in on him defensively. The over might be worth a look for those expecting more playmaking, while the under is a good fallback if he focuses more on scoring. Remember, he’s recorded five assists in only three of his 10 games played thus far this season.
3.5 Threes (Over -148 / Under +115): Edwards has been prolific from deep this season, averaging 5.4 made threes per game. With Portland’s perimeter defense under scrutiny, the over 3.5 looks like a solid play. He’s made four or more threes in a game nine times this season compared to just one contest under that mark. The under might appeal to those envisioning a regression or an off-shooting night.
37.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (Over -120 / Under -110): The combined line of 37.5 points and assists highlights Edwards’ potential for a big night across multiple categories. The over offers good value for those expecting Edwards to lead the team offensively as he usually does. The under could pay off if a bettor is willing to take the risk of banking on an off night.
Double-Double (+550): While Edwards has yet to record a double-double this season, the +550 odds offer a high-reward option if he does. The last time he recorded a regular season double-double was on March 31 against the Bulls.
Game Leader Points (-115): For those confident in Edwards’ scoring potential, betting on him as the game’s points leader at -115 is an appealing choice. With a favorable matchup against Portland, this prop has strong potential if he takes on a primary scoring role. He’s favored to get the job done.
