Recommended Bet and Odds

Recommended Bet	FanDuel	BetMGM
Anthony Edwards 26.5 points	-128	–

Analysis and Rationale

Anthony Edwards is leading the Minnesota Timberwolves offensively, dropping an average of 28.5 points through 21 games. He is shooting 49.8% from the field and 41.9% from the three-point range. Apart from it, he is also contributing 5.2 rebounds and 3.8 assists per appearance for the Wolves.

In the recent game against the Thunder, Edwards dropped 26 points while shooting 45% from the field and 50% from the three-point range. In the last five matchups, he has had three games with 26 points or more, including a 44-point show against the New Orleans Pelicans.

Talking about the upcoming game, the Wolves are a defensively efficient team, allowing 112.7 points per 100 possessions. The Bucks, on the other hand, possess a lower-rack defensive rating of 116.9 points. Considering this as well as the fact that the Wolves have homecourt advantage over the Bucks, we can expect Ant Man to drop 27 points or more on Sunday.

Minnesota Timberwolves vs Milwaukee Bucks Predictions

The Minnesota Timberwolves are one of the strongest teams of the Western Conference this season, having recorded 18 wins and 10 losses thus far. Despite a few setbacks, the Wolves have been playing decent basketball this season. In this most-recent game, they handed a significant defeat to the Oklahoma City Thunder.

The Wolves are an offensively efficient team, averaging 119.2 points per game, while allowing 114.3 points to their opponents. They maintain an offensive rating of 117.1, seeded ninth in the standings, while maintaining the ninth-best defensive rating of 112.7.

On the other hand, the Milwaukee Bucks have been facing multiple struggles this season. They have recorded just 11 wins in 28 games, and have suffered seven losses in the last ten games. They have been struggling evidently on the road, winning only three out of 12 games thus far. In addition to it, the Bucks will enter Sunday’s game on the back of a two-game losing streak.

They are averaging 113.6 points per game, while letting their opponents score 117.4 points. In terms of offensive and defensive ratings at 113.2 and 116.9, respectively, the Bucks are seeded 19th and 23rd in the standings. What makes the situation worse for them is that they are missing their star player, Giannis Antetokounmpo due to a calf strain.

The Bucks are not only going through a performance slump this year, with poor offensive and defensive efficacy, but they are also heavily dependent on Antetokounmpo.

Considering everything as well as Wolves’ homecourt advantage on Sunday, we expect them to record an easy victory over the Bucks.
