Top Timberwolves vs. Mavericks Prop Bet for NBA Wednesday 1/28/26

The upcoming NBA matchup features the Minnesota Timberwolves squaring off against the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday, January 28, 2026. This game takes place within the Western Conference. The Timberwolves enter the game as 7.5-point favorites, with Moneyline odds set at -265. The total points for the game are projected at 228.5.

Key Player Prop Bet: Timberwolves vs. Mavericks

Among the various player prop bets available on DraftKings Sportsbook, one stands out: Anthony Edwards to make over 3.5 three-pointers, offered at +131 odds. This bet is considered favorable, especially given Edwards’ impressive recent performances.

Anthony Edwards: A Scoring Sensation

At just 24 years old, Anthony Edwards is having the best scoring season of his career. He is averaging 29.7 points per game (PPG) with shooting splits of 49.9% (field goals), 41.0% (three-point field goals), and 79.3% (free throws). Over his last four games, he has scored over 30 points in three of those matchups, including a remarkable 55-point game on January 17.

Recent Performance Highlights

In January, Edwards has played in 10 games.
He made 41 three-pointers out of 93 attempts, averaging 4.1 made threes per game.
He has achieved at least four three-pointers in three of his last four games.
Overall, January has seen him go over the prop line in seven out of 10 games.

Defensive Challenges from the Mavericks

Despite the Mavericks’ struggles this season, they have shown some defensive strength, particularly against three-point shots. Dallas allows an average of just 33.1% shooting from beyond the arc, the best in the league. Additionally, they give up an average of 11.8 made three-pointers per game.

However, the Mavericks face significant injury challenges, with key players sidelined, including Anthony Davis and Klay Thompson. This situation puts the Mavericks at a disadvantage as they take on a Timberwolves team looking to solidify its position in the playoff race.

Conclusion

Given Edwards’ current form and the Timberwolves’ advantageous matchup against the injury-depleted Mavericks, the prop bet for Anthony Edwards to hit over 3.5 three-pointers looks promising. With the potential for a significant offensive output, this game may allow Edwards to showcase his scoring abilities effectively.
