Minnesota @ Portland picks

Edwards made his first All-NBA team last season after averaging 25.9 ppg and has improved his outside shot this year. The superstar guard is averaging 28.3 points per game on a sizzling 60.3 EFG%. Edwards is coming off a poor performance against Miami where he went just 8-24 from the floor and 4-14 from deep but that was an outlier and he should bounce back today against Portland. Especially when you consider that he torched the Blazers for 37 points in a blowout win against them last Friday. The Blazers have been terrible defensively, ranking 22nd in the league in ppg allowed (116.6) and 27th in opponent EFG% (56%).
