    Victor Wembanyama has an over/under of 22.5 for Saturday’s game. This is lower than his season average of 23.9 ppg. But Wembanyama has recorded 21 ppg over his last five matchups, making the under favorable here. 

    Anthony Edwards has an over/under of 27.5 against the Spurs. This is also lower than his season average of 28.9 ppg. But like Wembanyama, Edwards has also failed to surpass the total in his last five matchups, recording 26.8 ppg. The under seems to be the safer bet.
