Anthony Edwards (Minnesota Timberwolves) Over 24.5 Points + Rebounds (-227)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

In this Sunday showdown between the Minnesota Timberwolves and Charlotte Hornets, all eyes should be on Anthony Edwards. Playing at home, he's been a force, averaging a remarkable 33 points and 5.6 rebounds in his last five games at Target Center. The Hornets have struggled defensively, allowing nearly 23 points to Edwards on average, but he's upped his game even further against them at home, where he's hit a staggering 17.4 points and matched that with solid rebounding. With a hit rate of 75% over his last 20 games and a perfect 5-for-5 at home recently, betting on Edwards to surpass the 24.5 mark in combined points and rebounds feels like a smart play. He's not just meeting expectations; he's exceeding them, and with an expected stat value of 32.6, the numbers lean heavily in favor of a big night for Edwards.

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

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As we gear up for the matchup between the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Charlotte Hornets, keep an eye on Moussa Diabate's rebounding numbers, particularly leaning towards the under on his total of 9.5. Despite showing promise, Diabate's average rebounds sit at 8.8 in his last five games, dropping to just 8 when he's on the road. Against tough opponents like Minnesota, his rebounding tends to dip, with averages of only 6 overall and 5 in away games. The Timberwolves are adept at controlling the paint, making it even more challenging for Diabate to exceed that 9.5 mark. With a hit rate of just 4 out of his last 6 away games, the under looks like a smart play here. Expect Diabate to struggle to reach double digits in rebounds in this setting, making the under a solid bet.
