Best Bet for Minnesota Timberwolves vs Dallas Mavericks

Best Bet: Minnesota Timberwolves -12 (-110)

Book: Best price at FanDuel

Our best bet for Minnesota Timberwolves vs Dallas Mavericks is Timberwolves -12 (-110) against the spread.

The Minnesota Timberwolves have been playing good basketball this season. Dominating homecourt with a 19-10 record, the Wolves are 8th among 30 teams in terms of offensive rating. Their defensive rating, on the other hand, has seeded them the 7th spot. On the other hand, the Mavericks are struggling with one of the worst offenses in the league. However, their defense is quite decent, and they are seeded 13th in that aspect.

The spread at Timberwolves -12 fits the hosts well considering their overall form and the Mavericks’ woeful run. The T’Wolves cover well in such spots.

Keeping their elite offense and defense in mind as well as considering their homecourt advantage along with current form, we are comfortably laying Minnesota Timberwolves -12 (-110) as our best bet.

Same-Game Parlay Picks for Minnesota Timberwolves vs Dallas Mavericks

3-Leg SGP (Safer)

Leg 1: Anthony Edwards Over 28.5 points
Leg 2: Julius Randle Over 20.5 points
Leg 3: Rudy Gobert Over 11.5 rebounds

Combined odds: +581

We have built this same-game parlay around the Minnesota Timberwolves to dominate their homecourt. Edwards is the leading Wolves scorer, who is expected to take charge for his team on Friday. Randle has been scoring well for the home team, and we see him shouldering offensive duties with Edwards. Rudy Gobert dominates the glass, and he is likely to do the same against the Mavericks on Friday.

If the Wolves take control of the court from the beginning, their players will get volume and they will end up with more scoring opportunities. Hence, this is our safer SGP option.

Cooper Flagg Over 22.5 points (-110)
Julius Randle Over 7.5 rebounds (-104)
