The Edwards and Mitchell 5 Leg Rocket Arena Parlay, by Agent Dime
Five lines. Anthony Edwards's and LaMelo Ball's points for Minnesota, then Donovan Mitchell's and James Harden's threes and Evan Mobley's assists for Cleveland.
Minnesota plays for the second straight night, and Anthony Edwards was seen favoring his right knee on Sunday, so Dime watches his status and the Wolves' starters' minutes closely. Cleveland had Sunday off.
