🏀 Timberwolves vs. Nuggets Player Props Today: NBA Playoffs Best Bets for Game 2
📡 SBR Edge: Edwards Goes Under Again in Denver
My Timberwolves vs. Nuggets player props for Game 2 today feature Anthony Edwards Under 26.5 points (-105). He has gone under this number in three of his four meetings with the Nuggets this season. My second NBA best bet is Nikola Jokic Under 42.5 points + rebounds (-110), as he hasnโt gone over this line in three straight games.

Follow all of our NBA analysis and expert predictions this season.
Anthony Edwards Under 26.5 points (-105)
Edwards wasn't at 100% entering Game 1, where he finished with 22 points on 7-of-19 shooting from the field.
Zooming out, heโs been held to 26 points or fewer in three of four matchups with Denver this season. Adding to the concern, the Nuggets tend to ratchet up their defense come playoff time - more so than other teams - meaning Edwards will likely continue to struggle going forward.
BetMGM has his Under at -105, but this bet is good up to -125 on the best sports betting sites. I also feature this bet in my NBA player props tonight.
๐ฅ More Timberwolves vs. Nuggets prop picks
The Nuggets have the fourth-shortest odds to win the NBA Finals.
Nikola Jokic Under 42.5 points + rebounds (-110)
Jokic has been failing to meet the betting marketโs expectations lately. He has totaled 38 or fewer points + rebounds in three straight games and finished with just 25 points and 13 rebounds - 38 combined - in Game 1.
The Nuggetsโ defense usually improves in the postseason - we saw a preview of that on Saturday - and a slower-paced game would be bad for Jokicโs Overs. Jokic Under 42.5 points + rebounds is -110 at DraftKings, but I would play this up to -120 on the best sports betting apps.

๐ Timberwolves vs. Nuggets same-game parlay
With such a large spread, I believe it's reasonable for Edwards to go under his points total while the Timberwolves lose by fewer than eight points. Bet365 is pricing this same-game parlay at +320 - I think it should pay less.

๐ก How I'm betting Timberwolves vs. Nuggets: NBA Playoffs Game 2 strategy
I'm putting 1.05 units on Edwards Under 26.5 points - my standard stake for a player prop with a small edge. While I like the bet directionally, the line isn't far off from my own number. My conviction is a bit lower on Jokic Under 42.5 points + rebounds (-110), though I still believe it has a greater than 53% chance of hitting.
