But one thing is certain: If they win, they&#8217;ll avoid the play-in tournament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That shouldn&#8217;t be too much to ask against the lowly Utah Jazz \u2014 especially with a red-hot Edwards leading the charge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Over his last seven games, Edwards averaged 28.9 points and scored 25+ six times.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>He&#8217;s taking a ton of shots, attempting 19.6 field goals per game during that time, while shooting above 50%.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Plus, he&#8217;s been lighting it up from deep, attempting 11.0 3-pointers and making 4.3 a night (39.0%).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This is practically a playoff game for the T-Wolves, and Edwards has proven to be the go-to guy for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Jazz have the worst defensive rating in the NBA (121.1). They also allow the second-most points per game to shooting guards (24.14), per Fantasy Pros.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-479767b6-5872-497b-ac44-239c07c7e3d5\"><strong>Key stat<\/strong>: Edwards has scored 30-plus points against Utah in six straight games dating back to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Best NBA picks<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>LaVine over 23.5 points (-106):<\/strong> Like the T-Wolves, the Sacramento Kings can decide their fate as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No matter what, the Kings will play the Dallas Mavericks in the play-in, but Sacramento can guarantee that the contest is played at home with a win over the Phoenix Suns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Phoenix will be without Devin Booker, Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal, so this is a prime spot for the Kings to grab a win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And that effort should be spearheaded by LaVine with how he&#8217;s played over the last five games:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>31.6 PPG<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>22.2 FGA<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>53.2 FG%<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>55.1 3PT%<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>What piques my interest the most, though, is his 5.4 made 3s per night over that timeframe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His immense volume and MVP-calibre efficiency provide a very reliable floor at the moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-84329f2b-7888-4034-9979-03e8608897e5\"><em>NBA prop picks made at 11:02 a.m. ET on 04\/13\/2025.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Only a few games have meaning on the final day of the NBA regular season.
