Timberwolves at Nets picks and predictions

Prediction

Nets 111, Timberwolves 107

Moneyline

BET NETS (+110).

The Nets are currently on a 3-game win streak and have won 4 of their last 5 outings. The Wolves have dropped 3 in a row including their last game as 19-point home favorites against a Portland team that has all but given up for the season.

Brooklyn can present a lot of issues for opposing teams as it ranks top 5 in offensive field-goal percentage (5th; 48.9%), defensive field-goal percentage (4th; 46.3%) and offensive 3-point percentage (5th; 38.1%). It also has played its best basketball at home this season with a 22-16 home record while Minnesota has played its worst basketball on the road this season with an 18-21 record.

Against the spread

PASS.

The moneyline presents better odds for the Nets in this matchup.

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 224.5 (-105).

The Under is 5-1 in the Wolves’ last 6 Tuesday games, 4-1 in their last 5 games overall and 4-1 in their last 5 games when their opponent allows 100 or more points in their previous game.

The Under is 15-5-1 in the Nets’ last 21 games following an outright victory and is 21-17 when they play at home this season.

While this game should remain competitive, do not expect an overflow of points.

The Trail Blazers fell 138-114 while failing to cover as 14-point home underdogs against the Sacramento Kings on Friday. They have lost 5 games in a row and are 1-9 in their last 10. In that span, they are 2-8 against the spread (ATS) to fall to 35-41-1 ATS this season.

Portland leads the season series 2-1 winning twice at home in mid-December and covering as favorites in both games. Minnesota won the most recent matchup 113-106 on Jan. 4 to cover as a 1.5-point home favorite.

Trail Blazers at Timberwolves picks and predictions

Prediction

Timberwolves 118, Trail Blazers 100

Moneyline

PASS.

The -2000 odds on a Wolves team facing a beaten and bruised Blazers squad presents no value.

Against the spread

LEAN TIMBERWOLVES -17.5 (-105).

The Trail Blazers are a mere fraction of their regular squad as a result of injury and coming up on the end of the season. They lost their previous 2 games by a combined total of 64 points and have failed to cover the spread in each of their last 3 games in which they were also double-digit underdogs. They are also 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 223.5 (-110).

The Under is 3-1 in both the Blazers’ and T-wolves’ last 4 games. The Under is also 3-0-1 in Minnesota’s last 4 Sunday games.

The Under is 22-15 in road games this season for the Blazers and 22-16-1 in home games for the Timberwolves.

With many key players sidelined in this matchup, do not expect a lot of points, especially from Portland which will have trouble keeping Sunday’s game a competition.

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.

The Los Angeles Lakers (38-38) and Minnesota Timberwolves (39-38) meet Friday at Target Center. Tip-off is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET (NBA TV). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Lakers vs. Timberwolves odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Lakers covered the spread as 3.5-point favorites Wednesday with a 121-110 win at the Chicago Bulls. F LeBron James scored 25 points for the Lakers, who have won 4 of their last 5 games and are 9th in the Western Conference.

The Timberwolves failed to cover as 6-point underdogs Wednesday in a 107-100 loss at the Phoenix Suns. G Anthony Edwards had a game-high 31 points as Minnesota’s 4-game win streak ended. The Timberwolves are a half-game ahead of the Lakers for the 8th seed in the West.

The Timberwolves lead this season’s series 2-0 straight up and against the spread, with the Under hitting in both meetings. Minnesota covered as a 1.5-point road favorite 110-102 as the Under (227) cashed in the most recent meeting March 3.

Lakers at Timberwolves picks and predictions

Prediction

Lakers 119, Timberwolves 110

Moneyline

BET LAKERS (-110).

Los Angeles has won 4 of its last 5 games with the lone loss being due to James returning to the lineup and momentarily upsetting team chemistry. Minnesota’s 4-game win streak ended Wednesday, but each of those wins was by 6 or fewer points and could have gone either way. The Timberwolves should struggle to beat the Lakers 3 times in 1 season, especially since Los Angeles has been the better team lately.

