Anthony Edwards (Minnesota Timberwolves) Over 28.5 Points + Rebounds (-118)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

When the Timberwolves take on the Hornets at home, all eyes should be on Anthony Edwards to surpass the points and rebounds mark of 28.5. Edwards thrives in front of the home crowd, averaging a striking 33 points and 5.6 rebounds in his last five games at Target Center. The Hornets, while competitive, have struggled to contain him, allowing him to put up an average of 22.6 points in their recent encounters. With Edwards consistently hitting the over in four of his last five home games and boasting a solid hit rate of 12 out of 20 overall, he's in prime form. His expected stat value of 32.27 suggests he's ready to explode. Given his current momentum and the Hornets' defensive vulnerabilities, betting on Edwards to clear that 28.5 threshold feels like a savvy play.

Moussa Diabate (Charlotte Hornets) Under 9.5 Rebounds (-141)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

In an intriguing matchup against the Timberwolves, Moussa Diabate's rebounding prowess could face some real challenges, making the under on 9.5 rebounds a compelling bet. While he's averaged 8.8 boards in his last five games, this figure dips slightly to 8 on the road, hinting at a potential struggle in securing those extra rebounds away from home. Even more telling is his history against Minnesota; he's pulled down an average of just 6 rebounds in their last five meetings, and when playing away, that number shrinks to 5. With Diabate hitting the under in 4 of his last 6 road games, we can expect a tough night against a Timberwolves team that doesn't make it easy for opponents on the glass. Given these factors, betting the under feels not only safe but smart in this context.
