Timberwolves at Lakers picks and predictions

Prediction

Lakers 115, Timberwolves 106

Moneyline

BET LAKERS (-105).

Los Angeles showed the depth it added at the trade deadline with double-digit scoring performances from G Malik Beasley (11 points) and C Mo Bamba (12) vs. Oklahoma City last time out. While James being out for at least 3 weeks will hurt the Lakers’ postseason chances, Los Angeles will still be motivated to prove it has enough pieces to make a playoff push.

Add revenge as motivation and a well-rested Davis in the lineup, and the Lakers should have no problem beating a Timberwolves team that went the entire month of February without winning back-to-back games.

Against the spread

PASS.

The Lakers +1.5 (-115) should hit, but there is no need to take the points when Los Angeles should win straight up. Bet the moneyline and/or total instead.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 227.5 (-108).

The Under is 4-0 in Minnesota’s last 4 games and 4-1 in Los Angeles’ last 5 at home. The Under has hit in 5 straight meetings between these teams and should cash again Friday with James and Russell not in the lineup.

Timberwolves at Clippers picks and predictions

Prediction

Timberwolves 122, Clippers 118

Moneyline

The Clippers have lost 2 in a row, 2 home games in a row and 4 of their last 5 games at Crypto.com Arena. They are allowing 132.0 points per game in their last 5 contests.

The Timberwolves, although 11-18 on the road this season, are 3-3 in their last 6 road games, alternating wins and losses, with their last road game a loss. If they crack the 120-point mark, they are hard to beat, having won 4 of their last 5 games scoring at least 120 points.

If you want to go for a big payout, this game is worth it. BET TIMBERWOLVES (+200).

Against the spread

Minnesota is 12-17 ATS on the road this season, while L.A. is 13-16 ATS at home. The Timberwolves have failed to cover the spread in their last 3 games and have not gone longer than 3 games this season without covering it.

The Clippers are 5-5 ATS in their last 10 games and are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 Tuesday games.

If you aren’t quite as confident in the Timberwolves winning outright, go ahead and lean on them to cover at least, as they have not lost to the spread in 4 consecutive games yet this season.

BET TIMBERWOLVES +6.5 (-112).

Over/Under

The Over is 4-0 in the Clippers’ last 4 games and LA has allowed 132.0 points per game in the last 5 games.

The Over is 4-1 in the Timberwolves’ last 5 games road games and in their last 5 road games against teams with a winning home record.

PASS.

The Warriors (-140) should win, but there is no need to buy the points when Golden State should win by multiple possessions. Bet the spread and/or total instead.

Against the spread

BET WARRIORS -2.5 (-108).

Timberwolves at Mavericks picks and predictions

Prediction

Mavericks 117, Timberwolves 107

Moneyline

PASS.

The Mavericks (-260) should win, but there is no need to risk more than 2 1/2 times your potential profit on the moneyline when Dallas should win by margin. Bet the spread and/or total instead.

Against the spread

BET MAVERICKS -6.5 (-110).

The Mavericks have performed above expectations since acquiring Irving. Dallas won its first 2 games straight up as an underdog after the trade and should be able to bounce back after a tough overtime loss at the Kings in Irving’s first game with G Luka Doncic. Dallas is 5-1 ATS in its last 5 games and should be able to win by margin vs. a Timberwolves team that is just 6-10 ATS as an away underdog.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 232.5 (-110).

The Under is 4-1-1 in Minnesota’s last 6 games after failing to cover in its previous contest and 6-2-1 in the Timberwolves’ last 9 after allowing more than 125 points. The Under has hit in Dallas’ last 4 games vs. teams with a winning record and is 4-1 in the Mavericks’ last 5 after failing to cover in their previous contest.

Timberwolves at Grizzlies picks and predictions

Prediction

Grizzlies 123, Timberwolves 114

Moneyline

PASS.

The Grizzlies have more star power with Wolves G D’Angelo Russell out in Minnesota. However, at (-270), they aren’t worth a play on the moneyline.

Against the spread

BET GRIZZLIES -6.5 (-115).

The home team has covered every game between these teams through the first 3 matchups this season. Memphis did far less at the trade deadline and should have comradery on its side.

