Minnesota Timberwolves vs Memphis Grizzlies: Current situation
The Timberwolves are once again on one of their signature runs having won 3 games in a row, all because of their stellar defense. They just held the Orlando Magic and New Orleans Pelicans to 89 and 97 points, looking like the team they were for most of the 2023-24 season when they were able to go all the way to the Western Conference Finals. Combined with the stellar defense, Anthony Edwards has also stepped up offensively, he is averaging 34.3 points per game in the month of January.
After a tight home loss to the Houston Rockets, the Memphis Grizzlies remain 3rd in the Western Conference standings. The start of the year has not been kind to Ja Morant and co. as they have just 1 win in 4 games. However, this team still remains one of the most profitable bets in the NBA, having covered the spread 24 times in 38 games so far. Most of their wins have come at home though, on the road they’re just 9-9 SU in 18 games played.
Minnesota Timberwolves Stats & Form
Julius Randle and Anthony Edwards each had 23 and 21 points in the dominant win over Orlando on Thursday. It wasn’t the prettiest of games to watch as both teams were defensively oriented, but in the end Minnesota won the rebounding battle and forced the Magic into 14 turnovers. That type of effort will get you a long way in the NBA, but we’ve seen this movie before by the T’Wolves. Memphis will be a huge test for us to see if they’re ready to make the next step as a team.
Memphis Grizzlies Stats & Form
Memphis was never known as an elite defensive team and their last 3 games prove just that. Opponents have averaged 114.7 points in those games, ranking the Grizzlies in the bottom 10 of the NBA. One of the reasons why this team is 9-9 on the road is their 119.1 points allowed per game in away games, only 4 teams have a worse record than that. In their last 2 visits to Target Center they’ve allowed 127 and 119 points.
Minnesota Timberwolves vs Memphis Grizzlies: Head-to-Head
This match-up was dominated by Minnesota last year as they swiftly won all 4 games by an average of 17.5 points per win. Even in games at Target Center it has been all Minnesota with 5 wins in the last 6 meetings. Saturday’s game will be the 110th regular season meeting between the two teams, Minnesota has won 57 while the Grizzlies are 52 wins so far.
Minnesota Timberwolves – Memphis Grizzlies Odds
Going with Anthony Edwards and Minnesota to win a 4th game in a row here gets you 4/5 odds. If you like Memphis to pull off the upset, then odds of 6/5 are available.
The point total has been set at 219.5 points, with odds of 10/11 supporting either the over or the under.

Betting tip and prediction: Minnesota Timberwolves vs Memphis Grizzlies (11.01.2025)
Apart from Marcus Smart missing, both teams are relatively healthy which only adds to the intrigue of this game. Minnesota is currently on a dominant run in head-to-head meetings and we feel like that run could very well be extended in Saturday’s game. One of the reasons is the poor play on the boards by the Memphis Grizzlies, they allow 53.3 rebounds per game this season which ranks only 23rd in the NBA. We just saw the Houston Rockets crash the glass against them and collect 66 rebounds. With the likes of Rudy Gobert and Julius Randle on their team, the Timberwolves are in a solid position to win the rebounding battle here. Ja Morant and Anthony Edwards are likely to cancel each other out on offense, but due to his stellar scoring form we would give a light edge to Ant Man in this game. The perimeter defense of the Grizzlies has been non-existent over the past 3 games with opponents connecting on 43.4% of their shots from downtown. That’s bad news when you’re facing the 5th most efficient team from three-point land this season – Minnesota is making 37.7% of their shots, with that number going up to 38.8% in home games. All in all, the Timberwolves are just the more in-form team right now and we recommend backing them to win and cover here.
