Tonight, the Brooklyn Nets will travel to Minnesota for a showdown against the Timberwolves in a matchup between two teams currently in playoff position.
The Timberwolves are coming off a home loss to the Philadelphia 76ers. In their last 10 games, they have won five and lost five. Having won 20 of 35 games at home this season, the Timberwolves have played well on their home court. Anthony Edwards has been their top scorer this season, averaging 24 points per game. Coming into this game, they’ve had three full days of rest to prepare.
The Nets are also looking to get a win tonight, having lost just last night to the Milwaukee Bucks. They were able to close the gap in the fourth quarter, but ultimately fell short. Brooklyn coming into tonight’s game on the second night of a back-to-back certainly doesn’t help their chances at an upset.
With less than 20 games left in the regular season for these teams, there is still a lot that can happen with where they currently rank. If there has ever been a must-win scenario during the regular season, this is it. If Minnesota can get a win tonight, they could end up jumping up into sixth place.
Similarly, the Nets need to get back into winning form, even though they are playing their fourth game in six nights. They currently sit 2.5 games ahead of the seventh place team in the Eastern Conference. So, a win tonight could be important to create even more separation further solidifying their place in the standings.
With an overall healthy team, home court advantage and days of rest leading up to this game, it’s hard to see the Timberwolves losing this one. The Nets are making a name for themselves as the team that never goes down easy, but they simply lack the superstar talent after trading away Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving.
You can take the Timberwolves against the 4.5-point spread with odds of -110, but we’re sticking with the money line as the best bet from our Nets vs. Timberwolves predictions. That’s because DraftKings Sportsbook has an incredible sign-up bonus to help us win big, so let’s get into how that works.

That means an $11 bet on Minnesota profits $10 if they win by at least five points, while an $11 bet on Brooklyn nets $10 of winnings if they lose by four points or fewer or win the game outright.
The total (over/under) is listed at 234.5 points with -110 odds on either side. While those are the other basic markets, remember, you can stick with the money line for your chance at $150 in bonus bets when you create a new DraftKings account today.
