New York Knicks at Minnesota Timberwolves odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s New York Knicks at Minnesota Timberwolves odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The New York Knicks (16-10) take on the Minnesota Timberwolves (14-11) Thursday. Tip-off from Target Center is set for 9:30 p.m. ET (TNT). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NBA odds around the Knicks vs. Timberwolves odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: First meeting; Tied 1-1 last season

The Knicks and C Karl-Anthony Towns come to the House of Wolves for the first time since his offseason trade to the Big Apple. After dropping from 24.6 points per game (PPG) to 20.8 and 21.8 the last 2 seasons, respectively, he’s binging again with 24.8 PPG and a career-high 13.9 rebounds per game. The Knicks covered as 4.5-point road favorites Sunday in beating the Orlando Magic 100-91 — the Under (213.5) cashed. KAT had 22 points and 22 rebounds.

G Anthony Edwards & Co. struggled to gel early on, but the Timberwolves won 6 of the past 7. The latest was a 106-92 victory in San Antonio as 4.5-point favorites Sunday — the Under (214.5) hit. Ant Man had 26 points and shot 3-for-7 from downtown. He’s shooting a career-high 42.4% from distance this season.

Knicks at Timberwolves picks and predictions

Prediction

Knicks 115, Timberwolves 113

Moneyline

I like the KNICKS (+120) in this spot. KAT and Wolves C Rudy Gobert went at each other a lot in practice when they were Minnesota teammates, and KAT is going to pull Gobert out to the perimeter. Gobert will have to respect that because Towns is also shooting a career-high 43.9% from deep. That will open up G/F Mikal Bridges or G Jalen Brunson to drive to the Gobert-less paint; or KAT can just shake Gobert off the dribble.

Against the spread

Since we’re going with the value on the ML, let’s take something a little more interesting. Ant Man is going to do his best to beat his former running mate, and he had his way with the Knicks, averaging 29 PPG and 7.0 RPG in 2 games against them last season. His points prop is at 25.5 and rebounds prop is at 5.5. Let’s scale each back one and SGP (same game parlay) ANTHONY EDWARDS 25 POINTS + 5 REBOUNDS (+130) for a plus-money profit. He has 5+ boards in 5 of 6.

Over/Under

The Knicks are 5-5 O/U, and the T-wolves are 3-7.

Here’s the thing, though. With this being Towns’ return to Minnesota, the emotion in the building will inspire some back-and-forth up and down the floor. I see the OVER 214.5 (-110) cashing easily. The Over cashed in 2 of the last 3 head-to-head meetings.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

Timberwolves at Spurs picks and predictions

Prediction

Timberwolves 109, Spurs 103

Moneyline

PASS.

While both sides could be enticing here, given the way the game is predicted, the road team’s spread is the better wager. Look there for value.

Against the spread

BET TIMBERWOLVES -4.5 (-110).

The Wolves have been on fire for bettors while the Spurs have been the exact opposite. San Antonio has failed to cover in 5 straight and is 3-6 ATS in its last 9 home games. Its defense has allowed at least 116 points in 4 straight contests and at least 139 points twice.

Minnesota is 4-1 ATS in its last 5 games and is 3-1 ATS in its last 4 outings on the road. The Timberwolves have allowed 92 or fewer points in going 5-1 in their last 6 games. Back TIMBERWOLVES -4.5 (-110).

Over/Under

BET UNDER 214.5 (-110).

The Spurs have gone Over in 4 straight, but they don’t necessarily play at a fast pace (15th in the league) and defend better than they have over the last week (19th in defensive rating).

Minnesota ranks fifth in defensive rating and 24th in pace. This won’t necessarily be a fast-tempo game. The T-wolves have gone Under in 5 of their last 6 games as well. Play UNDER 214.5 (-110).

