Best Timberwolves vs. Mavericks prop predictions

Anthony Edwards prop pick: Over 26.5 points ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards has been on a heater since complaining about how teams were guarding him following a 15-point performance against the Boston Celtics on Jan. 2.

He's scored 27-plus points in eight of his 10 games since then, helping Minnesota reach the middle tier of the NBA championship odds.

Edwards has tallied 28-plus points in four straight games, all while attempting 20-plus shots in three of his previous five outings. He’s no longer struggling to get his shot up, and that’s a scary sign for a Dallas team that ranks 15th in defensive rating over the past two weeks.

This line is as high as 27.5 at some of our other best sportsbooks, so I’d grab this Over at -130 or better.

Jaden McDaniels prop pick: Over 1.5 assists ⭐⭐⭐

Minnesota forward Jaden McDaniels' minutes have been increasing lately. He’s averaging 33.6 minutes per game this month after 28.5 in December. He’s played 38-plus minutes in consecutive games.

His rebounding prop has adjusted the most with that increasing playing time. That makes sense, as rebounding is his strength. However, his assist market remains unchanged despite dishing multiple dimes in three of his past four contests.

This Over provides a slight edge at +110 or better.

Best odds: +120 via bet365 | Implied probability: 45.45%

Klay Thompson prop pick: Under 5.5 rebounds + assists ⭐⭐⭐

Dallas wing Klay Thompson has been struggling in his previous four games, only reaching double figures in scoring once. He’s also posted just one game over that span when the veteran cleared this rebounds and assists combo prop.

I don’t expect that to change against a Minnesota team that ranks seventh in defensive rating this season. Given the Timberwolves' length, his rebounding efforts will be minimal.

With a projection closer to three rebounds and two assists, this Under provides value at -125 or better.

Best odds: -115 via DraftKings | Implied probability: 53.49%
