Anthony Edwards to Score 30+ Points (+125)
The main storyline from Game 1 was the lackluster performance on defense by Minnesota, so Ant Man's sub-par performance went under the radar a bit. He finished with just 19 points on 6-for-16 shooting, including 5-for-12 from three. Attempting 12 threes on the night is a clear indicator of tiredness in my opinion, so I'm expecting Edwards to bounce back here after getting some rest in between games. We all still remember his 36 point burst in Game 3 vs Phoenix and the 44 points he put up on the Nuggets in Game 4, both of those performances came after sub-20 point outputs. The Timberwolves defense has to tighten up here, but I would argue that it's way more important that Anthony Edwards gets himself going. Whenever your best player starts the game off well, it does wonders for your team's morale, so let's hope Edwards sets the tone early in this one.
