Anthony Edwards (Minnesota Timberwolves) Over 24.5 Points + Rebounds (-244)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As Anthony Edwards prepares to take the court against the Charlotte Hornets, the stars seem to align for a stellar performance. Playing at home, he's been an absolute force, averaging an impressive 33 points and 5.6 rebounds in his last five outings at Target Center. With the Hornets in town, who have struggled defensively against opposing wings, Edwards' numbers against them have also been strong; he's posted an average of 22.6 points in their last five meetings and is particularly effective at home, where he typically scores 17.4 points against them.Not to mention, he's hit the combined points and rebounds mark of 24.5 in 15 of his last 20 games, and has done so in all five of his most recent home contests. With an expected statistical value of 32.6, betting on Edwards to exceed that threshold feels like a savvy play. This matchup could very well be another highlight reel for the young star.

Moussa Diabate (Charlotte Hornets) Under 9.5 Rebounds (-137)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

When you look at Moussa Diabate's recent performances, the smart play is to lean towards the under on his rebounds total of 9.5 in this matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves. While he's been a solid contributor, averaging 8 rebounds across his last five games, he's been less effective on the road, pulling down just 8 per game away from home. The Timberwolves present a tougher challenge, too; in their last five encounters, Diabate has averaged only 6 rebounds, and when playing in Minnesota, that number dips to 5. Given that he's hit under 9.5 in 4 of his last 6 away games, it's clear that the odds favor a lower output tonight. With an expected stat value of just 8.07 and an implied probability of 57.8%, taking the under feels like a savvy move in this matchup.
