The Memphis Grizzlies (18‑29) are desperate to halt a six‑game losing streak as they welcome the Minnesota Timberwolves (31‑19) to FedExForum on Monday, February 2, 2026. Tip‑off is set for 7:30 p.m. ET, with coverage on Peacock and FDSNX.
Minnesota enters as a solid 7.5‑point favorite, riding a strong stretch of play where they’ve covered in four straight games. Memphis, meanwhile, has failed to cover in its last three outings and continues to battle injuries to key contributors like Ja Morant and Jaren Jackson Jr.
The over/under is set at 228.5 points, a number both teams have consistently flirted with this season. Minnesota’s offense, led by Anthony Edwards and Julius Randle, averages 119.3 points per game, while Memphis counters with Jaren Jackson Jr. and a supporting cast that has struggled to find consistency.
With the Timberwolves winning 27 of 38 games as favorites this season, and the Grizzlies managing just seven wins in 30 games as underdogs, this matchup sets the stage for a compelling clash between a surging contender and a struggling squad.
Best Bet: Grizzlies +7.5 (-110) at DraftKings
While Minnesota has been strong as a favorite, Memphis offers value as a home underdog in this spot. The Grizzlies have averaged 114.6 points per game, nearly identical to the Timberwolves’ defensive allowance of 114.1.
Memphis is 13‑10 ATS when scoring more than 114 points, and their ability to keep games close at home makes the +7.5 spread appealing. Minnesota has a 10‑13 ATS record when favored by 7.5 points or more, showing vulnerability in covering larger spreads.
Additionally, the Timberwolves’ average margin of victory narrows on the road, where they hit the over more often but don’t dominate ATS. Memphis has been better ATS away than at home, but their home scoring trends (52% of games going over) suggest they can push Minnesota offensively.
With Jaren Jackson Jr. questionable, the Grizzlies may lean on depth, but their desperation to snap a losing streak combined with Minnesota’s inconsistency in covering big numbers makes Memphis +7.5 the sharper play.
Combined Odds: +265
This parlay ties together a game script where Edwards continues his scoring dominance, Jackson contributes if active, and Memphis keeps the game within reach. The correlation lies in Memphis covering while Edwards still gets his numbers, reflecting a competitive contest.
Combined Odds: +720
This longshot builds around Minnesota’s stars stepping up. Randle’s scoring and Reid’s perimeter shooting complement Edwards, creating a scenario where the Timberwolves win but Memphis still pushes them to rely on multiple contributors.
