Anthony Edwards believes that the Dallas Mavericks and Minnesota Timberwolves will play a Game 6.
Tonight, the Dallas Mavericks head to Minnesota for Game 5 of the NBA Western Conference Finals, holding a 3-1 series lead against the Timberwolves. Before diving into my bet selections, I want to clarify that these won’t be standard bets with a vig. I’m not a basketball expert, and I don’t aim for a 55% hit rate for profitability. Instead, my picks will feature alternative plays, same-game parlays (SGPs), and any value bets with favorable odds.
**Anthony Edwards Triple Double +1100 (Best odds at DraftKings)**
Persistence pays off, and Edwards is on the brink of achieving a triple-double in consecutive games. In Game 3, he recorded 26 points, nine rebounds, and nine assists, with nine potential assists and 17 rebound opportunities. In Game 4, he tallied 29 points, 10 rebounds, and nine assists, with 12 potential assists and 18 rebound chances.
As we watch tonight’s game, anticipation builds around Edwards’ performance. Will he finally secure that elusive triple-double? Only time will tell.
**Dallas Mavericks vs. Minnesota Timberwolves Same-Game Parlay**
**Leg 1: Anthony Edwards Over 7.5 Rebounds**
Based on his recent performances, I expect Edwards to excel in rebounding, offering good value at +110 odds. He’s grabbed nine rebounds in back-to-back games, making this a solid addition to the SGP.
**Leg 2: Jaden Hardy Over 5.5 Points**
Hardy’s shot volume has been impressive over the last three games, averaging just over 11 minutes per game and taking 19 shots. He’s consistently scored over this mark, including seven points in Game 3 despite not making a three-pointer.
**Leg 3: Luka Doncic Over 9.5 Rebounds**
Doncic has been a reliable rebounder throughout the playoffs. Although his health issues in the previous round limited his aggressiveness, he appears to be moving better and actively seeking rebounds now. Doncic’s ability to grab boards and initiate fast breaks, combined with his exceptional passing and threat from beyond the arc, makes this a valuable pick.
