Timberwolves vs. Nets Picks
Spread Pick for Timberwolves vs. Nets
- Timberwolves -9 (5 units)
The Timberwolves won both meetings between the teams last season, straight up and against the spread. Their average win margin in those meetings was 20.5 points per game. Being able to pick up a win in their last game, without the help of Edwards, was a key step for the team to stay on top of things in their star’s absence over the next week-plus. Randle has relished his role as the go-to guy, and opponents haven’t been able to do much to slow him. Minnesota has had the upper hand in the rebound department much of this season, but this is another area where they can get an advantage as well. Brooklyn is allowing teams to grab 42.8 rebounds against them, so the TWolves should stack the box. Minnesota is 6-4 SU and 7-3 ATS in their last ten games against the Nets.
Take the Timberwolves.
Over/Under Pick for Timberwolves vs. Nets
- Under 230 (5 units)
Last season, the teams combined to average just 201.5 points per game in their two meetings. Coming into this meeting, both offenses rank in the bottom third of the league in terms of points per game this season, and both are shooting under 49% from the field. Both teams are also in the bottom third of the league in pace, per DunksandThrees.com. Minnesota ranks 22nd, averaging 99.8 possessions per 48 minutes and Brooklyn is 25th, averaging 98.6 possessions per 48 minutes. Minnesota is basically leaning on Randle for the bulk of their offense and Brooklyn doesn’t have much in the name of scoring after Thomas and Porter. The under is 8-2 in the last ten games between the two teams.
Take the under.
