The final week of the NBA season usually sees some unexpected results. As the Minnesota Timberwolves back into the playoffs, they are ripe candidates to provide one of those results, especially as the Indiana Pacers play what may be their best basketball of the season.<\/p>\n

My Timberwolves vs. Pacers predictions and these NBA picks<\/a> refuse to put any faith in Minnesota on Tuesday, April 7.<\/p>\n

Timberwolves vs Pacers predictionTimberwolves vs Pacers best bet: Pacers +12.5 (-105)<\/p>\n

The Minnesota Timberwolves<\/a> have effectively boxed themselves into the No. 6 seed in the West. They would need to go 4-0 this week while the Rockets go 1-3 to catch Houston for the No. 5 seed. But there is a worrying scenario for Minnesota. It could fall into the Play-In Tournament yet.<\/p>\n

Every day that remains a possibility, anxiety will set in further for the Timberwolves. The organization already had to include two Play-In games amid the postseason ticket presale access for season-ticket holders. They are genuinely a loss or two away from having to answer questions about slipping into the Play-In Tournament.<\/p>\n

Recognizing that stressor is the only reason this is not a bet on the Indiana Pacers<\/a> to win outright. The Pacers have sprung three upsets as multi-bucket underdogs in the last two weeks, part of going 8-1 against the spread in their last nine.<\/p>\n

Indiana has secured its needed draft lottery positioning. The Pacers can play as competitively as able. And with the Timberwolves without both Anthony Edwards<\/a> and Jaden McDaniels<\/a>, they are quite vulnerable to upsets. Edwards and McDaniels are no less than two of Minnesota\u2019s three-best bucket getters, and many nights feel like they are the top two.<\/p>\n

Without them, fading the Timberwolves becomes nearly an automatic bet; only the worry of falling to seventh in the standings should prevent Minnesota from losing outright.<\/p>\n

Timberwolves vs Pacers same-game parlay<\/p>\n

The mere option to bet a Mike Conley points prop is a surprise. He hit no more than one field goal in 12 of his last 16 games. Bench players like that do not usually warrant spots on the props board. But Conley is not a bench player right now. He has started his last five games, though only four of those were genuine. But in his last two games, Conely has hit 7-of-12 shots from deep, scoring 14 and 11 points. He may be finding a form that could actually contribute in the postseason.<\/p>\n

Minnesota hopes Naz Reid finds that form soon. A nagging shoulder injury has clearly cut into his efficiency. Reid has cleared this prop just once in his last 10 games.<\/p>\n

Mike Conley Over 5.5 points<\/p>\n

Naz Reid Under 14.5 points<\/p>\n

Our “from downtown” SGP: Perhaps Pacers<\/p>\n

One of the best ways for Minnesota to avoid an upset is to have Reid hit multiple 3-pointers. Given he is 1-of-10 from beyond the arc in his last two games and has hit multiple 3-pointers in just three of his last 17 games, it is valid to wonder if Indiana might spring this surprise.<\/p>\n

Timberwolves vs Pacers SGP<\/p>\n

Naz Reid Under 14.5 Points<\/p>\n

Timberwolves vs Pacers odds<\/p>\n

Spread: Timberwolves -12.5 | Pacers +12.5<\/p>\n

Moneyline: Timberwolves -800 | Pacers +550<\/p>\n

Over\/Under: Over 232.5 | Under 232.5<\/p>\n
