Timberwolves vs. Grizzlies Prediction, Odds & How to Watch – Saturday, January 31

The Minnesota Timberwolves (30‑19) head to Memphis to face the Grizzlies (18‑28) at FedExForum on Saturday, January 31, 2026. Minnesota enters as a 7.5‑point favorite, riding a three‑game ATS winning streak, while Memphis looks to halt a three‑game home losing skid.

The over/under is set at 229.5 points, a number both teams have hovered around in recent weeks. Minnesota has been dominant offensively, averaging 119 points per game, while Memphis has struggled to keep pace, scoring 114.6 per contest.

Anthony Edwards continues to shine for the Timberwolves, while Jaren Jackson Jr. leads the Grizzlies’ attack. Despite Minnesota’s strong record as favorites (26‑11), Memphis has shown resilience at home, covering in 50% of their games. With playoff positioning looming, this matchup offers bettors a compelling mix of star power, recent trends, and contrasting team trajectories.

Best Bet for Timberwolves vs. Grizzlies

Best Bet: Grizzlies +7.5 (-110) at DraftKings

Minnesota has been favored by 7.5 points or more 22 times this season but has gone just 9‑13 ATS in those contests, showing vulnerability in covering larger spreads. Memphis, meanwhile, has covered twice in nine games as underdogs of 7.5 or more, and they enter this matchup with a slight edge from their lone head‑to‑head win over Minnesota earlier this season.

The Timberwolves average 119 points per game, only 2.7 more than the Grizzlies allow, while Memphis scores 114.6 points per game, nearly matching Minnesota’s defensive allowance of 114.1. With Jaren Jackson Jr. and Santi Aldama providing scoring balance, Memphis has the tools to keep this game close.

Minnesota’s road ATS record (11‑13) also suggests potential value in backing the Grizzlies at home. While the Timberwolves may win outright, the Grizzlies +7.5 feels like the sharper play, especially given Minnesota’s inconsistency in covering larger spreads.

Same‑Game Parlay Picks

3‑Leg SGP (Safer)

Grizzlies +7.5
Anthony Edwards 25+ points
Jaren Jackson Jr. 15+ points

Combined Odds: +265

This parlay ties together the stars on both sides. Edwards has been Minnesota’s offensive engine, while Jackson Jr. anchors Memphis’ scoring. If both hit their marks, Memphis covering becomes more likely, as the Grizzlies’ home crowd could help them stay competitive.

Longshot SGP

Grizzlies +7.5
Rudy Gobert 12+ rebounds
Santi Aldama 2+ made threes

Combined Odds: +720

This longshot builds on a game script where Gobert dominates the glass and Aldama stretches the floor with perimeter shooting. If both deliver, Memphis covering the spread becomes even more probable.
