Anthony Edwards OVER 24.5 Points

D’Angelo Russell missed Wednesday’s game against the Clippers, and he’s also ruled out for tonight’s rematch. That means Edwards will operate as one of the primary ball-handlers and playmakers for the Wolves. 

The second-year pro succeeded in that role on Wednesday, coming through with 28 points while shooting 11-21 from the floor. He was only 3-10 on threes in that game, so there’s room for improvement too. 

On top of that, Minnesota Head Coach Chris Finch mentioned that he wants Edwards to be more aggressive with more attempts driving to the hoop. The former top overall pick is not shy about creating his own shot, and I’m expecting to see him take that advice to heart. 

All of this looks great for over 24.5 points as one of the better NBA props of the night. 

De’Aaron Fox OVER 20.5 Points

Do you love line value? You know I love some good line value. That’s what we are getting with Fox here. DraftKings has him listed at 21.5 points with -120 odds to the over. It may not seem like much, but I’ll definitely take the extra point and added juice. 

According to his BetPrep player page, Fox has sailed over this point total in 34 of his last 50 games. That’s a 68% hit rate while averaging 25.4 points per contest in that span. Finding that level of historical data is rare when it comes to NBA props. 

This is a fast-paced matchup against the Hornets, as both teams rank top ten in pace. Charlotte also ranks below average in defensive efficiency to point guards, which opens to door for Fox to beat this point total. 

Go ahead and take the Sacramento floor general with confidence! 

RJ Barrett OVER 17.5 Points

Barrett has been a scoring machine for the Knicks, climbing over this point total in four straight games. He’s averaging a whopping 26.25 points per contest through that span. 

His BetPrep player page signals another green light to the over, as Barrett has flown above this point total in 28 of his last 45 games. That’s a cool 62.2% hit rate. 

Let’s keep in mind that Barrett is not new to putting the ball in the hoop. He averaged 17.6 points per game last season. His minutes hold steady around 35, and I like the prospect of playing up in pace against Milwaukee tonight.