Memphis is also 16-10-1 ATS at home as well. Minnesota is just 11-15 ATS on the road this season. The Wolves have also alternated covering and not over their last 7 and are primed to fail to cover.

Ultimately, back GRIZZLIES -6.5 (-115).

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 234.5 (-110).

The Timberwolves and Grizzlies both like to run, ranking 4th and 5th respectively in pace. They are going to push the tempo of this game, which should result in more points on the board.

The Wolves are 3-0-1 O/U in their last 4 while Memphis is 1-2 O/U in its last 3. Minnesota is 14-12 O/U on the road as well.

Combine it all and back the OVER 234.5 (-110).

Timberwolves at Jazz picks and predictions

Prediction

Jazz 117, Timberwolves 114

Moneyline

The JAZZ (-160) is a decent moderate favorite to play on the moneyline if you do not want to fool around with laying the points. This should be an ultra-close game, perhaps coming down to the final possession. Just pick a winner, and it should be the Jazz protecting its home court in a tight battle.

Against the spread

TIMBERWOLVES +3.5 (-108) is worth a look, as Minnesota is 5-0-1 ATS in the last 6 trips to Salt Lake City.

The T-wolves are 8-3 ATS in the last 11 games overall, while cashing at a 4-1 ATS clip in the last 5 when working on no rest.

Over/Under

UNDER 232.5 (-110) is the lean, but go with a half-unit play at best.

The Under is 5-2-1 in the last 8 games overall for the Timberwolves, while going 4-1 in the last 5 outings when playing on no rest. The Under is also 6-2 in the previous 8 meetings in Salt Lake City.

For the Jazz, the Under has cashed in 5 of the last 7 games at home, while going 5-2 in the last 7 outings after a double-digit loss at Vivint Smart Home Arena.

Timberwolves at Nuggets picks and predictions

Prediction

Nuggets 122, Timberwolves 103

Moneyline

PASS.

The Nuggets (-400) should win, but there is no need to risk 4 times your potential profit on the moneyline when Denver should win by margin. Bet the spread and/or total instead.

Against the spread

BET NUGGETS -9.5 (-115).

The Nuggets are a great bounce-back team and are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games after failing to cover in their previous contest. Denver will have motivation to run up the score Tuesday since Minnesota did the same thing in their most-recent meeting Sunday. The Timberwolves should struggle to keep it close now that the Nuggets are rolling out a healthy starting lineup.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 234.5 (-112).

The Under is 5-0 in Minnesota’s last 5 games after scoring more than 125 points in its previous contest and 3-0-1 in the Timberwolves’ last 4 vs. teams with a winning percentage above .600. The Under has hit in Minnesota’s last 5 games after winning its previous contest by more than 10 points and is 4-1 in Denver’s last 5 after losing by more than 10 points.

Nuggets at Timberwolves picks and predictions

Prediction

Timberwolves 118, Nuggets 114

Moneyline

PASS.

The Wolves have won both games outright and are 19-12 straight up at home while Denver is 12-12 on the road. Avoid this and look to the spread for value.

Against the spread

LEAN TIMBERWOLVES -2.5 (-115).

This line seems like Vegas is begging you to take Denver. The Nuggets haven’t been great on the road this season and are on the second night of a back-to-back. They are also 0-2 ATS against Minnesota and 0-1 straight up on the road against the Wolves. Denver is 10-14 ATS as the road team while Minnesota is 16-15 ATS at home.

The Wolves are also 7-4 ATS with a rest advantage this season which will be the case here. Their size with Gobert in the paint and F Jaden McDaniels on the perimeter should be able to limit the league’s most efficient offense.

Overall, back the TIMBERWOLVES -2.5 (-115).

Over/Under

BET UNDER 233.5 (-115).

The Wolves have gone Under their projected total in 5 of their last 6 games. There has only been 1 game in their last 8 that they or their opponent has topped 120. Their defense has been a key reason why, ranking 8th in opponents’ field goal percentage (46.6%). The Wolves are also 13-18 O/U at home this season.

The Nuggets are 5-5 O/U in their last 10 but could have tired legs and slow the pace. They already rank 20th in pace and, on the second night of a back-to-back, could slow it further.

Ultimately, take the UNDER 233.5 (-115).
