With Giannis still out of the picture for the Milwaukee Bucks, Anthony Edward should have an easy path to 25 points as he faces a weakened defense. Here's why we're backing Edwards to hit 25+ points in back-to-back games.
Ant-Man has already averaged 28.5 points per game for the Timberwolves this season. And that's not surprising, as Edwards leads in usage rate for Minnesota (30.9) and also minutes per game (34.7) for the team with the 8th-best offensive rating (117.1). The Timberwolves also average the 8th-highest PPG this season (119.2), and the majority of that offensive play runs through Ant.
This offensive powerhouse of a team now plays against a Bucks side that's missing its star player and defender. Since Giannis’ injury, the Bucks have lost 11 of 14 games and cannot seem to stop allowing points. Milwaukee has dropped to 21st in PPG allowed (117.4), while allowing 115.8 since Giannis was injured.
The Bucks now also allow the 17th-highest FG% (47.3%) and the 16th-highest 3PT% (36.1%), which is deadly against the Timberwolves, who make the 9th-highest FG% (47.9%) and 4th-highest 3PT% (37.5%). With Edwards' usage rate and the Timberwolves’ reliance on him to rake in points, we should be in for another 25-point thriller from Ant.

Our Minnesota Timberwolves vs Milwaukee Bucks Prediction
Edwards has now scored 25+ points in eight of his last ten games, and is poised to do so against the Bucks, especially after his 25-point heroics against the Thunder. There's just a huge mismatch that Ant-Man should capitalize on. Without Giannis, Milwaukee has gone on to allow the 10th-highest PPG.
That's just the perfect matchup for Minnesota, which is top ten in FG% and 3PT%, to capitalize on. And with Edwards topping usage rate and minutes per game for the Timberwolves, he should hit 25+ points unless an early blowout sees him take an early rest. Hence, our Minnesota Timberwolves vs Milwaukee Bucks prediction is that Anthony Edwards scores 25+ points.
