PLAYER PROPS
1. ANTHONY EDWARDS OVER 27.5 POINTS (-110)
Odds: -110Probability: 53.2%Projection: 31Edge: 12.9%Game: Warriors vs Timberwolves (8:30PM EST)
Our Basketball Forever betting bot has identified the best NBA player prop bet for today’s NBA matchups. The best player bet takes place in the Warriors vs Timberwolves matchup – with Anthony Edwards showing value in the total points made prop market. Our model has narrowed down Anthony Edwards Over 27.5 Points as the best player bet for today. In the first match of this series throughout most of the game, Ant was struggling to put up points, ending with a total of 23 PTS, 21 of which coming in the second half of the game. In the first 1/2 of that game Anthony was only able to get one point, coming from a free throw. Our model suspects that Ant will be locked in tonight, sinking more shots throughout the game.
Our model recommends placing a wager on Anthony Edwards Over 27.5 Points at -110 odds and an attractive 12.9% edge, making this our best player bet of the day.
2. BUDDY HIELD OVER 3.5 3-POINTERS MADE (+140)
Odds: +140Probability: 51.3%Projection: 4.1Edge: 9.6%Game: Warriors vs Timberwolves (8:30PM EST)
The next NBA player prop bet our betting bot recommends playing comes in the Warriors vs Timberwolves game, with Buddy Hield showing value in the total 3-pointers made prop market.
In the first matchup Hield was able to finish with a total of 5 3-pointers made. Our model suspects Hield will continue launching threes, leading to him exceeding this line. With our model projecting him to finish with a total of 4.1 3PM in tonight’s game, we believe this is a solid wager. Buddy went 5/8 on 3-point attempts, leading us to believe that he’ll continue taking 3s tonight.
The Basketball Forever betting bot predicts Buddy Hield Over 3.5 3-Pointers Made in tonight’s game, which gives us a 9.6% edge on the +140 odds.
3. ANTHONY EDWARDS OVER 7.5 REBOUNDS (-107)
Odds: -107Probability: 54.2%Projection: 8.5Edge: 6.3%Game: Warriors vs Timberwolves (8:30PM EST)
According to our model, our last best player prop bet for today’s NBA slate also takes place in the Warriors vs Timberwolves game, with Anthony Edwards showing value in the total rebounds made prop market. Edwards is averaging 9.3 RPG in the postseason, and has exceeded this line in 4 of his last 5 games. With him exceeding this line in every game recently, along with our model projecting him to exceed this line tonight, we believe this is a solid wager for tonight’s game.
The Basketball Forever betting bot recommends placing a wager on Anthony Edwards Over 7.5 Rebounds, with an edge of 6.3% at -107 odds.
BEST BETS
1. TIMBERWOLVES -10.5 (-107)
Odds: -107Probability: 53.1%Edge: 3.7%Game: Warriors vs Timberwolves (8:30PM EST)
Our Basketball Forever betting bot has uncovered the best bet of the day, taking place in the Warriors vs Timberwolves matchup. In this matchup, our model has determined that Timberwolves -10.5 is a solid wager. Although losing by 10 in the first game of the series, our model believes tonight will go the other way. In the first matchup, Edwards was struggling to get points, only getting one in the first half. We believe that wont be the case tonight, with him racking up as many points as possible throughout the game. The Warriors will also be missing Curry, who is one of their leading point scorers, giving the Timberwolves a chance to cover tonight’s spread.
Our Basketball Forever betting bot recommends placing a wager on Timberwolves -10.5 through. With -107 odds and a 3.7% edge, this is our best bet of the day.
