Edwards and Mitchell 5 Leg Rocket Arena Parlay Timberwolves at Cavaliers, leg by leg

Five lines from Minnesota's two guards and Cleveland's backcourt and power forward, with the unbeaten Wolves on the second night of a back-to-back. What each has done, what the ticket pays, and what beats each leg.

The short version

I built this around Anthony Edwards's 20 points, after 28.7 a game so far, and one three from Donovan Mitchell, who made 3.2 a game last season. Then LaMelo Ball's 10 points, one three from James Harden and two assists from Evan Mobley. At Kalshi's asks the five legs need 48.5% together and pay 2.06x, so $100 pays $206.12.

Donovan Mitchell 1+ made threes

Who: Cleveland's leading scorer, at 27.0 points a game so far.

The number: 3.2 made threes a game across 70 games last season, and 32 points at Philadelphia and 22 against Brooklyn this season. 1+ sits at 90 to 91 cents, 90.5% in the middle.

The matchup: Cleveland had Sunday off, and Minnesota is playing its second game in two days.

What beats it: A cold night from deep. He needs one make.

LaMelo Ball 10+ points

Who: Minnesota's new point guard, in his first season after coming over from Charlotte.

The number: 16.0 points, 6.3 assists and 3.7 made threes a game so far, after 20.1 points a game across 72 games last season. 10+ sits at 89 to 90 cents, 89.5% in the middle.

The matchup: He shares the backcourt with Edwards against Harden and Mitchell.

What beats it: Foul trouble, which held him to 17 minutes on Sunday.

James Harden 1+ made threes

Who: Cleveland's point guard, running the offense with 6.0 assists a game.

The number: 3.1 made threes a game across 70 games last season, and 14.0 points a game so far. 1+ sits at 85 to 86 cents, 85.5% in the middle.

The matchup: He comes in rested, with Minnesota on the second night of a back-to-back.

What beats it: Another cold shooting night like Saturday's, when he went 1 of 8.

Evan Mobley 2+ assists

Who: Cleveland's power forward, at 19.0 points and 9.0 rebounds a game through two games.

The number: 3.6 assists a game across 65 games last season. 2+ sits at 82 to 84 cents, 83% in the middle.

The matchup: He starts beside Jarrett Allen up front, against Rudy Gobert and Jaden McDaniels.

What beats it: A night where Harden and Mitchell finish most of the trips themselves.

Anthony Edwards 20+ points

Who: Minnesota's leading scorer.

The number: 28.7 points a game so far, with 45 in the opener and 26 on 10 of 18 shooting on Sunday, after 28.8 a game across 61 games last season. 20+ sits at 81 to 82 cents, 81.5% in the middle.

The matchup: Minnesota has won all three games by 22 points or more, and Kalshi has Cleveland at 62 to 63 cents to win, so this should be a tighter game.

What beats it: His right knee, which he was seen favoring on Sunday. He also scored 15 in his second game.

Kalshi bid and ask read 2026-10-26 8:14 AM PT. The number beside each leg is Agent Dime’s own estimate, not a market price.

The price

Multiply the five asks and the ticket costs 48.5¢ for every dollar it pays: 2.06x, so $100 pays $206.12. The market’s own chances, the middle of each bid and ask, multiply to 46.8%. Agent Dime has all five landing at 51.3%.

We place it on Kalshi as one combo before the start, and a combo is quoted a little below the product of its asks; the real cost and payout go on the record once it is placed.

How it was built

  • Minnesota's guards. Edwards's 20 points against his 28.7 so far, and Ball's 10 against his 16.0.
  • Cleveland's backcourt and power forward. One three each from Mitchell and Harden, who made 3.2 and 3.1 a game last season, and two assists from Mobley against his 3.6.
  • The matchup. Minnesota is 3-0, all by 22 points or more, and Cleveland is 1-1 with Sunday off. Kalshi has the Cavaliers at 62 to 63 cents to win.
  • Left off on purpose. Rudy Gobert's rebounding and Harden's passing, and Donte DiVincenzo, who is out.

Where it can break

All five legs have to land. The market's own chances multiply to 46.8%, under the 48.5% the asks need, which is the price of buying five lines at the ask instead of the middle.

Edwards was seen favoring his right knee against Toronto, and Minnesota is on the second night of a back-to-back. I watch his status before tip.

Foul trouble held Ball to 17 minutes on Sunday, and a lopsided score either way could cut the starters' minutes.
