Anthony Edwards (Minnesota Timberwolves) Under 4.5 Assists (+122)
Odds available at fanduel at time of publishingIn the upcoming matchup against the Denver Nuggets, targeting Anthony Edwards for under 4.5 assists feels like a savvy play. Though he's been a dynamic force for the Timberwolves, recent trends suggest he may struggle to hit that mark. Averaging just four assists over his last five games, he's been under that threshold in three of those contests. Now, let's consider the context. Playing away from home against a stout Denver defense, Edwards faces a tougher landscape. Historically, he's averaged around 6 assists against the Nuggets, but that's a bit misleading given he's been on the road. In his last three away games, he's also hit that under every time. With an expected stat value of just 3.75 and an implied probability of 45% for going under, this bet feels solid. All signs point to a tight contest where he may not be facilitating as much, making this a compelling under play.
