The Minnesota Timberwolves sit seventh in the West at 25-21, just half a game ahead of the eight-seed Phoenix Suns. As these two squads battle tonight, T-Wolves star Anthony Edwards is going to have to play a major role to keep his team ahead in the standings.
Here’s the top props for Edwards ahead of Wednesday’s 9 p.m. EST matchup.
Best Anthony Edwards prop bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
For tonight’s contest between the Timberwolves and Suns, Edwards’ lines are currently set at 28.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, 4.5 assists, and 3.5 three-pointers on DraftKings Sportsbook.
The Suns may be a tad shorthanded with superstar forward Kevin Durant and standout rookie Ryan Dunn both questionable. Otherwise, Phoenix is mostly healthy. However, they fall 23rd in defensive rating and don’t have a strong rotation of rim protectors or standout defenders.
Despite Edwards’ high line of 28.5 points, many bettors may target him to go over this total due to the Suns’ defensive struggles. Don’t be fooled, though. He averages 26.3 points per contest, but there’s more reason to believe he may go under.
It could be far more wise to target under 28.5 points for Edwards tonight at -120 odds. The under on this line has hit in three of his last five games, as well as six of his last ten. He’s also gone under 28.5 points in 31 of his 46 appearances this season, so while Edwards does have some high-scoring outbursts, they’ve mostly been few and far between thus far.
Part of the lack of high-scoring nights could be due to Edwards’ increasing usage as a passer. He averages 4.4 assists per game, but has gone over 4.5 assists in three of his last five; seven of his last ten; and nine of his last 15 contests. With that in mind, taking over 4.5 assists at -115 odds could be the move.
