Parlay: Wembanyama over 23.5 points + Edwards over 24.5 points + Gobert over 0.5 steals<\/strong> (+340)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wembanyama over 23.5 points (-136)<\/strong>: The second-year phenom fell short of this point total in his last game but finished with 24-plus points in six of the seven games prior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wembanyama finished with 19 points against the Brooklyn Nets but took his fewest shot attempts (14) since Nov. 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 7-foot-5 Wembanyama spends most of his time on the perimeter, so Minnesota’s elite rim protection isn’t much of a concern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, Wemby takes more 3s (9.4) than 2s (9.3) per game. It’s a thin margin, but it highlights how much of an anomaly he is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m a firm believer that Gobert struggles against more mobile bigs. In his most recent game, opposing centre Alperen Sengun had 38 points and shot 64.0% from the field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SGP legs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Edwards over 24.5 points (-143):<\/strong> I’m buying in on Edwards right now as I think a string of strong performances is imminent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The explosive guard topped this total on Christmas Day and then went under against the Rockets on Friday. He finished just shy with 24 points but shot 9-for-17 from the field and 4-for-8 from deep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Minnesota’s offence was on fire that night, shooting 51% and hitting 21 of its 43 attempted 3s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Edwards didn’t need to carry the offence but that’s rarely the case. He’s just one of two players on the T-Wolves who averages more than 13.0 PPG.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is also a matchup Edwards can take advantage of. The Spurs allow the sixth-most points to SGs (23.8) per game, according to Fantasy Pros.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gobert over 0.5 <\/strong>steals (-205):<\/strong> This leg has the shortest odds but for good reason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gobert has been excellent against this line lately, recording a steal in 10 of the last 12 games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

San Antonio commits the 10th-most turnovers per game (15.0). Additionally, Wembanyama averages 3.6 turnovers a night and Gobert will be his primary defender on Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
