The Minnesota Timberwolves have stumbled as of late, but the Dallas Mavericks have played well enough of late that such an opponent is still a frustration.
My Timberwolves vs. Mavericks predictions take into account both Minnesota’s fatigue and likely lack of focus.

Timberwolves vs Mavericks Prediction
Timberwolves vs Mavericks Best Bet: Mavericks +6.5 (-110)
THE Minnesota Timberwolves are simply in a bad situation, on top of being in the middle of global struggles.
Minnesota lost five straight games before beating Golden State’s second unit on Monday night. Much of that could be forgotten if the Wolves beat the Thunder tomorrow, a worry they’re probably already considering.
Life is rarely as simple as a moment of anticipation, but facing a lottery team, it would be natural for Minnesota to think about Oklahoma City a day early.

That would be a mistake. It is rather will be an error.
THE Dallas Mavericks have gone 4-1 against the spread in their last five games, including two outright victories as an underdog. Frankly, there is logic to betting the Mavs moneyline tonight at +200 with bet365.
Parlay Timberwolves vs Mavericks in the same game
This Under is another nod to Minnesota ahead of tomorrow night, but Rudy Gobert hasn’t struggled too much during the Timberwolves’ slump, scoring a double-double in four of its last five games and in eight of its last 11.

Our “downtown” SGP: Reid between the lines
Naz Reid hasn’t scored as consistently recently, perhaps due to a troublesome shoulder. But he still produced, clearing that combo prop in his last four games and six of his last seven games, ignoring the one five-minute game that included that initial injury.
