The Minnesota Timberwolves enter Monday’s matchup against the Indiana Pacers riding an eight-game winning streak, their longest of the season, and they’re showing no signs of slowing down.
Anthony Edwards has continued to thrive, recently moving into third place on the Timberwolves’ all-time scoring list following a 41-point outing in a dominant win over the Utah Jazz. Minnesota’s offense has thrived during this stretch, with six of the eight victories coming by double digits.

Best Anthony Edwards Prop Bet on DraftKings Sportsbook
Over 27.5 Points (-105)
Edwards has averaged 27.4 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 4.6 assists across 66 games this season. Since the All-Star break, he’s cleared the 28-point mark in seven of 12 games, with his 41-point performance on Sunday underscoring his current rhythm. Edwards has remained the driving force, showcasing his shot-making while continuing to put up efficient scoring performances on a nightly basis.
“You just take what the defense gives us,” Edwards said. “For me, if I come off and I’ve got any space, I’m shooting a 3. If I come off and they’re stepping up, I’m going to get downhill. And I feel like the same is true for my teammates. If they’re catching us and they’ve got a little room, it’s a 0.5 (second) mentality. It’s either shoot, pass it or drive it.”
The Pacers come into this game with Pascal Siakam ruled out and Tyrese Haliburton, Myles Turner, and Aaron Nesmith all listed as questionable. That leaves a potentially depleted defensive group trying to contain Minnesota’s top scorer.
Edwards’ ability to punish defenders from all three levels should put him in a strong position to clear this number, especially with increased usage if the Timberwolves control the pace early.
Minnesota will look to extend its win streak to nine games, and Edwards will likely lead the charge. In this matchup, Edwards faces a solid outlook to hit the over on 27.5 points.
