Let’s dive into my favorite Anthony Edwards player prop for Monday’s contest.
Best Anthony Edwards prop bet on DraftKings Sportsbook
Anthony Edwards U 26.5 Points (-111)
Edwards is listed as questionable, but he is expected to suit up in Game 2. Edwards has been dealing with a nagging knee injury for the last month that has forced him to miss 11 of his last 15 games.
Edwards played in Saturday’s Game 1 loss to the Nuggets, but he didn’t look fully healthy, shooting 7-of-19 from the field for 22 points. Edwards looked slower than usual and 26.5 points is just too high of a line with him clearly not 100%.
In the four games Edwards has played in over the last month, he has scored 17, eight, 22 and 22 points while shooting 39% from the field. To make matters worse, Edwards hasn’t fared well against Denver this season. In four matchups with the rival, Edwards has fallen short of 26.5 points three times.
