Timberwolves at Pacers picks and predictionsPrediction

Timberwolves 115, Pacers 105

PASS.

Avoid this play. The Timberwolves (-650) should win with ease, but are far too expensive to consider here.

BET PACERS +12.5 (-110).

Indiana has been exceeding expectations over the last few weeks. Since March 18, it has been a double-digit underdog 5 times and is 4-1 ATS in those contests. It has covered in 5 straight at home.

The Timberwolves are just 2-3 ATS in their last 5 games and have scored more than 108 points in just one of those games. Without Edwards, they won’t score enough to cover here.

BET UNDER 229.5 (-110).

The Timberwolves are the side with something to play for and should make it their style of game. They have gone Under in 7 of their last 8 games and in 4 straight away contests.

The Pacers have scored 108 points in 2 straight games and have held opponents to 118 points or fewer in 3 of their last 5 games.
