Jaden McDaniels scored 14 points in Tuesday’s first quarter at Milwaukee, which is the reason he cashed this same prop by only half a point, adding a second-quarter 3-pointer. The Timberwolves were so walloping the Bucks that McDaniels eased up. He has now cleared this prop in six of eight games without Anthony Edwards in the lineup, averaging 19.9 points in those eight games, up from 13.5 points in 31 games alongside the Minnesota superstar.
No Anthony Edwards, no problem, at +145 give me the Minnesota Timberwolves on the moneyline. I think the Wolves should be trading closer to a +115 underdog than a +145. Everything in the Houston Rockets offense flows through Kevin Durant and Alperen Sengun and the Wolves have the perfect defensive matchups for these two players in Jaden McDaniels and Rudy Gobert. It's the second night of a back to back after getting beat up by the Oklahoma City Thunder for the Rockets and let's face it, the Rockets are reeling a bit at the moment. Plus, do you really think Julius Randle will have any problem picking up the extra usage that is available with ANT out?
