They haven&#8217;t just been winning, but have been running opponents out of their building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This wager doesn&#8217;t require Minnesota to win, however. The team only has to stay competitive, and it&#8217;s very capable of that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, the Timberwolves are 10-1 in their last 11 games at Target Center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"cacheembed:114179\">Embed: #114179<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/sports-hub\/basketball\/nba?utm_source=insights&amp;utm_medium=text_link&amp;utm_term=&amp;utm_content=&amp;utm_campaign=sportsbook_nba\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Full NBA betting markets<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/news\/article\/nba-injury-report?utm_source=insights&amp;utm_medium=text_link&amp;utm_term=&amp;utm_content=&amp;utm_campaign=injury_reports\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>NBA injury report<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/news\/stats\/nba\/top-players?utm_source=insights&amp;utm_medium=text_link&amp;utm_term=&amp;utm_content=&amp;utm_campaign=stats_pages\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>NBA stats &amp; standings<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">NBA SGP legs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong><strong><strong>Edwards 3+ threes<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong> (-225):<\/strong> The star guard had one of his best games of the postseason on Saturday when he scored 30 points on an efficient 12-for-17 shooting (5-for-8 from 3-point range).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s actually below average volume for Edwards, who is averaging 20.5 field-goal attempts for the T-wolves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On top of that, Edwards has taken eight or more 3s in all but two playoff games.
