Best Anthony Edwards Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
Over 26.5 Points (-115)
Over his last 10 games, Anthony Edwards has stepped up even further, averaging 27.6 points, 6.3 rebounds and 4.7 assists. He will be eager to deliver another standout performance after scoring 28 points in Minnesota’s 116-115 loss to the Warriors.
Edwards’ frustrations with the Timberwolves’ slow starts have been evident. After Wednesday’s loss, he critiqued the team’s starting lineup. This candid self-assessment could motivate Edwards to take control early and set the tone offensively.
“The starting five, we are terrible,” Edwards said. “Every game, we come out low energy, and the second group comes in and gives us energy.”
The Knicks’ defensive unit presents a challenge, but Edwards has the tools to excel. His ability to score from all three levels and his physicality in attacking the rim will be critical, especially as New York manages without Karl-Anthony Towns. Edwards’ dynamic scoring and leadership make him a strong candidate to surpass 26.5 points.
Minnesota’s season has been riddled with inconsistency, but Edwards consistently calling the team out shows his motivation to get his squad on track. With the team battling for playoff positioning and looking to snap a frustrating streak of uneven performances, Edwards is well-positioned to deliver a big night at Madison Square Garden. He scored 35 points when he played at the venue last season.
