Timberwolves at Grizzlies picks and predictionsPrediction
Timberwolves 123, Grizzlies 110
There’s no play here as the Wolves are massive favorites despite their 2 stars being questionable. Memphis is too short-handed, even if JJJ suits up, to consider at +225 as the Grizz are 9-15 at home.
Instead, we’ll go with NAZ REID OVER 2.5 THREES (-140). Over his last 4 games, he’s 6-for-10, 4-for-8, 3-for-10 and 3-for-7 from downtown. So, if Randle does sit out, this has even more upside.
Take TIMBERWOLVES -7.5 (-110). It’s a lot of points to lay, but Memphis is just 2-8 straight up and 3-7 ATS the last 10.
We’ll go OVER 229.5 (-115). This total hit Saturday, and Memphis is 6-4 O/U in its last 10 with Minnesota cashing Overs in 2 straight.
