Best Anthony Edwards Prop Bet on DraftKings Sportsbook
Over 26.5 Points (-115)
Anthony Edwards continues to deliver as the Timberwolves’ go-to scorer, averaging 26.1 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 4.2 assists across 41 games this season. His recent momentum has been particularly impressive, as he’s averaged 35.0 points, 9.0 rebounds, and 5.3 assists over his last three games.
On Friday night, Edwards showcased his scoring prowess with a double-double of 36 points and 13 rebounds against the Knicks, shooting an efficient 12-of-21 from the floor, including 8-of-13 from beyond the arc. When his pull-up three is dropping, it’s tough for any defense to contain.
Edwards faces a Cavaliers defense that struggled in its most recent outing, allowing 134 points to the Thunder. Cleveland’s backcourt, led by Donovan Mitchell and Darius Garland, offers offensive firepower but may have difficulty containing Edwards’ athleticism and ability to create shots in transition and isolation situations. The absence of Donte DiVincenzo due to injury puts even more responsibility on Edwards to lead Minnesota’s scoring attack.
The Cavaliers are adjusting after dropping two of their last three games and will look to improve defensively against Edwards and the Timberwolves. However, Minnesota’s star guard has demonstrated his ability to shine in key matchups, especially at home.
With Edwards’ current scoring rhythm and Minnesota’s reliance on him to generate offense, the setup is favorable for him to surpass 26.5 points. Expect Edwards to rise as the Timberwolves aim to secure a crucial victory against a top Eastern Conference opponent.
