Mavericks vs Timberwolves Over/Under Pick – Over 221½
The sport betting totals line is low because the Mavericks are without their best scorers, including Doncic. However, that doesn’t mean the Mavericks can’t put points on the board.
NBA defenses are generally terrible, and although the Timberwolves’ defense is solid, we expect it to be a high scoring contest.
The Mavericks scored 131 points against the Magic in their most recent game, and the bench players could step up in the absence of Doncic and Irving.
Mavericks vs Timberwolves ATS Pick – Mavericks +14
We see this NBA betting situation a lot, where a depleted team is automatically a double-digit underdog.
However, despite being short-handed, the Mavericks are good enough to keep it close against the Timberwolves.
Our NBA score predictions today have it being a 118-110 game, and it’s not a farfetched idea to expect the Mavericks to measure up.
It’s a great time for the secondary players to step up and impress the coach, so take the generous line available.
Mavericks vs Timberwolves Player Prop Pick – Tim Hardaway Jr. Over 24.5 Points (-104)
Tim Hardaway Jr won’t get a better chance to put plenty of points on the board for the Mavericks.
He averages 18.4 points per game, but should be the key to their offense without the stars on the floor.
He’s a streaky shooter, but he’s good from the 3-point line, which is key against the Timberwolves, who have a lot of size in the paint.
He could have around 15 points by halftime, and he’s good enough put his foot down and cover the number in the second half.
