The red-hot Minnesota Timberwolves head east to face the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The pregame narrative: Anthony Edwards is a man on a mission right now and I want in on the action. I’m backing the Wolves’ superstar to hit four-plus threes in this +350 SGP that includes a pick on Donovan Mitchell.
Check out my Timberwolves vs. Cavaliers same-game parlay predictions for Feb. 10.
Timberwolves vs. Cavaliers predictions
Parlay: Timberwolves +13.5 | Edwards 4+ threes | Mitchell 25+ points (+350)
Timberwolves +13.5 (-205): For the first two legs of this parlay, it is important to note that Edwards is questionable with a hip injury that held him out of Saturday’s contest with the Portland Trail Blazers.
It was considered a ‘precaution’ by head coach Chris Finch so I have a good feeling he’ll suit up on Monday.
Without Edwards, Minnesota had no issues disposing of Portland, 114-98. Overall, the Timberwolves are 8-2 in their last 10 and have soared up to sixth in the West with a 30-23 record.
Since Jan. 6, the Wolves are 13-6 and have covered this lofty spread in every contest.
This is as tough as it gets against the Eastern Conference’s best home team (24-4) but buying points for added insurance gives this leg extra backing.
I’m predicting Minnesota will keep things competitive in its ongoing pursuit of a better playoff seeding.
SGP legs
Edwards 4+ threes (-143): It would be a shame if Ant were to be ruled out for a second straight contest because the man is torching defences right now.
Over his last 18 games, he’s averaging:
- 32.3 points
- 4.5 made 3s
- 44.0 3PT%
He’s cashed this wager in 11 of those contests and I could easily see Edwards clearing his 30.5-point total.
However, taking his 3s prop instead covers the type of performance he had against Cleveland on Jan. 18.
In that game, Edwards made four triples and finished with 28 points.
Mitchell 25+ points (-106): The Cavaliers’ primary scorer is averaging his lowest PPG (24.0) since 2019-20 — but it’s not because of bad play.
Cleveland often wins by large margins, meaning Mitchell is playing the fewest minutes of his career (31.3 MPG).
But considering I expect this game to be close, I like his chances of having a big performance.
In the seven-point win over the Timberwolves on Jan. 18, Mitchell scored 36 points on 12-of-27 shooting (44.4%) — a below-average night in terms of efficiency.
But the uptick in minutes (33) allowed the dynamic guard to get enough shots up to easily clear this point total.
In games in which Mitchell played 33-plus minutes this season, he’s averaging 27.3 PPG.