Against the spread

PASS.

Los Angeles +1.5 (-122) should hit, but there is no need to pay the higher price on the spread when the Lakers should win straight up. Bet the moneyline and/or total instead.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 232.5 (-108).

The Under is 4-1 in Los Angeles’ last 5 games and 5-0 in its last 5 vs. teams with a winning record.

The Under has hit in 6 of Minnesota’s last 8 games and is 9-3-1 in its last 13 at home. These teams tend to play low-scoring games vs. each other, with the Under hitting in each of the last 6 meetings, and Friday’s matchup should stay Under the total once again.

Minnesota Timberwolves at Sacramento Kings odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Monday’s Minnesota Timberwolves at Sacramento Kings odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Minnesota Timberwolves (38-37) visit the Sacramento Kings (45-29) on Monday at Golden 1 Center. Tip is scheduled for 10 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Timberwolves vs. Kings odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Timberwolves have picked up 3 straight victories, including a 99-96 win at the Golden State Warriors as 5.5-point underdogs on Sunday to open their 3-game West Coast trip. The Under cashed and snapped a 4-0 Over streak for the T’Wolves.

The Kings wrap up a 4-game homestand Monday. Sacramento lost 132-109 to Boston Tuesday but racked up back-to-back 8-point victories against the Phoenix Suns (135-127, Friday) and Utah Jazz (121-113, Saturday). The Kings also snapped a 4-0 run to the Over with an Under result last time out.

For most recent updates: Official NBA injury report.

Timberwolves at Kings picks and predictions

Prediction

Kings 124, Timberwolves 120

Moneyline

The Kings (-200) will cost you 2 times your potential return, and that’s just too much risk for not enough reward, especially with Fox nursing a sore right hamstring and potentially unable to suit up. He missed Saturday’s game against the Utah Jazz.

Fox averages a team-high 25.3 points while hitting 51.6% of his field-goal attempts and adds 6.1 assists and 4.2 rebounds per game. If he doesn’t play, it’s a major difference.

PASS.

Against the spread

The TIMBERWOLVES +4.5 (-102) are the lean either way, but especially so if Fox is not cleared to play. A combination of G Matthew Dellavedova and G Davion Mitchell is not nearly as formidable as Fox.

Mitchell made the start Saturday with Fox sidelined and posted 11 points with 6 assists and 4 steals.

The Timberwolves are 6-2 ATS in the past 8 games on the road and 5-1 ATS in the past 6 outings when playing on no rest. Minnesota is also 6-2-1 ATS in the past 9 meetings with the Kings and is 3-1-1 ATS in the past 5 trips to Sacramento.

Over/Under

Play the OVER 240.5 (-112).

The Over is 4-1 in Minnesota’s last 5 games overall, 5-1 in its last 6 road outings and 4-1 in its last 5 playing on no rest.

The Kings have also posted a 4-1 Over mark in the past 5 games overall, have cashed 8 of their last 10 against winning sides and are 8-3 in their last 11 at Golden 1 Center.

The Over has connected in each of the past 5 meetings between these teams in Sacramento.

Minnesota Timberwolves at Golden State Warriors odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Minnesota Timberwolves at Golden State Warriors odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Minnesota Timberwolves (37-37) open a 3-game road trip on Sunday starting with the Golden State Warriors (39-36). Tip-off is 8:30 p.m. ET at Chase Center (NBA TV). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Timberwolves vs. Warriors odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Timberwolves have been off since Wednesday, when they beat the Atlanta Hawks 125-124 at home but failed to cover the 3.5-point spread as favorites. They have won 2 games in a row, but lost 5 of the previous 6 games before that.

The Warriors have won 3 games in a row. They last played on Friday, a 120-112 home win over the Philadelphia 76ers as 4.5-point favorites. They are 5-6 in their last 11 games.

