Best Anthony Edwards Pick vs. Warriors in NBA Playoffs
Here are the best Anthony Edwards picks for Thursday’s conference semifinals playoff game vs. the Warriors.
Timberwolves SG Anthony Edwards — 40.5 Pts+Rebs+Ast
In his Game 1 performance on Tuesday, Anthony Edwards dropped 23 points, 14 rebounds, and 2 assists, while shooting 9-of-22 from the field. In his six games played in the postseason so far, Edwards is averaging 26.2 points, 9.3 rebounds, and 5.5 assists.
He’s averaging 22.3 field goal attempts per game so far in the playoffs, which ranks him third among players still competing in the playoffs. He also has played at least 40 minutes in the last five games, well above his season average of 36.3 minutes per game.
In 33 career playoff games, Edwards averages 39.6 points + rebounds + assists per game.
In four games vs. the Warriors during the regular season this year, Edwards averaged 26 points, 6 rebounds, and 5.5 assists in 38 minutes per game.
The Timberwolves lost their first game at home in the playoffs, and were dominated by a Warriors team that played without Steph Curry for majority of the game, as Curry had to exit early in the second quarter. Buddy Hield and Draymond Green helped make up for Curry’s 3-point shooting prowess, as they both combined for nine 3-pointers in Game 1.
With Curry likely to miss the next couple of games in this series, Edwards and the Timberwolves will need to take advantage, especially tonight at home. The Timberwolves only shot 5-of-29 from 3-point range in Game 1, which equals to 17 percent.
The outside shooting will need to improve if they want to give themselves a good shot at winning Game 2.
