Timberwolves vs Warriors Betting Pick

The Pick: Timberwolves PK

This game will be played at 8:00 PM EST at the Target Center on March 1, 2022.

Why bet the Timberwolves:

✅ Injuries are a key issue for the Golden State Warriors right now. They are without Andre Iguodala and Draymond Green, while Klay Thompson is out with an illness. Losing three high-level defenders at the same time does not bode well for the Warriors against an explosive Minnesota team.

✅ Golden State is by no means a bad road team, but they are not nearly as effective away from Chase Center. The team is at the .500 mark against the spread during road games this season, which will not cut it against a hungry Timberwolves team on Tuesday night.

✅ Minnesota is incredibly healthy for a team playing in March. They have one injury on their injury report ,with that being McKinley Wright, who is not a significant member of their squad. Expect the Timberwolves to take full advantage of their health against the banged up Warriors here.

points in the game. For a hypothetical example, we will use a total set at 228 points. Over/Under wagers on this Timberwolves vs Warriors contest would be betting over or under 228 combined points for the two teams.

There are multiple factors that go into Over/Under wagering, including pace (expected possessions per game), offensive efficiency and defensive efficiency. Knowing which teams play faster and slower, and which teams play with a higher and lower level of efficiency at each end of the floor.

Warriors vs Timberwolves Moneyline Predictions

Money Line wagering on NBA is a fun way to bet on one team or the other, while taking the point spread out of play.

Instead of laying or taking the points on the spread, you can lay odds on the favorite or take odds on the underdog to simply win the game outright. If you are looking to wager on a game, for instance the Warriors vs Timberwolves Money Line predictions. But if you want to avoid the point spread, a Money Line wager is worth considering.

For an example of how a Money Line wager differs from an against the spread wager, we will use our Warriors -8.5 hypothetical example from above. Instead of the standard -110 odds on an against the spread play, the Warriors can be bet on to simply win outright while laying odds. The Timberwolves can be bet on to win the game outright while getting odds.

In our hypothetical, we would expect to have to lay about -375 on the Warriors and expect to get about +295 on the Timberwolves.

With the Warriors having an edge on the all time series and additonally in the more recent matchups, the history points to the Warriors side, but that is just one piece of the puzzle. There are hours of research required for successful NBA predictions, and we are here to provide that for you, with a conclusion summed up and bottom lined.