Timberwolves at Warriors picks and predictions

Prediction

Warriors 120, Timberwolves 110

Moneyline

The Warriors are nearly unbeatable at home. They are 30-7 at Chase Center and have won 10 straight there. The Timberwolves are 16-20 on the road and have lost 5 straight on the road to the Warriors. But the line isn’t worth the action on the Warriors unless it is a leg of a parlay bet.

PASS.

Against the spread

The Warriors are even a good ATS bet at home as they are 25-11-1 ATS at home on the season. They are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 home games vs. teams with losing road records like Minnesota, which is 17-19 ATS on the road.

BET WARRIORS -6.5 (-110).

Over/Under

Only 1 of the 3 games between the 2 teams this season has reached 240 total points. The Over is 4-0 in Minnesota’s last 4 games.

But the Under is 6-1-1 in the Warriors’ last 8 home games and 4-0-1 in their last 5 home games against teams with losing road records like Minnesota.

BET UNDER 239.5 (-110).

Minnesota fell 122-107 at the Toronto Raptors Saturday, failing to cover as a 9.5-point underdog. It has now lost 3 games in a row and is 4-6 in its last 10 games. The Timberwolves are 5-5 against the spread (ATS) over that span and sit at 34-38 ATS this season.

New York took down the visiting Denver Nuggets 116-110 Saturday as a 1-point underdog to record its 3rd straight win. The Knicks are 7-3 straight up (SU) and ATS in their last 10 games, improving to 40-29-3 ATS this season.

Timberwolves at Knicks picks and predictions

Prediction

Knicks 114, Timberwolves 102

Moneyline

PASS.

The Knicks (-340) should win this match by margin and there is no real value in risking nearly 3 1/2 times your potential return on a moneyline wager. Focus on the spread and/or total instead.

Against the spread

BET KNICKS -8.5 (-108).

The Wolves could be in big trouble if Edwards and Gobert end up not playing as they would have nobody to facilitate their defense with Towns already ruled out. Minnesota already enters on a 3-game SU losing skid and a 2-game ATS losing skid and is just 2-4 ATS as a 7.5-9.5-point underdog this year.

The Knicks are 3-1-1 ATS as 7.5-9.5-point favorites. They enter on a 3-game ATS win streak and are 6-1-1 ATS in their last 8 home games and 9-1 ATS in their last 10 games following an ATS win.

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 229.5 (-112).

The Under is 5-1 in the Knicks’ last 6 games overall, 5-1 in their last 6 after allowing 100 or more points in their previous game and 4-0 in their last 4 against a team with a losing outright record. The Under is 7-1 in the last 8 meetings between these teams as well.

The Knicks are 7th in opponent points per game (112.2) and will find success against a beaten and bruised Wolves team that is playing on the road.

This is a very even matchup with major implications for both teams, as they both fight for a play-in tournament spot. The Timberwolves are a very solid away team whereas the Bulls have shown they can fail to take advantage of home court.

Against the spread

BET TIMBERWOLVES +2.5 (-105).

The Timberwolves are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 road games and 5-1 ATS in their last 6 after scoring 100+ in their previous game. The Bulls are 1-5-1 ATS in their last 7 games overall and 1-7 ATS in their last 8 games playing on 1 day of rest.

Over/Under

Boston Celtics at Minnesota Timberwolves odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Boston Celtics at Minnesota Timberwolves odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Boston Celtics (47-22) are on the road Wednesday night as they visit the Minnesota Timberwolves (35-34) at Target Center. Tip-off will be at 8 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Celtics vs. Timberwolves odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Celtics will look to bounce back from a loss to the lowly Houston Rockets on Monday, falling 111-109 on the road as 13-point favorites. It snapped their 2-game winning streak and dropped their record to just 5-5 in the last 10 games. They’re 4-6 ATS in their last 10 games, hitting a little bit of a lull following the All-Star break.

