Harden has notched three straight games with 20+ points, 8+ assists, and 3+ rebounds. I see no reason why he slows down on Sunday. I like Harden to hit this over comfortably against Minnesota.
Won't get the Wolves this cheap at home often; this price may go up a tad if/when Anthony Edwards is cleared to play. Ant is questionable with left ankle soreness but I don't see him missing out against a marquee opponent. Russell Westbrook is out for the Clippers and while that doesn't mean what it used to, it certainly hurts their second unit. Center Ivica Zubac is questionable after missing the past two with an illness. Minnesota is 6-1 in the past seven in the series.
Here's what he's done lately: 20, 22, 25, 23, 17, 11, 20, 7, 17, 23, 27, 41, 22. Should be well rested after a layoff. T-Wolves have given up a ton of points and rebounds to centers. He grabbed 11 boards vs big Rudy in their first meeting.
Clippers keeping him out lately with an illness but if he returns this is a nice matchup, despite Goebert on the boards. Wolves allowing 15.1 REB/G to centers, 29th in the NBA, and 39 PPG to centers, 29th. Zubac was becoming a double double machine before having to sit. Only had 6 points in the first game where he played just 23 minutes. Kinda feel like them held him back against lowly Wizards to have him on the road here.
Anthony Edwards is having a fantastic season and is a big reason why the Timberwolves find themselves atop the Western Conference with a record of 42-18. Edwards is averaging a combined 36.6 PRA and has been on an absolute tear over his last 12 games. The 2x All-Star gets a tough draw against a Clippers team that is very familiar with him and possesses multiple defenders capable of giving him fits. AE has faced the Clippers 12x over this career and has only eclipsed this line 1x, while averaging 28.4 PRA on shooting splits of 44/33/83. Look for the Clippers to slow down the young superstar.
