The Timberwolves continue to look the goods despite the injury to Anthony Edwards, while the Flagg and Irving combination has been on fire for the Mavericks, who have been a surprise packet to start the season.<\/p>\n

Dallas Mavericks @ Minnesota Timberwolves<\/h2>\n

The Minnesota Timberwolves are 8-3 to start this season, which they will 100% take considering they haven’t had Anthony Edwards for seven of those games.<\/p>\n

The acquisition of LaMelo Ball appears to have paid dividends, while Ayo Dosunmu has moved into the starting lineup seamlessly.<\/p>\n

As for the Mavericks, they’ve surprised many this season with a 7-4 record, led by Cooper Flagg, who enters this contest off the back of a 43-point outing against the Pacers.<\/p>\n

Same Game Multi<\/h2>\n

Leg 1 – LaMelo Ball 20+ Points<\/h3>\n

He was taking a bit of a back seat offensively to Ant, but LaMelo Ball has stepped up since the Edwards injury.<\/p>\n

LaMelo is averaging 20.3 points per game without Ant, but most of his damage has been done late, averaging 25 points per game from his last four while hitting 20+ in five of his last six.<\/p>\n

Leg 2 – Cooper Flagg 20+ Points<\/h3>\n

He’s producing some sort of sophomore season.<\/p>\n

Cooper Flagg is averaging 25.9 points per game this season and has hit 20+ in seven of his ten games so far.<\/p>\n

Last game against the Pacers, Flagg finished with 43 points, and he’s produced 30+ points in three games already this season. He appears to play slightly better with Kyrie alongside him, with one of his misses coming against the Kings, where he scored just 17 points.<\/p>\n

Leg 3 – Ayo Dosunmu 18+ Points<\/h3>\n

I don’t think Ayo Dosunmu will win the Most Improved award because we’ll see Anthony Edwards back, which will dilute his output, but the former Bull is having an incredible run in Edwards’ absence.<\/p>\n

Dosunmu is averaging 18.1 points per game this season, but in the seven games without Edwards he’s averaging 21.6 points, hitting 18+ points in his last five games.<\/p>\n

Including last season, when Dosunmu played a bunch of games without Edwards after joining Minnesota, he’s averaging 20 points per game from a 15-game sample without Ant.<\/p>\n

Ball 20+ Points \/ Flagg 20+ Points \/ Dosunmu 18+ Points @ $3.80<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Value Bet<\/h2>\n

Ayo Dosunmu 25+ Points @ $4.90<\/h3>\n

He’s clearly flying under the radar, but Dosunmu’s last few games have been huge for the Timberwolves.<\/p>\n

Averaging 23.8 points from his last five, Dosunmu has hit 25+ in three of those games, including his last two, where he had 26 points in each. The most recent came in just 30 minutes against the Jazz.<\/p>\n

It’s a great price for him to hit 25+ in a third consecutive game.<\/p>\n
