Best Anthony Edwards Pick vs. Lakers – 6.5 Rebounds

Best Anthony Edwards Picks Tonight Timberwolves vs. Lakers

Edwards is known for his scoring prowess. He has increased his points per game average every season of his career. This season, he took his shooting to another level, averaging 4.1 three-pointers per game. 

However, Edwards can also contribute in other areas. He has averaged at least 5.4 rebounds in each of the last three seasons.

Edwards has remained busy on the boards in this series, producing eight, six, eight, and nine rebounds over the four games — going more than his 6.5 rebounds in three of four games. It has helped his cause that he has averaged 40 minutes per game. 

Also working in his favor is that the Lakers basically don’t have a center. Lakers starting center Jaxson Hayes has not played more than nine minutes in any of the four games. The Lakers have instead gone small, playing F Rui Hachimura and F Dorian Finney-Smith more minutes. Those small lineups provide Edwards with additional rebounding opportunities.
