The Boston Celtics will look to extend their four-game win streak when they host the shorthanded Minnesota Timberwolves tonight at TD Garden.
Anthony Edwards is out, and my Timberwolves vs. Celtics predictions expect Ayo Dosunmu to fill his shoes admirably and keep things close on the road.
Here are my free NBA picks for this prime-time matchup on Sunday, March 22.
Timberwolves vs Celtics prediction
Timberwolves vs Celtics best bet: Ayo Dosunmu Over 26.5 points+rebounds+assists (-112)
Ayo Dosunmu has stepped up in a big way since Anthony Edwards went down, but he was starting to find his groove with Ant-Man on the court.
Across his last five, Dosunmu has averaged 29.6 PRA, hitting the Over on this line three times and finishing with 26 once more.
Over his last three as a starter, Dosunmu ranks second in points, rebounds, and assists, first in shot attempts, third in usage, and third in minutes.
The Minnesota Timberwolves' offense has been humming, and I expect Dosunmu to stay involved as a scorer, rebounder, and facilitator.
