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.
