As the Timberwolves prepare to take on the Hornets, all eyes should be on Anthony Edwards, especially with his points and rebounds prop set at 24.5. Edwards has been a force at home, averaging a striking 33 points and 5.6 rebounds in his last five games at the Target Center. His ability to light it up is underscored by a consistent 24.4 points per game over his last five outings, a number that jumps to 22.6 against the Hornets, whom he has historically found success against.What's more, Edwards has been on fire lately, hitting this over in 15 of his last 20 games, and a perfect 5-for-5 at home. The Hornets' defense may struggle to contain his explosive scoring and rebounding abilities, making this a prime opportunity to back him for the over. With an expected stat value of 32.27, this bet feels as solid as a Timberwolves win at home.

As the Charlotte Hornets roll into Minnesota, all eyes will be on Moussa Diabate and his rebounding prowess. However, betting on him to grab 10 boards sounds a bit ambitious. His average of 8.8 rebounds over the last five games shows he's been solid, but when you dig deeper, the away performances tell a different story. He's pulling down just 8 boards on the road, and against the Timberwolves specifically, he's averaged a mere 5 rebounds in their recent matchups. With the Timberwolves boasting a stout rebounding front, Diabate's path to double digits looks bleak. Add in that he's only hit the over in two of his last six away games, and it's clear we should lean towards the under. At an expected stat value of around 8.08, there's a strong case to be made for taking the under on his rebounds at 9.5.
