Anthony Edwards and the Minnesota Timberwolves entered the first round of the NBA Playoffs as underdogs. After all, how could they be expected to compete with the star power of LeBron James and Luka Doncic’s Los Angeles Lakers? Despite the expectations of an early exit, the Timberwolves have rallied and now push their opponents to the brink of elimination with a 3-1 series lead.
Tonight, Edwards looks to send the Lakers packing at 10 p.m. EST. Here’s the best prop bets for the star guard on DraftKings Sportsbook.
Best Anthony Edwards prop bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
DraftKings Sportsbook lists Cunningham’s prop lines at 28.5 points, 6.5 rebounds, 5.5 assists, and 3.5 three-pointers. His combined PTS + REB + AST line is currently 40.5.
The Timberwolves actually enter this game as 5.5-point underdogs despite their series lead, though it’s probably due to their status as the road team tonight. They hold +190 Moneyline odds, while Los Angeles sits at -230 on the Moneyline with a game total of 209.5 points.
So far through four postseason games, Edwards is averaging 29.8 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 5.8 assists per contest. He’s coming off his best performance of the series thus far with 43 points, nine boards, and six dimes in a pivotal Game 4 to take a commanding series lead, too. While the Lakers are running out of time, Edwards appears to be in peak form and has momentum on his side tonight.
With that in mind, there’s two appealing betting options with plus-odds for this game. On one hand, Edwards has knocked down five three-pointers in each of his last two games, with 10 attempts in each of those. He also sank four three-point attempts in Game 1, so he’s come close to the five-three mark in another contest, too. At +150 odds, taking Edwards to record 5+ made threes looks like an attractive option given his hot shooting.
The other primary prop option is over 5.5 assists at +110 odds. Ant is averaging 5.8 assists per contest over this series so far and tallied six or more dimes in three of four games. The one exception was Game 2, in which he didn’t record an assist at all. With the ball in his hands so often, he’s got a good shot to exceed the 5.5 mark again tonight, even if he has a high-scoring outing.
