Streaking Wolves Ready for Grizzlies Battle
Grizzlies vs Timberwolves Betting
The Minnesota Timberwolves are one of the best teams in the NBA, and they welcome the struggling Memphis Grizzlies.
Grizzlies vs Timberwolves betting has the Wolves at -12.5, which is a fair line given their respective form.
Anthony Edwards has entered the NBA MVP race, and he could be enough to see the Wolves cover the spread.
Grizzlies vs Timberwolves 
Location: Target Center
Day/Time:
Grizzlies Struggling on Offense
Not having Ja Morant or Desmond Bane is killing the Grizzlies’ offense, which has been average lately.
They lost 101-95 to the Los Angeles Clippers before scoring just 86 points against the Nets, and that form isn’t going to inspire anyone.
“I just think it was a lack of energy,” Lamar Stevens said. “It’s kind of disappointing because that’s something you can control. I think night in and night out that’s something we should focus on, controlling what we can control.”
NBA betting lines are finding it tough to respect them, and although they did well to defeat the Rockets and a big upset win over the Bucks, there isn’t enough consistency in this team.
Grizzlies vs Timberwolves betting has the Grizzlies at +12.5, which is a big enough line to consider. However, in the three previous meetings against the Timberwolves, they would be 0-3 with a +12.5 line.
The closest loss was a 118-103 loss in Minnesota last month. It’s not a good sign when a 15-point loss is your best effort against one team, so bettors will need to take the Grizzlies on trust this Wednesday.
They are 16-13 ATS on the road, so it’s not all negative. However, times will be tough over the next few months.
Repelling the Criticism
Whenever the Timberwolves are playing well, many believe it’s only a matter of time before they disappoint.
It might come in the playoffs, which is likely given their history, but they’re playing well enough in the regular season to repel the critics.
They are at the top of the NBA leaderboard for the Western Conference after winning four of their last five games. Their defense has been excellent, including limiting the likes of the Nets and Blazers to less than 92 points.
The Grizzlies are already struggling to score points, let alone facing one of the premier defenses in the NBA.
Having posted wins of 22, 24, and 15 points against the Grizzlies, bettors get a value line with Grizzlies vs Timberwolves betting odds.
Edwards is averaging 26.3 points per game, which is complemented by excellent play from Karl-Anthony Towns and Rudy Robert. They are a well-constructed team, and it’s tough to bet against them.
Having the experience of Mike Conley is another bonus. They should be proud of their achievement so far, and boasting a 20-6 home record is hard to look past.
Home Cooking for Wolves
We expect the Timberwolves to be far too good for the Grizzlies at Target Center.
They are the much better team, as their record suggests, and they are 15-11 ATS at home, which is tough to overlook.
Boasting better offense and far superior defense, the Wolves should account for the visitors and cruise home to cover the -12.5 spread.
We also fancy Edwards to score over 26.5 points. He has been in dynamic form this year, and he’s a great prop bet.
The sportsbook has a low total of 216.5 points, and because of the struggling Grizzlies offense, we’re including the under in our NBA picks. It’s one of the lower lines we have seen this week, but it’s with good reason.
The Wolves won 101-86 against the Nets earlier this week, which followed a 219-point affair with the Bucks, and given how bad Memphis is, there should be less points.