The Timberwolves snapped a 2-game losing streak on Monday with a resounding 136-115 win over the Atlanta Hawks as 4.5-point underdogs. They’re 6-4 ATS in their last 10 as they pushed their record back above .500. Minnesota is 7th in the Western Conference, 1 game back of the Los Angeles Clippers for the 6th seed.

Celtics at Timberwolves picks and predictions

Prediction

Celtics 115, Timberwolves 111

Moneyline

The Celtics fell flat against the Rockets on Monday night. It’s rare for them to have back-to-back performances like that one, but the absence of Williams against the T-wolves could be significant. At -210, I’m not willing to bet the juice on the Celtics to win outright on the road against a motivated Minnesota team in chase of a playoff berth, so I would PASS on the ML.

Against the spread

The Celtics are just 3-7 ATS when favored by 5-7 points. They’re also just 10-11-1 ATS following a loss compared to 26-21 after a win.

When the Timberwolves are getting between 5 and 7 points, they’re an impressive 6-3 ATS. If Gobert plays against this Celtics team without Williams, the Timberwolves could dominate the glass and end up winning this game outright.

BET TIMBERWOLVES +4.5 (+100).

Over/Under

It’s been tough to spot an Over/Under trend with either of these teams lately. The total has gone Under in 6 of the Timberwolves’ last 10 games and it’s an even 5-5 split in the Celtics’ last 10 contests. In their 1st meeting on Dec. 23 won by the Celtics 121-109, the Over 229 hit, but I don’t think the score will get there Wednesday.

BET UNDER 233.5 (-110).

76ers at Timberwolves picks and predictions

Prediction

76ers 115, Timberwolves 106

Moneyline

Philly has the 3rd-best record on no rest (6-3) and are 12-5 as an away favorite. As long as everyone plays, I like the 76ers. If Embiid and Harden don’t suit up then you should pass, either way you should wait for the 76ers lineup card which won’t come until later Tuesday afternoon.

LEAN 76ERS +115.

Against the spread

After a win, Minnesota covers just 45% of the time, 8th-worst in the league. Philadelphia has covered in 7 of their last 10 games on a back-to-back, again as long as everyone suits up. With the line so low there is value in taking the spread unless you want insurance. Play the 76ers moneyline instead.

PASS.

Over/Under

After some massive totals for both teams, I expect them to come back to earth Tuesday. The 76ers have hit the Under in 5 of their last 6 games on the 2nd of a back-to-back and Minnesota has hit the Under in 5 of their last 6 games.

Timberwolves at Kings picks and predictions

Prediction

Kings 118, Timberwolves 114

Moneyline

The Timberwolves are 13-18 on the road this season but have won 2 straight away from home and 5 of their last 8 road games overall.

The Kings are 19-12 at home and have won their last 3 at Golden 1 Center.

The home team has won 6 of the last 10 head-to-head matchups between these teams.

I lean toward Sacramento (-210) here, but you shouldn’t risk more than 2 times your potential return in what should be a close game.

PASS.

Against the spread

The Timberwolves are 14-17 ATS on the road and the Kings are only 15-15-1 ATS at home.

Minnesota has covered the spread in 2 straight games but is 5-5 ATS in its last 10.

The Kings are 6-4 ATS in their last 10 games. They had a 4-game streak of covering the spread snapped with an ATS loss Friday.

Both teams are 6-4 ATS when playing on no rest.

Expect a close game between two teams playing well as of late and playing on no rest.

BET TIMBERWOLVES +5.5 (-112).

Over/Under

The Over is 4-0 in the Kings’ last 4 games playing on no rest, 5-0 in their last 5 games following an ATS loss and 3-0-1 in their last 4 games following an outright win.

However, the Under is 5-0 in Minnesota’s last 5 games.

Their meetings in January finished with 227 and 229 points.

BET UNDER 237.5 (-112).
