| Grizzlies vs. Timberwolves prediction | Odds | Confidence |
|---|---|---|
| Timberwolves -8.5 | -105 (DraftKings) | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ |
| Julius Randle Over 22.5 points | -112 (FanDuel) | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ |
Timberwolves -8.5 (-105) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Despite not having Anthony Edwards (foot), the Timberwolves have covered in back-to-back games.
They covered as 10-point home favorites in a 14-point win over the Sacramento Kings on Sunday and upset the Warriors with a seven-point victory as 5-point underdogs on Friday. While Edwards is questionable today, even if he doesn’t play, the Timberwolves should win by nine or more.
Meanwhile, the Grizzlies are coming off an impressive win over the LA Clippers on Monday, but that came with Ja Morant in the lineup. He is doubtful today with an ankle injury.
Score prediction: Timberwolves 120, Grizzlies 105

Julius Randle Over 22.5 points (-112) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Julius Randle has cashed this prop in two straight games, including a 24-point performance against the Kings on Sunday.
The Timberwolves forward has scored 23 or more points in four of his six games in December while averaging 23.3 points this month. He’s attempting 15.5 shots per game over that span and getting to the free-throw line an average of 8.2 times per contest.
Even if Edwards returns today, Randle should still be able to cash this prop. It’s unclear whether Edwards will be on a minutes restriction or how aggressive he’ll be coming off a foot injury.
