Timberwolves Tipped for Road Win vs Cavs
Timberwolves vs Cavaliers Odds
The Minnesota Timberwolves have been a great bet on the road, and they look to continue their good run.
The Timberwolves vs Cavaliers odds have the visitors at -1, and the Cavs could struggle with their injury problems.
The sportsbook expects a close contest between the playoff-bound teams.
Timberwolves vs Cavaliers 
Date, time:
Life Without Towns
The Timberwolves are without Karl-Anthony Towns until April, so the NBA starting lineups will change.
Despite the loss, they play the Cavaliers who are without two of their best players, so there’s no advantage or disadvantage.
Minnesota looked good beating Portland earlier this week. The 119-114 victory didn’t come against a tough team, but we have been impressed by the play from Anthony Edwards, who is consistently improving.
Having Edwards on the floor is a massive bonus, and he’s able to create a scoring play from nothing. The Cavaliers don’t have that player at the moment with Donovan Mitchell out of action, which could give the visitors the edge.
We thought Timberwolves vs Cavaliers odds would have Minnesota at around -3.5. It’s the better team, and it has been playing some of its best basketball away from home.
The line could change on game day, so it’s best to grab it at -1.
No Consistency for the Cavs
Things looked good for the Cavaliers when beating the Boston Celtics 105-104 without Mitchell, but they came back down to earth against the Hawks.
Their NBA playoff standings could come under threat if they fail to perform with Mitchell out, and losing 112-101 to the Hawks isn’t what bettors want to see.
However, the Cavaliers schedule includes plenty of home games, and they are 21-11 at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse.
It’s tough to overlook their home record, but they also have Evan Mobley out of action, so they’re missing their best player and their best interior defender.
That should make it much easier for the Timberwolves to score, so the Cavaliers defense will need to muscle up and play with heart.
Being only a half-game behind Milwaukee in Central standings should spur them on. They need to perform over the next few weeks, otherwise, they’ll lose contact with the Bucks.
Timberwolves vs Cavaliers odds are giving the home side just one point, which might not be enough.
Value with the Timberwolves
We’re picking the Timberwolves to cover the -1 spread and improve their impressive road record.
Despite not having Towns on the floor, which is a big loss, the Cavaliers are in a worse position without Mitchell and Mobley.
Getting a -1 line is too good to pass up, and we expect a big scoring effort from Edwards, who could score over 30 points without much fuss on Friday.
He’s a good NBA prop bet to lock in. Take the over with Edwards’ points, and include him in your picks.
We’re also including the over 210. Because of the injuries, the sportsbook has a low line, but they have shown an ability to put plenty of points on the board.
