Let's dive into my SGP bet now!
Anthony Edwards Over 25.5 Points (-104)
Ant-man has arrived and he's here to stay. Edwards exploded in Game 1, producing highlight after highlight and leading the Timberwolves to an impressive 120-95 win. He went at Kevin Durant on both ends and finished the game with a very efficient 33 points, including 4 threes made. The Suns are expected to speed things up in Game 2 as that's how they were able to beat Minnesota 3 times in the regular season, that should benefit everyone's numbers here, including Edwards. A faster pace also means less minutes for Jusuf Nurkic who is the Suns' only interior defender here. He averaged just 23.3 mins per game in 3 regular season meetings, with him out the way Edwards will attack the basket even more than he did in the series opener. Until they slow him down, I'm going to continue backing Ant-man to fill it up.
