Minnesota's Timberwolves superstar Anthony Edwards doesn't know anything about their odds against the Los Angeles Lakers. Despite being a loser, the young three-time All-Star game has a chance to play spoilers in the first round of the upcoming NBA playoffs. Fanduel's current Lakers won the first round with an odds of -186. However, Edwards did not have phases.
“I just love it. It's the soup,” Edwards explain. “I like the fact that everyone wants the Lakers to win. That's what it should be. They don't want the Timberwolves to win. I get it.”
Edwards also talked about confronting LeBron James, who was teammate last summer with him as a teammate on Team USA.
“It means a lot against him,” the Minnesota guard said. “Probably the greatest player ever. Trying to get him out of the playoffs will be a tough player, but it will be a fun road.”
The first game will be prompted on April 19Th Central time on ABC 7:30.
Anthony Edwards enjoys the Timberwolves' underdog status
Anthony Edwards’ impressive season
Edwards hosted another all-NBA movement this season. In the regular season, he averaged 27.6 points, 4.5 assists, 1.2 steals and 5.7 rebounds per game. Once a member of the all-NBA team also improved his 3-point shooting percentage as he shot 39.5% from games outside the ARC (he averaged 35.7% from that range last year). What makes this improvement impressive is that Edwards greatly increased his attempts from the territory. Last season, he averaged 34.1% from three-pointers. This season, his interest rate was 50.3%. This gives Minnesota's offensive attacks an additional dimension this year. As a result, this may prove valuable, as the Timberwolves encounter many of the people they encounter with their opponents feel that there are many game problems.
Can the Timberwolves play in another deep playoff game?
Minnesota will certainly cut jobs for them. Not only do they compete with the Lakers, which are basically gift-wrapped, but they carry the top three talents in Luka Dončić, but they will also face one of the hottest teams in the hottest All-Star game, and they will get a home advantage. Remember that last year, Dončić was a member of the Dallas Mavericks, making a number in the Western Conference Finals. Now he is combined with the greatest player ever LeBron James. Expect the Lakers to test Minnesota Rudy Gobert. They will make him stand out from the paint he thrives on the periphery.
Just like the Mavericks attacked the Timberwolves last season. Anthony Edwards, on the other hand, is at its peak. As a result, he was eager to join his basketball resume. In addition, the Timberwolves are no stranger to spoilers in the playoffs. They beat the then-defending champion Denver Nuggets in the Western Conference semifinals last year. Furthermore, this Timberwolves roster is not exactly the same as Luka Dončić elaborated in the playoffs last year. Julius Randle may not be Karl-Anthony Town, but he has done well this season. With all this in mind, the NBA world should expect a great series between these two red squads.
