The Minnesota Timberwolves are coming off an 18-point win against the Phoenix Suns on Sunday. Tonight, they host the Philadelphia 76ers at 8:00 p.m. ET. The Sixers have lost 10 of their previous 11 games.
Edwards is coming off of a 44-point performance against the Suns. He is averaging 27.6 points, six rebounds and 4.6 assists per contest this season. Here is my favorite player prop for Edwards against the 76ers tonight.
Anthony Edwards over 3.5 three-pointers (-135)
Although Edwards is coming off a 40-plus point game, let’s look at his three-point shooting. He has improved drastically as a shooter this season, hitting three-pointers at a 40 percent rate on 10.2 attempts. You can get Edwards at -135 on DraftKings Sportsbook to hit more than 3.5 three-pointers against the Sixers.
Edwards increased his three-point attempts by 3.5 and made five percent more this season. In the previous 10 games, Edwards has made more than 3.5 three-pointers seven times. In February, Edwards shot 11.9 threes per contest, his month in a month since November.
Edwards has made five three-pointers in two of the last three matchups against Philadelphia. Over the previous seven games that Edwards has attempted 20-plus field goals, he has made over 3.5 three-pointers. Even though Edwards only made 33.6 percent of his threes in February, it is encouraging that he hasn’t lost confidence as his volume is increasing.
