Timberwolves vs. Grizzlies Predictions, Odds and Best Bets For Wednesday, December 17

Akash

The Timberwolves have found their stride after a shaky start, climbing to 17‑9 and winning seven of their last eight. Even without Anthony Edwards, they looked sharp in a 117‑103 victory over Sacramento, with Julius Randle posting a double‑double and Jaden McDaniels adding 21 points.

Naz Reid and Donte DiVincenzo continue to provide strong support, while Edwards remains the centerpiece, averaging 28.6 points and shooting 42% from three. Memphis sits at 12‑14, dealing with internal tension and Ja Morant’s uneven return. Jaren Jackson Jr. has stepped up as the true leader, highlighted by his 31‑point performance against the Clippers.

Recommended Bet and Updated Odds

Anthony Edwards 25+ Points-215-180

Analysis and Rationale

Anthony Edwards’ 25+ points prop looks strong when matched against the data you provided. He’s averaging 28.6 points per game, with excellent efficiency from deep (42% on over 8 attempts per game). Even in games where Minnesota has leaned on secondary scorers like Julius Randle or Jaden McDaniels, Edwards remains the clear focal point of the offense.

Against Memphis, his volume and consistency make 25+ points very attainable. The odds show the difference in value, FanDuel -215 is more expensive, while BetMGM -180 offers better return for the same line. Given his scoring average and role, the over is a realistic angle, though risk factors include his health status and whether Memphis’ defense keys heavily on him.

Timberwolves vs. Grizzlies Prediction

The Timberwolves enter this matchup in strong form, sitting at 17‑9 and riding a surge with seven wins in their last eight. Even without Anthony Edwards, they showed depth in a convincing win over Sacramento, with Julius Randle, Jaden McDaniels, Naz Reid, and Donte DiVincenzo all stepping up. Edwards remains the centerpiece, averaging 28.6 points and shooting 42% from three, giving Minnesota a balanced threat on both ends.

Memphis, at 12‑14, faces internal tension and Ja Morant’s uneven, injury‑hampered return. Jaren Jackson Jr. has emerged as their true leader, highlighted by his 31‑point performance against the Clippers.

Prediction: Minnesota’s two‑way efficiency and Edwards’ scoring edge give the Timberwolves the upper hand, while Memphis’ reliance on Jackson and uncertainty around Morant make them vulnerable.
