Timberwolves vs. 76ers Player Prop Pick
Anthony Edwards Under 26.5 Points (-112)
By Jim Turvey
Yes, I know. This is a big game for Anthony Edwards and the Timberwolves.
The 76ers are a solid team, and Minnesota is one game back of the 5-seed in the West.
That said, Edwards played just 23 minutes in his first game back from an extended absence, and then he sat out yesterday's game as well.
This number is projecting him for basically a full workload, which would be insane to see from him at this point and time. All signs points to an under here.
Pick: Anthony Edwards Under 26.5 Points (-112)
Bulls vs. Knicks Player Prop Prediction
Karl-Anthony Towns Over 20.5 Points (-115)
By Joe Dellera
Jalen Brunson will return for the Knicks in this game. However, I want to stick with Karl-Anthony Towns, who has settled into a bit of a groove lately.
This matchup against Chicago is one that Towns has absolutely dominated in the past. He has scored 20+ points in seven straight games against the Bulls, and they have been an absolutely sieve to opposing centers.
The Bulls have allowed 11 of the last 12 centers they faced to exceed their points prop. They play at the third-fastest pace in the league and surrender the fourth-most points in the paint.
This is a spot where KAT should crush.
Pick: Karl-Anthony Towns Over 20.5 Points (-115)
Celtics vs. Bucks Player Prop Bet
Ryan Rollins Over 18.5 Points (-120)
Action PRO is projecting 20.5 points for Ryan Rollins in the Bucks' matchup against the Celtics tonight, presenting an excellent 12% edge against his current prop line of over/under 18.5, which is good enough to mark the Over with a B grade in our system.
The Bucks are dying for this season to end already. However, in the meantime, Rollins has carved out a nice role for himself in Milwaukee's offense, and he continues to trend upward as we head down the homestretch.
Rollins has scored 19+ points in six of his last nine games, and he's scored 24+ points in three of his last five.
Tonight, Rollins and the Bucks draw a very difficult matchup agains the Celtics — but somebody's gotta score for Milwaukee, right? So, we still see value in backing Rollins to perform here.
Pick: Ryan Rollins Over 18.5 Points (-120)
