That includes a pair of double-digit-point losses to the Denver Nuggets and defeats to the Charlotte Hornets and New Orleans Pelicans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Minnesota hasn&#8217;t found its groove this season but still has Edwards, who is having a monster start to 2025 (more on that later).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The T-Wolves beat the Mavericks, 105-99, in Dallas earlier this season with Doncic playing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SGP legs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong>Edwards over 3.5 threes (-103):<\/strong><\/strong> Edwards is back in MVP-calibre form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The third-year guard is averaging 30.7 PPG this month while shooting 46.5% from deep. He&#8217;s hit at least three 3s in nine of 11 games this month, clearing this total eight times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When backing a player on a 3-point market, bettors want to see either high volume or elite accuracy; Ant Man has both.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Edwards is attempting the fourth-most 3s per game (9.9) and is making them at the 13th-best rate (42.8%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dallas ranks 15th in opponent 3-point percentage, so it&#8217;s not like this is a tough matchup. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Edwards cleared this mark in both games against the Mavs this year, shooting a combined 11-for-20 from deep (55.0%). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong>Irving 20+ points<\/strong> (-560):<\/strong> I was debating backing Irving over 2.5 threes (-157) but will opt for a much safer 20-point milestone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For as heavily juiced as this pick is, it still vaults the SGP from +195 to +280.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The veteran guard is crafty in the midrange and is an elite finisher at the rim. He&#8217;s putting up 24.2 PPG this season and has cleared this mark in 23 of 33 starts (69.7%). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The T-Wolves are a great defensive team, but if you were to split hairs, they struggle to defend the mid-range. Check out their defensive metrics courtesy of Cleaning the Glass (NBA ranks in parenthesis):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>3-point defence: 35.4% (5th)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rim defence: 64.6% (8th)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mid-range defence: 42.0% (12th)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Irving takes 42% of his shots from the mid-range, which ranks in the 92nd percentile for all NBA players. This should be a cinch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Picks made at 11:47 a.m. ET 01\/22\/2025<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two struggling teams meet when the Dallas Mavericks host the Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday night.
