Check out his stats in his last eight games without the point guard:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>4.3 assists\/game<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>3+ assists seven times<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>4+ assists six times<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>5+ assists five times<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s a super reliable floor to work with, and it gives me confidence he&#8217;ll be around this number regardless of the opponent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Timberwolves are a stingy defensive team that allows the fifth-fewest assists per game. But Green racked up five helpers against them on Feb. 6 (without VanVleet), and I like his chances of doing so again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-479767b6-5872-497b-ac44-239c07c7e3d5\"><strong>Key stat<\/strong>: Green has cleared this line in four of his last five games against the T-Wolves while averaging 5.2 assists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Quick pick<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Edwards over 3.5 threes (-141):<\/strong> Am I in love with these odds?

That exceeds the 58.5% implied probability of this wager. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He&#8217;s played Houston three times this year and cleared this line twice while shooting 3-for-12 from deep in the outlier.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Picks made at 12:18 p.m. ET 02\/21\/2025.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Houston Rockets host the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday as both teams return from the all-star break.
