Groundhog Day feels like “Groundhog Day” for the Minnesota Timberwolves, who face a repeat opponent in the Memphis Grizzlies tonight.
Minnesota scored a 17-point road victory at Memphis on the weekend, with center Rudy Gobert falling just short of what would have been his 23rd double-double of the season.

Timberwolves vs Grizzlies prediction
Timberwolves vs Grizzlies best bet: Rudy Golbert to record a double-double (-110)
Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Golbert finished Saturday’s win over the Memphis Grizzlies with nine points and 16 rebounds, taking advantage of a depleted Grizzlies roster.
Memphis is missing several starters and key players, including leading rebounders Zach Edey, Santi Aldama, and possibly Jaren Jackson Jr. (questionable). With holes in the frontcourt, the Grizzlies’ rebound rate has tumbled during the team’s current six-game losing skid.

That depleted interior has also led to a spike in points in the paint from those opponents, with Memphis going from an average of just 48.6 PITP allowed to 53.3 points against in the key over the last six contests.
Gobert’s offense is somewhat limited to putbacks off rebounds and easy looks at the hoop. He leads the Wolves in offensive rebounds as well as second-chance points and picks up 8.8 of his average 10.8 points per game in the paint. Gobert’s contributions could see a spike given the questionable designations of stars Anthony Edwards and Julius Randle.
Gobert recorded nine of his 22 double-doubles over his 14 games in January and just missed No. 23 by one point on Saturday (9 points, 16 rebounds).
Player projections for Monday’s return meeting in Memphis have Gobert’s offensive output north of 11 points with a ceiling of 12.3 while his rebound forecast calls for double figures and a high of 12 boards.

Timberwolves vs Grizzlies same-game parlay
The Timberwolves are picking up steam with four straight wins and ATS victories, including Saturday’s 17-point win at Memphis.
The Grizzlies are missing so many key players and so could the Timberwolves (Anthony Edwards, Julius Randle). I don’t see Minnesota shooting better than 50% from the floor in this return matchup.

Our game projections call for a 118-109 Timberwolves win, which would cover the spread and stay below the total. Cam Spencer will put in a better effort for the thin Grizzlies after scoring just five points on the weekend.
