Prediction
Timberwolves 110, Pacers 109
Moneyline (ML)
The TIMBERWOLVES (+125) are slight home underdogs Wednesday as they host the Pacers (-149). While the T-Wolves have won just five of their last 20 games, they have the size inside that could give Indiana trouble. Considering the odds, I like the Timberwolves to win outright Wednesday night.
New to sports betting? A $10 bet on Minnesota to win returns a profit of $12.50.
Line/Against the Spread (ATS)
The TIMBERWOLVES (+2.5, -106) are getting 2 points of insurance in the event of a loss. While it appears the Pacers (-2.5, -115) should be bigger favorites, Minnesota could prove to be a tough matchup due to their size and rebounding ability. Neither team has an elite offense, so expect this to be a slugfest decided by free-throw shooting. Give me the Timberwolves and the points in this contest.
Over/Under (O/U)
The total for this matchup is set at 216.5 points, which feels a tad low. While neither team has a potent offense, Minnesota’s defense is one of the worst in the NBA. Over the last four games, the Wolves have allowed an average of 119 points per game. Expect the T-Wolves to give up nearly 110 points in this contest, which should allow the OVER 216.5 (-125) to hit.
