Best Bets for Washington Wizards vs Minnesota Timberwolves <\/h2>

Best Bet: Timberwolves -10 (-110<\/a>)<\/strong>
Book: Best price at FanDuel <\/p>

Our best bet for Wizards vs Timberwolves is Timberwolves -10 (-110<\/a>) against the spread. <\/p>

The Minnesota Timberwolves maintain a favorable 10-7 record on road, and maintain one of the top offenses.<\/a> Overall, they allow their rivals to score 114.6 points, while maintaining the ninth-best offensive rating as well as the eighth-best defensive rating in the league. On the other hand, the Washington Wizards maintain one of the worst offenses and defenses in the league. In fact, they don’t even have been able to dominate the home court. They have been struggling against stronger teams. <\/p>

The spread at 10 feels easy for the Wolves’ balanced squad against a weaker Wizards side. The Timberwolves cover well in these matchups. <\/p>

Given Minnesota’s form, defense and Washington’s issues, we are laying the 10 points and expect the guests to cover the number tonight. <\/p>

Same-Game Parlay Picks for Washington Wizards vs Minnesota Timberwolves <\/h2>

3-Leg SGP (Safer)<\/p>

Leg 1: Minnesota Timberwolves -12.5 alternate spread
Leg 2: Anthony Edwards Over 30.5 Points
Leg 3: Julius Randle Over 21.5 Points <\/p>

Combined odds: +709<\/a><\/strong><\/p>

We have built this same-game parlay around the Minnesota Timberwolves winning comfortably on the road. Anthony Edwards leads the Wolves in scoring and shines against weaker defenses. Julius Randle is a high usage player, who scores well. <\/p>

These legs co-relate, considering if the Timberwolves control the game, Edwards would thrash the Wizards with scoring and Randle will contribute to his team’s overall total. This is our safer SGP option. <\/p>
