Timberwolves Back on Track
The Timberwolves didn’t look good when losing to the Dallas Mavericks, but they rebounded with a quality win over the Orlando Magic on Tuesday.
They improved to 26-10, which is a much better record than we thought they would have at the start of the season.
It was a much-needed win against the Magic after dropping three of their previous four games. However, bettors haven’t been able to cash in as they are only 18-18 against the spread.
Today’s NBA scores could see them move above .500, but beating the Celtics at TD Garden is easier said than done. No team has done it, but to cash the betting spread, they only need to stay within 6.5 points.
It’s a healthy start for a quality team, but playing consecutive games is a worry. Fatigue could play its part, so although the Timberwolves vs Celtics NBA action will be great, the visitors could get tired late.
Home Advantage Works
Having a winning record at home is always one way to make the playoffs, and the Celtics are well on their way.
They are 28-8 overall, which is a great record, and being unbeaten at home gives their fans plenty to cheer about.
Their first loss at TD Garden is inevitable, but it would take a big performance from the Timberwolves to dethrone the NBA title favorites.
NBA stats have the Celtics ranked highly in all major categories, and they’re one of the best shooting teams in the league.
Packed with depth, including Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, they don’t have many negatives. Tatum missed the recent 133-131 loss to the Pacers, but credit the Celtics for hanging in there.
They are 18-16-2 ATS and 11-6 ATS at home. It’s a decent record for a team that is typically favored by a margin.
By all accounts, Tatum will play against the Timberwolves, and he’s needed if they’re to cover the spread. Beating the Wolves by at least seven points is hard, but if the Celtics start well, they won’t look back.
No Luck Needed for Irish
The Celtics don’t rely on luck to win their games, so our NBA predictions have them covering the spread.
We’re not worried by the loss to Indiana without Tatum as they defeated the Pacers 118-101 when Tatum was on the floor.
Our only concern is their 114-109 overtime loss to the Timberwolves in November. However, that came on the road and it was two months.
A lot of water has gone under the bridge since and the Celtics haven’t done much wrong since.
Take the Celtics to get off to a fast start and cruise to victory, covering the betting spread.
Timberwolves Celtics NBA action also include total betting. The line is 224.5, and we expect the over to cash.
Boston has been scoring points at will, and although the Timberwolves aren’t a high scoring team, they’re good enough to score around 110 points.
That should be enough for the over to cash.
