The Minnesota Timberwolves look to build momentum after snapping their three-game skid when they visit the Houston Rockets on Friday night.
Both teams are coming off notable performances, with Anthony Edwards guiding the Timberwolves past the Dallas Mavericks on Christmas and Houston riding a four-game winning streak.
Edwards scored 26 points, grabbed eight rebounds, and dished out five assists in the Timberwolves’ 105-99 win over Dallas. He’s in the midst of an impressive season, averaging 25.3 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 4.0 assists in 29 games this season.
Here’s the best Anthony Edwards prop bet to consider on DraftKings Sportsbook for Friday’s matchup against the Rockets:
Best Anthony Edwards Prop Bet on DraftKings Sportsbook
Game Leader – Anthony Edwards Most Points (+105)
Edwards has consistently been Minnesota’s top-scoring option and continues to rise to the occasion when the Timberwolves need him most. His 26-point performance against the Mavericks came at a critical moment, holding off a late surge from Dallas to secure the win. Edwards has averaged 25.3 points per game this season and has a strong outlook as the clear-cut go-to scorer for Minnesota’s offense.
Despite their recent defensive success, the Rockets are still vulnerable to elite guards. With Dillon Brooks (ankle) and Tari Eason (leg) potentially sidelined for Houston, the Rockets could lack the on-ball defensive impact necessary to contain Edwards. While Amen Thompson remains an option, Brooks is typically tasked with guarding the opponent’s top perimeter scorer, and his absence could lead to more favorable matchups for Edwards.
Minnesota’s offense has been inconsistent, but Edwards’ volume and ability to take over late in games provide strong value at +105 to lead all scorers. The Rockets’ recent stretch of offensive success might push the Timberwolves into a higher-scoring affair, increasing Edwards’ opportunities to pile on points.
