Timberwolves at Nuggets picks and predictions

Prediction

Nuggets 105, Timberwolves 101

Moneyline

PASS.

I expect the Nuggets to win here and not be swept at home, but they are not worth the risk of betting on as -225 favorites. Bet on the spread and/or total instead.

Against the spread

BET TIMBERWOLVES +5.5 (-110).

Minnesota has covered the spread in all 5 playoff games thus far, including covering as an underdog in each of its last 3 games. The Timberwolves are also 6-4 ATS in their last 10 matchups vs. Denver overall, being 4-1 ATS in the 5 matchups this season.

Over/Under

Updated at 2:50 a.m. ET.

Originally, I wrote this as “LEAN Under 206.5 (-115),” but BetMGM Sportsbook’s O/U line has dropped a full point to 205.5 (-110), so now it’s a PASS.

The Under has hit in back-to-back games for Denver and is 5-1 for the Nuggets in these playoffs. The Under has also hit in 2 of the last 3 Minnesota-Denver matchups, being 3-2 in the last 5 meetings.

Plus, the Over is 4-2 in Minnesota’s last 6 games.

Prediction

Nuggets 112, Timberwolves 104

PASS.

There is no value on Denver (-190) to win at home.

Against the spread

BET DENVER -4.5 (-110).

The Nuggets hold the advantage over the Timberwolves with Murray and Jokic, even with Murray listed as questionable for Saturday’s game. Denver has covered in 6 of its last 10 games, including 3 of its last 5 at home.

Minnesota faces a difficult challenge on the road after dealing with a disheveled Suns team in the 1st round.

Over/Under

BET OVER 208.5 (-110).

The Timberwolves have hit the Over in 7 of their last 10 games and scored 120 or more in 3 or their last 4. They have scored 105 or more points in 9 straight games.

Denver has scored 108 or more points in each of its last 3 games and in 9 of its last 10 overall.

Minnesota Timberwolves at Phoenix Suns Game 4 odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Minnesota Timberwolves at Phoenix Suns odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The 3-seed Minnesota Timberwolves meet the 6-seed Phoenix Suns in Game 4 of a best-of-7 Western Conference, 1st-round series Sunday. The Timberwolves lead the series 3-0. Tip-off from Footprint Center is scheduled for 9:30 p.m. ET (TNT). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Timberwolves vs. Suns odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The T-Wolves smacked the Suns 126-109 in Game 3 to put the Phoenix Big 3 on the brink of elimination. G Anthony Edwards had 36 points, and C Rudy Gobert had 19 points and 14 boards. The Wolves opened the game up in the 3rd quarter in each game. The Wolves went 7-for-11 from distance in the quarter to take a 22-point lead into the 4th quarter.

G Bradley Beal showed up with 28 points, which nearly matched his combined output of 29 in the first 2 games. The Suns were outrebounded 50-28 in Game 3. They’re going to have to figure out a way to contend with the Wolves’ size underneath or else they’re going home Sunday.

Timberwolves at Suns picks and predictions

Prediction

Timberwolves 118, Suns 105

Moneyline

It’s not going to look good on F Kevin Durant‘s resume, but the Suns are getting swept. Even the books have aligned with that thought.

It makes more sense to take the miniscule spread at even-money, though.

PASS.

Against the spread

Take the TIMBERWOLVES -1.5 (+100) here. The Suns are overmatched, as Gobert has patrolled the paint like a beast. The Suns almost have to shoot the lights out from 3 in order to win, and that’s where the rebounding disadvantage looms.

Over/Under

We’ve cashed 2 Overs and 1 Under, and the Under hit when Phoenix scored a paltry 93 points. This is a manageable Over, and I’m all about it.

Take the OVER 212.5 (-110).

Minnesota Timberwolves at Phoenix Suns Game 3 odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s Minnesota Timberwolves at Phoenix Suns odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The 3-seed Minnesota Timberwolves meet the 6-seed Phoenix Suns in Game 3 of a best-of-7 Western Conference, 1st-round series Friday. The Timberwolves lead the series 2-0. Tip-off from Footprint Center is scheduled for 10:30 p.m. ET (ESPN). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Timberwolves vs. Suns odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Timberwolves have dominated Phoenix, and that was no more evident than Game 2 with a 105-93 win Tuesday. G Anthony Edwards only had 15 points on 3-for-12 shooting, but the Wolves had 6 players hit double figures. F Jaden McDaniels stood out with 25 points and 8 boards, and the team was a +24 when he was on the floor.

G Devin Booker (20 points), F Kevin Durant (18) and G Bradley Beal (14) shot 18-for-45 (40%) from the floor. Making matters worse, they lost G Grayson Allen in the 3rd quarter after aggravating an ankle sprain. There is still enough talent for the Suns to get back into this series, but it has to turn on in Game 3 at home.