Los Angeles Lakers at Minnesota Timberwolves odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s Los Angeles Lakers at Minnesota Timberwolves odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Los Angeles Lakers (13-11) take on the Minnesota Timberwolves (12-11) Friday. Tip-off from Target Center is set for 8 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NBA odds around the Lakers vs. Timberwolves odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Tied 1-1

The Lakers snapped a 3-game losing streak with a 107-98 brisk walk over the Portland Trail Blazers Sunday. F LeBron James sat out while F Anthony Davis went for 30 points, 11 boards and 5 blocks. G D’Angelo Russell picked it up for 28 points and 14 dimes in his best game in a while. The Lakers are 3-7 in their last 10, and they were embarrassed 109-80 on this court Dec. 2.

The T-wolves have started to show signs of breaking out of their slow start. They won 4 in a row, but dropped Sunday’s game at the Golden State Warriors 114-106. C Rudy Gobert was a non-factor with 4 points, 9 boards and 3 blocks. He was a -12 on the floor, though. That wasn’t the case the last time against the Lakers as he was a +17 with 17 points and 12 boards. G Anthony Edwards had just 8 points in that win.

Lakers at Timberwolves picks and predictions

Prediction

Timberwolves 111, Lakers 105

Moneyline

I agree the T-wolves are the side here, but LBJ was a -28 in the last game here about 2 weeks ago. His absence swelling the spread to 8.5 seems a bit much. D’lo will be the second option on offense, and he had 20 here last Monday.

Take D’ANGELO RUSSELL OVER 15.5 POINTS (-125).

Play our free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Against the spread

I’ll take the LAKERS +8.5 (-105) here. LeBron’s absence will be felt offensively, but he has a tendency to front-run and pout when they get behind. The Lakers will be a lot tighter defensively and potentially shoot better from the outside.

Over/Under

The Lakers hit the Over in 2 of their last 3 games. The T-wolves are just 4-6 O/U in their last 10. Outside of the 2 matchups this season, the Over cashed in 3 of 4 matchups. The total was 223.5 and 219 in the first 2 meetings, though, and I think it has come down enough to strike an OVER 214.5 (-110).

Timberwolves 107, Warriors 103

PASS.

I like the T-wolves to pick up the win here, but I prefer the points.

Against the spread

BET TIMBERWOLVES +1.5 (-120).

Minnesota has covered the spread in 3 straight games and and in both of its last 2 on the road. The T-wolves have also covered in their last 2 matchups against Golden State, being 4-1 ATS in the last 4 meetings.

Be aware that the Wolves are just 9-13 ATS this season while the Warriors are 12-9-1 ATS on the year.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 216.5 (-115).

The Under has hit in Golden State’s last 5 games and is 12-10 for the Warriors this season. For Minnesota, the Under is 4-0 in its last 4 games. The Under has also hit in 2 of the last 3 Minnesota-Golden State matchups, being 5-2 in the last 7 contests.

The Minnesota Timberwolves (11-10) square off against the Golden State Warriors (13-8) Friday evening. Tip-off from the Chase Center is set for 10 p.m. ET. (ESPN) Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NBA odds around the Timberwolves vs. Warriors odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: First meeting; Minnesota won 3-0 last season

The Wolves won their third straight Wednesday with a 108-80 beheading of the LA Clippers Wednesday. F Julius Randle led the way with 20 points as he went 4-for-9 from 3-point land. The 3-game win streak came after a 4-game losing streak.

The Dubs ended a 5-game losing streak with a 99-93 victory over the Houston Rockets Thursday. F Jonathan Kuminga had a career-high 33 points with G Stephen Curry out. The Warriors were 4-point dogs in the affair. Kuminga has averaged 20.1 PPG over the last 4 games.

Timberwolves at Warriors picks and predictions

Prediction

Timberwolves 109, Warriors 106

Moneyline

With Curry sitting out the front end of this back-to-back, I expect him to be in there Friday. Both of these teams are tied for 11th with 37.3% shooting from distance. The T-wolves have struggled to gel after the offseason trade of Karl-Anthony Towns to the Knicks for Randle.

They appear to have turned a corner. In their 3-game winning streak, G Anthony Edwards has scored 21, 8 and 16 on a combined 15-for-48 (31.2%). The T-wolves have won 4 straight against Golden State, and 3 of those were at Chase.

Instead of the -105 ML, take the ALTERNATE SPREAD TIMBERWOLVES -1.5 (+105), which is a much better payout for a minuscule 2-point win.

