Timberwolves at Grizzlies picks and predictions

Prediction

Timberwolves 116, Grizzlies 104

Moneyline

PASS.

The Grizzlies are down too many key players to back. Similarly, Minnesota is just too expensive.

Against the spread

BET TIMBERWOLVES -7 (-108).

Minnesota just has far more star power, and they should shine Sunday. The T-wolves have won 6 of their last 8 and have won 2 straight by 13-plus points. They are 8-7 ATS on the season.

The Grizzlies have been disappointing so far this year and are 5-10 ATS. They were blown out in their last 2 games, losing by 21 to the Suns and 20 to the Houston Rockets.

Considering the trends and player availability, back TIMBERWOLVES -7 (-108).

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 217 (-110).

The Wolves are 9-6 O/U this season and have scored at least 110 in 5 straight games. They have gone Over in 4 of their last 5 and have allowed 120 or more in 3 of their last 5.

The Wolves rank 19th in pace while Memphis is 20th, so neither play at an ultra-slow pace. This total is low, even for a Grizzlies game. They are 2-3 O/U in their last 5 and have scored 105 or more in 4 of their last 7.

Take OVER 217 (-110).
