00:00The points prop for Anthony Edwards entering game one was 25 and a half, if I am not mistaken.
00:07Shea Gildas Alexander at 31 and a half.
00:10He stayed barely under, but did score 31 with 20 points coming in the second half.
00:1511 from the charity stripe.
00:17But we focus on Anthony Edwards first and foremost.
00:21What does he need to do tonight, DLS, for the Timberwolves to even cover the number and keep this game close?
00:27He's got to be in the high 20s or low 30s.
00:29There's no question about it.
00:30He's the best player they have on their team.
00:31Love what Julius Randle did in game number one.
00:33Julius Randle sits at 19 and a half in game number two.
00:35But the focus is on Anthony Edwards, no doubt, in my mind.
00:38And also, as you talk about, on that opening number, he opened up at some outlets 27 and a half as his points prop.
00:45And it slowly came down during the day.
00:47And, you know, look, I bet that.
00:48I love the under for Anthony Edwards.
00:49And he didn't get 20 points in the last game.
00:51So it's like, all right, understanding the task at hand.
00:54Loved OKC game number one.
00:56Loved Anthony Edwards to the under.
00:58Complete role reversal for me in game number two.
01:01I really like the Minnesota Timberwolves at seven and a half.
01:03But you know what?
01:04I might like even more.
01:05The points prop for Anthony Edwards.
01:06Come on now.
01:07I don't.
01:07Lou Doerth's a great defender.
01:08And that's part of the handicap for game number one.
01:11But sometimes, as a superstar, you have to take things in your own hand.
01:14Because it was just so easy.
01:15Everybody would just get a defensive stalwart and say, yeah, Anthony Edwards can't beat us here.
01:19It's up to the superstar to impose his will on the defender.
01:23Get to the free throw line.
01:24Make your three-point shots.
01:25And to see that graphic correctly here, which Anthony Edwards, the longest shooting distance of his career, came in game number one.
01:31Come on, man.
01:32You're too big, talented, and powerful not to get to the rim and get those easy buckets, which is what you need.
01:3824 and a half.
01:39I love Anthony Edwards to get over that price point tonight, Ben.
01:43I do.
01:44Completely agree, DRS.
01:45And then you need the secondary members to help as well.
01:48Julius Randle has been sensational in this playoff run.
01:5124 plus now in five consecutive games.
01:54Was Minnesota's leading scorer in game number one with 28.
01:58But you need a lot out of Anthony Edwards.
02:00You also need guys like Nas Reed, Dante DiVincenzo, and Nikhil Alexander-Walker not to be atrocious off the bench.
02:07They were a combined five of 28 from three key scorers in that second unit.
02:13Jalen Williams, solid in game one.
02:15Chet Holmgren, solid in game one.
02:17How about Kenrick Williams off the bench?
02:19A perfect three of three from the floor.
02:21Two of two from deep and playing some excellent defense.
02:24As well.
02:26OKC has a lot of horses that can run in this series.
02:29A lot of depth and balance for this Thunder side.