Against the spread

There’s no reason to place a bet here when we’re taking the value on the alternate spread. The players are also a little too inconsistent for me to make a prop suggestion.

PASS.

Over/Under

The Wolves have cashed 3 straight Unders and are 4-6 O/U in their last 10 games. The Warriors have cashed 4 straight Unders and are 2-8 O/U in their last 10 outings.

These teams have cashed 4 Unders in their last 6 meetings. Each side has also lost a bit of punch of offense.

I’ll take the UNDER 218.5 (-110).

Prediction

Clippers 109, Timberwolves 106

Moneyline

BET CLIPPERS (+125).

The Clippers have been rolling over the last few weeks. They haven’t lost at home since a Nov. 2 defeat against the Oklahoma City Thunder, 105-92. They are 8-1 ATS in their last 9 home games, having taken down the Kings, Magic, Nuggets and Warriors in that span.

Minnesota, while it did beat the Clippers Friday, has lost 7 of its last 11 games, going 3-8 ATS. The Timberwolves are 2-3 ATS in their last 5 road games.

Take CLIPPERS (+125).

Against the spread

PASS.

Given the size of the spread here, the preferred route is to take the home team to come out on top. The value is better on the ML, although the spread is certainly playable.

Over/Under

BET OVER 213.5 (-110).

Both teams have star players that can score the ball. For the Clippers, they are 4-2 O/U in their last 6 games, scoring at least 126 points in 2 straight. They have allowed at least 105 in 3 of their last 5.

The Timberwolves have scored at least 105 points in 6 of their last 8 games, going 4-4 O/U. They have allowed at least 110 points in 5 of 8 games, as well. Considering this low total and those trends, back OVER 213.5 (-110).

So the Lakers are old and on a back-to-back and just going to roll over, right? Wrong. In fact, they are 3-0 on no rest this season. They’re going to need to shore up their outside shooting, but the T-Wolves are struggling with life after Karl-Anthony Towns.

The Lakers are 4-3 in the last 7 meetings. I’ll take my chances on LAKERS +260.

I’m going with LEBRON JAMES UNDER 1.5 THREE-POINTERS (+100). He is 0-for-15 from downtown in his last 3 games.

For even money, I’ll take the chance.

Over/Under

The Lakers have cashed 5 straight Unders, and both teams are 2-8 O/U in their last 10. Those trends have dropped this total enough to be broken. The Over cashed in 3 of the last 5 meetings, and this would be the second-lowest total in their last 10 meetings.

Take the OVER 219 (-105).

With good plus odds on the moneyline, that is the better value and bet, so the spread isn’t as profitable.

PASS.

Over/Under

The Clippers are 7-13 O/U this season. Their last 3 games had totals surpassing 215 points, but the 3 games before that did not. Meanwhile, 6 of the Timberwolves’ last 10 games have gone Over the projected total.

In both meetings played in Minnesota last season, the total did not go above 214 points. The Under won in 3 of 4 meetings last season.

BET UNDER 214.5 (-110).

Season series: First meeting; Timberwolves swept 3-0 last season

The Rockets split a 2-game home series with the Portland Trail Blazers over the weekend. After winning the Friday-night opener 116-88, Houston lost 104-98 Saturday. The Rockets were 11.5-point favorites and the Under hit in both games.

Rockets at Timberwolves picks and predictions

Prediction

Rockets 110, Timberwolves 105

Moneyline

Whether or not Green plays, I still like the Rockets to win SU. I’ve never understood why the market thought so highly of the Timberwolves after they traded away F Karl-Anthony Towns in the offseason. Minnesota is just 2-4 SU in its last 6 games as a favorite and is still being overvalued due to its preseason expectations.

BET ROCKETS (+135).

Against the spread

Houston +3.5 (-110) is fine to play. I prefer getting plus money on the ML, though.

PASS. Bet the ML and/or total instead.

Over/Under

The Under has hit in back-to-back games overall for both teams. Houston scored 98 against Portland Saturday, and Minnesota put up 105 at Boston Sunday. Neither offense looks great right now.

BET UNDER 220.5 (-110).