Timberwolves at Suns picks and predictions

Prediction

Suns 109, Timberwolves 106

Moneyline

Over the last 10 meetings, the Suns have still won 7, and they won all 4 at home. I think they’ll find a way to get this one, but there’s no chance I’m spending -190 on them after the defensive excellence Minnesota has shown.

Instead, fresh off the playoff game of his career, I’ll take JADEN MCDANIELS OVER 4.5 REBOUNDS (+105). He has 6 and 8 boards in the first 2 games.

Against the spread

I’m siding with the Wolves here. The Suns could absolutely blow them out at home, but the Wolves have stymied them on both sides of the ball. There’s a legit chance Minnesota actually wins out.

Take the TIMBERWOLVES +4.5 (-115).

Over/Under

We have cashed an Over and an Under in this series, and the Wolves have held the Suns under 100 in each game. I don’t see the Suns remaining under 100 in this one.

Take the OVER 207.5 (-110).

Phoenix Suns at Minnesota Timberwolves Game 2 odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Phoenix Suns at Minnesota Timberwolves odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The 6-seed Phoenix Suns and 3-seed Minnesota Timberwolves meet in Game 2 of a best-of-7 Western Conference, 1st-round series Tuesday. The Timberwolves lead the series 1-0. Tip-off from Target Center is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET (TNT). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Suns vs. Timberwolves odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Timberwolves howled at the moon as they eclipsed the Suns 120-95 in Game 1 Saturday. The Suns led 28-27 after 1 quarter but were outscored in each of the next 3. F Kevin Durant did his part with 31 points and 7 boards. G Devin Booker had an off night with 18 points on 5-for-16 shooting.

The T-Wolves smothered the Suns defensively, outrebounding them 52 to 28. The Wolves also won the paint battle with 52 points to their 34. C Rudy Gobert was the difference with 14 points and 16 boards. He didn’t block a shot, but he altered several in the paint. G Anthony Edwards had 33 points, on 4-for-8 from distance, 9 boards and 6 dimes. G Nickeil Alexander-Walker was also a menace with 18 points and 4 steals.

It’s hard to fathom a team with KD, Booker and G Bradley Beal could fail to have the depth to compete with the likes of Minnesota, but that is exactly what happened.

Suns at Timberwolves picks and predictions

Prediction

Timberwolves 114, Suns 109

Moneyline

We had a crazy stat going into Monday’s action. Between the NHL and NBA best-of-7 playoffs, the home teams were 14-0. A couple of NHL road teams ended that streak Monday night, but the home teams are still undefeated in the NBA.

I could see that trend ending Tuesday — but not in this game. The Suns are going to have to shoot the lights out or get Gobert in foul trouble in order to steal this one. I do see some regression from the Timberwolves, who shot 50% from the floor in Game 1, but they preserve home court.

Instead of taking the -155, let’s SGP the TIMBERWOLVES ML + ANTHONY EDWARDS 20 POINTS (-105). Upon logging into my BetMGM account, I had a 33% boost token for a minimum odds of -300. That made this SGP +126.

Against the spread

I’m foregoing the spread here. Some shops have already gone down to Minnesota laying 3 points instead of the 3.5. If that falls to 2.5, I’d entertain the idea.

PASS.

Over/Under

The Over 213.5 cruised in the 120-95 Game 1 finish. The Over is 7-3 in the last 10 matchups between the teams. Minnesota is 7-3 O/U in its last 10, and Phoenix is 5-5.

I like the OVER 211.5 (-115).

Phoenix Suns at Minnesota Timberwolves Game 1 odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Phoenix Suns at Minnesota Timberwolves odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Minnesota Timberwolves welcome the Phoenix Suns to Target Center for Game 1 of their 1st-round best-of-7 series in the NBA Playoffs Saturday. Tip is set for 3:30 p.m. ET (ESPN). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Suns vs. Timberwolves odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

Regular season series: Suns lead 3-0

The Suns ended the regular season winning 3 straight games and improving their record to 49-33. They finished 35-45-2 against the spread (ATS). Phoenix was 5-3 ATS in its last 8 games and ended the season with a 19-21-1 ATS record on the road. The Suns are led by G Devin Booker, who is averaging 27.1 points per game.

Minnesota and Phoenix wrapped up their regular seasons with a meeting in Minneapolis Sunday, a 125-106 Suns win. The Timberwolves (56-26) failed to cover against Phoenix in all 3 regular-season meetings and was 41-41 ATS overall. It’s led by the impressive play of G Anthony Edwards, who is averaging 25.9 points per game.

Suns at Timberwolves picks and predictions

Prediction

Suns 110, Timberwolves 108

Moneyline

PASS.

While the plus-money option for Phoenix (+104) is enticing, the spread offer the better value here, and it is the preferred play.

Against the spread

BET SUNS +1.5 (-108).

The Suns have had the Wolves’ number this season, beating them by double digits in every game. Phoenix has the talented scorers to make it difficult for Minnesota to keep pace.

