Nets at Timberwolves picks and predictions

Prediction

Timberwolves 115, Nets 108

Moneyline

PASS.

Taking the Timberwolves straight up at -190 isn’t advised as the profit would be about half of what you wager if they secure the win.

Against the spread

LEAN TIMBERWOLVES -4.5 (-110).

G Spencer Dinwiddie, F Cameron Johnson and C Nicolas Claxton all missed Thursday’s game for the Nets, and it remains to be seen if they return Friday. Brooklyn is also 9-27 ATS against Minnesota in the last 36 meetings.

Over/Under

UNDER 227.5 (-112) is how I’d play the total despite it being a pace-up game for the Nets. Both teams are also in the top half of the league in defensive rating this season.

The Nets are 7-0 to the Under in their last 7 games following an ATS win and 4-0 to the Under in their last 4 games overall. Meanwhile, the Timberwolves are 6-1 to the Under in their last 7 games overall.

The Nets picked up their second consecutive win when they defeated the San Antonio Spurs 117-102 Friday. They are 2-1 on this road trip and 4-2 in their last six games. Brooklyn has been without F Kevin Durant for the last three games due to a knee injury.

The Timberwolves last played on Wednesday when they suffered a 134-122 loss at the Atlanta Hawks. They are home for this one game against the Nets before going on the road for three games. Minnesota is 6-3 in its last nine outings.

Nets at Timberwolves odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Nets 119, Timberwolves 111

Money line

The Nets have the league’s second-best road record at 17-4 and will have two of their big three players as G Kyrie Irving is eligible to play in a road game and will pair with G James Harden.

The Timberwolves have the size with C Karl-Anthony Towns but are wildly inconsistent. They can beat the likes of the Golden State Warriors but lose to the New Orleans Pelicans.

The Nets are 5-2 as underdogs this season and 4-2 as road ‘dogs.

Take the NETS (+122).

Against the spread

The Nets are 18-26-1 ATS this season, which is better than only two teams, but they are 13-9 ATS on the road. They are 4-2 ATS in their last six games.

Minnesota is 23-22 ATS overall and 10-12 ATS at home. They have covered the spread only once in their last five games.

Since I anticipate an outright Nets win, if you are betting the spread, take the NETS +2.5 (-105).

Over/Under

Only 46.7% of the Nets’ games all season have gone Over the projected total. Three of their last four games stayed Under.

However, Minnesota’s 25-20 O/U record is the third-highest Over percentage in the league. Six of its last seven games have hit the Over.

With the projected total so high, it is going to be hard to reach it.

Take UNDER 236.8 (-108).

Brooklyn Nets at Minnesota Timberwolves odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Monday’s Brooklyn Nets at Minnesota Timberwolves NBA odds and lines, with basketball picks, tips and predictions.

The Brooklyn Nets (36-17) will visit the Minnesota Timberwolves (14-40) on Monday night, their second meeting in the last two weeks. Tip-off from Target Center will be at 8 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze the Nets-Timberwolves odds and lines, with NBA picks and predictions.

Despite being banged up, the Nets have remained hot as of late. They’ve won seven of their last 10 games, though they are coming off a 25-point loss to the short-handed Lakers on Saturday.

James Harden remains out with a hamstring injury, but Kevin Durant is back after missing time with a hamstring injury of his own.

The Timberwolves continue to struggle, losing four of their last six and two of their last three games.

On Sunday, they knocked off the Bulls, 121-117, led by C Karl Anthony-Towns‘ 27 points, 12 rebounds and eight assists. PG D’Angelo Russell also poured in 27 points in just 26 minutes.

Nets at Timberwolves: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Timberwolves 122, Nets 119

Money line (ML)

The Nets had their share of troubles against the Lakers in their 126-101 loss. Irving was ejected after playing 21 minutes, and as a team, the Nets shot 18.5% from deep.

Brooklyn will be without Irving, Aldridge and Harden on Monday night and while Durant is capable of carrying the team against the T-Wolves, Minnesota will be a tough out.

Consider putting a small wager on the TIMBERWOLVES (+195) to win straight up tonight with Towns and Russell coming off strong performances.

Against the spread (ATS)

The Nets are giving Minnesota 6 points in this one, though the spread would’ve been much larger had Brooklyn not been missing several key players.

The Timberwolves are 4-1 ATS in their last five home games, while Brooklyn is just 2-7 ATS in its last nine games overall.

Take the points and bet the TIMBERWOLVES +6 (-110) to cover.

Over/Under (O/U)

The Over/Under is 236.5 points, the highest of any game on the slate Monday night. The total has gone Over in each of the Nets’ last three games, as well as the Timberwolves’ last three, too.

Neither team is great defensively and both have players who can fill up the stat sheet. Take the OVER 236.5 (-110).
