Domantas Sabonis is having a fantastic season and is deserving of All-NBA honors. You can make a strong argument that he is the best Center in the NBA after Embiid and Nikola Jokic who just so happened to win the last three MVP awards. Sabonis has a fantastic all around game but if there is one front court capable of slowing him down it is Minnesota. Rudy Gobert is also having a tremendous season and maybe the best of his career, certainly from a defensive standpoint. Even Karl Anthony Towns has bought in and the Timberwolves are first in total defense and top three in nearly every defensive metric, especially in the paint, which is precisely where Sabonis operates.
Edwards has scored 34+ in 4 of his last 6 games, and one of those included an off night shooting in first game back from AS break. He's enjoying an extended homestand and shooting 48% from the floor his last 3 games with heavy volume (25 shots/G). He scored 34 and 35 in two previous meetings with the Kings and if Sacramento is shorthanded in the back court again it should only help ANT's ability to slash and score. Got to the line 11 times in his last outing.
Karl Anthony Towns is quietly having the best season of his career on a Timberwolves team that is 1st place in the Western Conference with an impressive record of 42-17. KAT's number's don't jump off the page but he has been hyper efficient and is shooting a blistering 51/44/88 and has been a solid defender as well. He will face a Kings team that is surrendering the third most points to opposing PFs. The Kings also play at the 10th fastest Pace and 21st in Total Defense. Lastly, Anthony Edwards is Questionable tonight and in the event he doesn't suit up this prop would sky rocket to at least 25.5.
