Anthony Edwards Over 12.5 Rebounds + Assists
Jimmy Butler Over 12.5 Rebounds + Assists
Parlay Payout: +206
Anthony Edwards has an impressive track record, going 2/2 on this prop in the current series. His ability to contribute both in rebounds and assists makes him a key player to watch. Even during the last game, where he faced a brief injury, he managed to hit this line comfortably. As the Warriors strategize to neutralize his impact, they are expected to implement double teams and physical fouls to disrupt his rhythm. However, this defensive pressure could open opportunities for Edwards to engage his teammates, leading to a spike in his assist numbers.
Given this analysis, I anticipate Edwards finishing with approximately 8 rebounds and 7 assists, resulting in a strong performance that comfortably surpasses the 12.5 combo line.
Pick: Anthony Edwards Over 12.5 Rebounds + Assists (-130)
On the other hand, Jimmy Butler has gone 1/2 on this prop in the series, with his last game yielding just 11 combined rebounds and assists during a blowout. However, if he plays his expected allotment of 38+ minutes tonight, his chances of exceeding this line significantly improve. The upcoming Game 3, being hosted at home, is predicted to be much closer than the previous match-up.
Similar to Edwards, the Timberwolves are likely to focus on making sure that Butler does not single-handedly dictate the game. He will need to facilitate plays for his shooters, including the likes of Buddy Hield, and also find opportunities to connect with Jonathan Kuminga on drives. I foresee Butler ending up with numbers in the vicinity of 7 rebounds and 7 assists, which should comfortably put him over the 12.5 combo line as well.
Pick: Jimmy Butler Over 12.5 Rebounds + Assists (-130)
