Anthony Edwards to score 30+ points (+168)
Although he hasn’t had a dominant scoring game yet in this series, Anthony Edwards will be happy that his team got the split in the first 2 games in LA. With the series now moving to Minneapolis for the next couple of games, it is time for Ant Man to assert his dominance. After all, he is bound to become the new face of the NBA, right? Edwards is averaging 29.2 points per game in his last 10 outings with really solid efficiency at 48.6% from the field and 38.4% from three.
Head coach Chris Finch has given Edwards the ultimate green light on offense, and only 2 other players in the NBA (SGA and Cade Cunningham) averaged more attempts from the field during the regular season. Whenever you have a player attempting more than 20 shots per game, he should clear his line more often than not. The likes of Austin Reaves and Luka Doncic simply don’t have the lateral quickness to keep up with Ant Man, so I’m expecting a dominant performance from him in Game 3.

Naz Reid 3+ made threes (+182)
After torching the Lakers for 23 points and 6 threes in Game 1, Naz Reid came back down to Earth a little in Game 2, making just 1 of 3 threes and finishing with 9 points. The former 6th Man of the Year has played a pivotal role off the bench for Minnesota in the past couple of seasons, and his 16 points per game were one of the main reasons why they got to the Western Conference Finals last year. During that impressive run, he averaged 11.1 points per game, but that number is now up to 16 in the 2 meetings with the Lakers.
As is the case with many other role players, Reid averaged 1.4 points per game more at home compared to when playing on the road. His efficiency is also up almost 4% from the field in those games and 6.4% from three. With the crowd behind them, the Timberwolves should play at a much faster style than they did in Game 2, where they scored just 85 points. Reid is averaging 15.8 points per game in his last 10 against LA, and more importantly for our Lakers vs Timberwolves Same Game Parlay, he’s at 2.9 made threes during this stretch on almost 51% efficiency. Let’s hope he can keep that up and together with Ant Man lead the Timberwolves to a huge win in Game 3.