The Suns won 6 of their last 8 down the stretch and were 5-3 ATS in those. They weren’t healthy for most of the season but are starting to put it together late and should have a strong opening to this series.

The Wolves lost 3 of their last 6 and were 18-21-2 ATS at home, which isn’t too impressive either. Considering all those trends, back SUNS +1.5 (-108).

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 214.5 (-110).

The Suns and Wolves are 2-1 O/U on the season in their 3 matchups, and in the lone Under, both teams shot under 45% from the field. These teams are too talented to continue shooting that poorly.

The Wolves had gone Over in 6 of their last 8 games, allowing at least 116 points in 4 of their last 5. Considering the high-level scorers the Suns have and the current form Minnesota is in, back OVER 214.5 (-110).

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Minnesota Timberwolves (55-24) battle the Denver Nuggets (55-24) Wednesday with 1st place in the Western Conference on the line. Tip-off at Ball Arena is scheduled for 10 p.m. ET (ESPN). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Timberwolves vs. Nuggets odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Timberwolves lead 2-1; Road team won each of the past 2 meetings, both in March, while Minnesota has covered all 3 meetings

The Timberwolves roughed up the Washington Wizards 130-121 in the Twin Cities on Tuesday night, but they didn’t come close to covering as an 18-point favorite as the Over (224) cashed. The T-wolves have won 4 of the past 5 games, and 8 of the past 10 contests outright, but they’re just 3-5 against the spread (ATS) in the past 8 games. The Over is 4-1 in the past 5 contests.

The defending World Champs are looking to hang onto the top overall seed in the Western Conference, entering this game tied for the top spot in the conference with the Timberwolves. Denver has won 4 of its past 5 games, while covering the last 2. The Nuggets haven’t covered in 3 in a row since a 4-0 ATS run from Feb. 22-28. Denver has cashed the Under in 5 of the past 7 games.

Timberwolves at Nuggets picks and predictions

Prediction

Nuggets 115, Timberwolves 107

Moneyline

The Nuggets (-225) will cost you more than 2 times your potential return, and that’s just a little risky for such a huge clash.

The Timberwolves (+180) have the unfortunate situation of playing at home, then flying from the Twin Cities to the Mile High City, working on no rest.

PASS.

Against the spread

The NUGGETS -5.5 (-115) are also playing on no rest, but they won 111-95 in Utah, and stayed on Mountain Time with a quick jump from Salt Lake City back to Denver, while sleeping in their own beds on Tuesday night.

The Timberwolves +1.5 (-105) are just 1-4 ATS in the past 5 games when working on no rest, including the most recent meeting at home against the Nuggets, falling 115-112 on March 19 as a 7.5-point favorite.

Over/Under

OVER 212.5 (-115) is the play, and it’s the Timberwolves driving that wager.

The total has gone high in 5 straight games when Minnesota is playing on no rest, and the Over is 10-2 in the second end of a back-to-back set this season.

For the Nuggets, the Over has cashed in 3 of the past 4 games when playing on no rest.

Moneyline

PASS.

There is no value on the Timberwolves (-1600), who are 28-10 at home this season to beat the Wizards (+900), who are 8-31 on the road.

Against the spread

BET WIZARDS +16.5 (-110).

Washington is 5-4-1 ATS in its last 10 games. It is 5-1-1 ATS in its last 7 games playing as an underdog and 4-0-1 ATS in its last 5 games playing as a double digit underdog. The Wizards are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 meetings with the Timberwolves since 2019.

Minnesota is just 2-3 ATS in its last 5 games and 1-3 ATS in its last 4 at home.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 223.5 (-110).

Washington has scored 112 or fewer points in 6 of its last 10 games and faces a Minnesota team that has allowed 110 or fewer points in 8 of its last 10. While the T-wolves have capabilities of scoring in droves, their defense will play a key factor in the Under hitting on Tuesday night.

Timberwolves at Lakers picks and predictions

Prediction

Timberwolves 114, Lakers 110

Moneyline

Both teams come into this game pretty hot. The Lakers have won 4 straight and 9 of 10. The TIMBERWOLVES (+105) lost Friday but are 9-3 in their last 12 games.

Minnesota has not lost consecutive games since losing 2 in a row from March 8-10.

The Lakers are strong at home at 29-12 but are only 8-6 when playing on no rest.

The Wolves are 19-3 when playing with a rest advantage, so expect them to bounce back from the 87-point performance against Phoenix for a win.

BET TIMBERWOLVES (+105).

Against the spread

With slight plus odds on the moneyline, you are better off making the bet on the Timberwolves to win outright.

PASS.

Over/Under

Minnesota has held opponents under 100 points in 5 of its last 8 games.

However, the Lakers have scored 116 or more points in 4 straight games and 7 of 8.

Two of the 3 meetings have had 220 or more total points.

BET OVER 219.5 (-105).
