The Mavericks will play the Timberwolves for the fourth and final time Monday night. At the time of writing, Anthony Edwards is questionable to make his return for Minnesota after missing the better part of two weeks. The Mavericks have not been able to hold their own with the Timberwolves thus far, but as we always say, it\u2019s hard to blow out a team four times.<\/p>\n
Before getting into our picks, here is how we stand this season:<\/p>\n
It is time to finish the season strong.<\/p>\n
Fixture: Dallas Mavericks vs Minnesota Timberwolves | NBA 2025-2026<\/p>\n
Date and Time: Monday, March 30th, 2026; 7:40 PM CST<\/p>\n
Venue: American Airlines Center, Dallas, TX.<\/p>\n
Spread Mavericks +7.5 (-105)<\/p>\n
Total O\/U 235.5 (-112\/-108)<\/p>\n
The Mavs and Wolves have faced off three times this season. All three times, the games have gone under this total. What\u2019s changed? Under. This is likely to be Anthony Edwards\u2019 first game back from injury, so I expect perhaps a limited performance. Next up, Julius Randle always cooks this team, as most former DFW players do. Lastly, the wolves have been known to not take the dregs very seriously. I\u2019ll take the Mavs to jump them early by winning the race to 10 points.<\/p>\n
The Mavericks have not covered this line against Minnesota this season. That will change tonight. Marshall has been excellent for Dallas lately and has a great matchup against Julius Randle or Naz Reid. DiVincenzo and Thompson both will have plenty of open looks and I expect both of them to knock a lot of their shots down.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Mavericks will play the Timberwolves for the fourth and final time Monday night.
