Locks

NBA (1 Unit) Anthony Edwards Over 29.5 Points (-110): 9:30 PM CT on TNT

Anthony Edwards is coming off his playoff career high in points (44) and honestly it felt pretty effortless in Game 4. The Wolves role players need to step up in Game 5 for them to have a chance but even if they do, this number is too low for one of the best scorers in the world.

NBA (1 Unit) Naz Reid Over 10.5 Points (-110): 9:30 PM CT on TNT

Naz is having a tough time defensively against Nikola Jokic which consequently has left him short of his usual work-load. But I still think he goes over 10 here. He scored an average of 15 in two games last weekend in Denver and I see more of the same tonight.

NBA (0.5 Unit) Minnesota Timberwolves @ Denver Nuggets Over 206 (-110): 9:30 PM CT on TNT

Unfortunately for Wolves fan, the Nuggets offense has finally woken up. After averaging 115 in Minnesota, the Nuggets head back to Denver where Minnesota had no problem crossing the century mark a week ago. I think 206 is too low for a series that has gone over this number twice in a row with the Wolves scoring in the 90’s. If both offenses wake up, this could sail over easily. Both discounted team totals are worth a look as well, but I’m going to keep it simple tonight and roll with the game over.
