Dallas Mavericks vs Minnesota Timberwolves: Current situation
Going into Wednesday’s game the Mavericks will be satisfied with how their season has gone so far. They are 4th in the West at 18-10, trailing the 2nd seeded Grizzlies by just a game and a half. What is also encouraging is the fact that the Mavs are 6-2 in 8 games when Luka Doncic doesn’t play this season. That just goes to show that he finally has enough quality around him for another deep playoff run.
The situation in Minnesota is far from ideal with the team being just 1 game above the .500 mark. Julius Randle and Donte DiVincenzo have fit in well after their offseason moves to Minny, however as a unit this team is lacking a presence defensively which they lost when they traded away Karl-Anthony Towns. After a 68% win pace last season, the T’Wolves are at just 51% this year, which puts them in the bottom part of the Western Conference.
Dallas Mavericks Stats & Form
Luka Doncic took the night off in the latest Mavs game, but it didn’t matter much as Dallas beat the LA Clippers 113-97. Quentin Grimes was the high point man with 20 off the bench, while 6 other Mavs players scored in double-digits. Kyrie Irving had a rough shooting game going just 6-for-25, perhaps he can make amends on Christmas Day where he has averaged 26.7 points per game in 6 games played so far.
Minnesota Timberwolves Stats & Form
After winning 6 of 7 games, the Timberwolves laid an egg in their last 2 games losing to the Knicks and Warriors by double-digits. Anthony Edwards was held in check in both of those games, he had just 19 in the loss to Golden State after a 6-for-20 effort from deep. Not only that, Ant Man also called out his teammates for not having an identity this season, with opponents getting whatever they want against them on the defensive end.
Dallas Mavericks vs Minnesota Timberwolves: Head-to-Head
The first meeting of the season between the two teams was marked by Kyrie Irving who exploded for 35 points and led the Mavs to a 120-114 win. Minnesota has won the last 2 regular season series, but Dallas holds the overall lead in the all-time head-to-head regular season wins total at 78 to 59.
Dallas Mavericks – Minnesota Timberwolves Odds
Going for a Mavericks home win gets you 8/15 odds, while if you fancy the Timberwolves odds of 8/5 are available.
The point total has been set at 226.5 points, with odds of 10/11 supporting either the over or the under.

Betting tip and prediction: Dallas Mavericks vs Minnesota Timberwolves (25.12.2024)
Playing on Christmas day is always a special feeling, so there is no doubt we will see the best of what both the Timberwolves and Mavericks have to offer. In 3 games played on this day, Luka Doncic is averaging 36.3 points, 6.3 rebounds and 10.3 assists, his Mavericks are 2-1 in those 3 games. His play this month has been exceptional, the Mavericks have lost just once in 6 games when he’s played. At 9-4 in home games they appear to be the more stable team going into this match-up, especially after we saw them beat the Clippers 113-97 last week. Dallas has been lethal with the three-ball lately, over their last 3 games they’re shooting almost 40% from distance against formidable opponents. Meanwhile, Minnesota comes into this game after losing back-to-back home games vs New York and Golden State which was a huge disappointment as they were on a solid run before those games. Once again the defense fell apart, the performance vs the Knicks was particularly alarming as they let in 133 points. Teams are just getting whatever they want against the T’Wolves right now and we just don’t like their chances here. Dallas won the first meeting 120-114 back in late October, look for the Mavericks to dominate this one as well.
