Timberwolves vs Knicks prediction
Timberwolves vs Knicks best bet: Jaden McDaniels Over 13.5 points (-114)
There is some instinct to ascribe Jaden McDaniels’ scoring surge to Anthony Edwards’ absence, and assuredly, there has been some impact. But McDaniels scored in the season opener alongside Edwards, too. Plus, the Minnesota Timberwolves’ biggest star might not return tonight.
With or without Edwards, there is a bounty of reason to believe McDaniels’ offensive assertiveness will continue, leading him to clear this prop for the fourth time in five games.
McDaniels’ offensive development was one of the most underappreciated aspects of the Western Conference last season. Even in the postseason, McDaniels produced on the half of the court where he is supposedly lesser, clearing this prop in eight of 15 games while shooting 51.5% from the field and 38.2% from deep.
He is shooting even better, 46.2% from deep and 53.8% from the field. Edwards’ possible return should not doom those rates, and at those rates, trusting McDaniels to score should be a profitable approach for a while.
