๐ฐ Timberwolves vs. Grizzlies NBA preview & matchup analysis
There's not much to separate these two teams no matter how you spin it. One game stands between the 6-seed (Memphis) and 8-seed (Minnesota) in a tightly contested Western Conference. Further, while the Grizzlies have won both meetings against the Timberwolves this year, each victory has come by just two points.
The odds at our best sports betting sites confirm this theory, with different books favoring different teams by a slim margin. Regardless of where you look, you cannot find either team listed as more than a 1.5-point betting favorite.
While the Grizzlies' current form - winners of three straight - appears to favor the hosts, we're going with the contrarian choice and taking the Timberwolves, who have been better over their last 10 games.
Jaylen Wells, who has been a key contributor for Memphis all season, is out after suffering a scary injury against Charlotte. This is the first game the Grizzlies will play in without him this year, as the rookie has appeared in all 79 games to date. He chipped in with double-digit points when playing key roles in both wins over Minnesota.
Further, the experience nod goes to the Timberwolves. They've got a strong veteran presence throughout, and perhaps more importantly, a real coach. No disrespect to Tuomas Iisalo, he simply doesn't have the experience yet coaching in the pressure cooker that is the NBA playoff race.

๐ Our NEW NBA player prop odds tool can help you find the best NBA odds across legal sportsbooks in your area!
๐ฅ Rudy Gobert Under 12.5 rebounds โญโญโญโญโญ
Gobert has been a monster on the glass this season, per usual, averaging 10.8 rebounds per game. He's gone Over 12.5 at a 60% clip in his last 10, even pulling down 25 boards against the Pistons. This should make betting the Over easy, right? Not so fast.
Memphis has had Gobert in a pretzel in their two meetings. Zach Edey has been especially proficient in crashing the boards against the Timberwolves, which has led to Gobert struggling. The 32-year-old had just four rebounds in the previous matchups, so we're recommending the Under at five-star confidence.

๐ฅ Desmond Bane Over 19.5 points โญโญโญ
This is truly Schrodinger's player prop. Bane has been all over the place recently with his shooting performances. On one hand, he's cleared 20 points four times - including a 38-point outing - and on the other, he's scored 10 or fewer twice.
We're once again leaning on his past performances against this opponent when deciding how to play this prop. Bane cleared 20 points in each of January's meetings with Minnesota, so we're confident he can do so for a third time in this hugely important game.

๐ฅ Anthony Edwards Over 27.5 points โญโญโญ
Edwards is one of the most clutch players in the league. He has the sixth-most clutch points in the NBA this season, as he seemingly gets better as the lights get brighter. The 23-year-old has averaged 29.8 points per game over the last five, and he's gone Over 27.5 points at a 60% clip in that span.
The Georgia product had 32 points in the latest loss to Memphis, and we expect him to replicate that outing tonight. The Grizzlies' defense will take a hit with Wells sidelined; while NBA Defensive Player of the Year odds contender Jaren Jackson Jr. will still be on the floor, we don't believe it's enough to keep Edwards down.
