🎯 Timberwolves vs. Lakers score prediction: Lakers 110, Timberwolves 107
With both teams entering Thursday’s matchup with some momentum, I predict the Lakers will beat the Timberwolves by a final score of Los Angeles 110, Minnesota 107. That means there is value in the Timberwolves’ spread, moneyline odds, and the Under.

💰 Best Timberwolves vs. Lakers player prop bet odds & expert picks: Feb. 27
Here are my best Timberwolves vs. Lakers player prop bet odds and expert picks for tonight's NBA matchup. You can also check out our NBA player prop odds tool for the latest NBA odds at the best legal sportsbooks in your region.
🏀 Best Luka Doncic prop pick: Over 8.5 rebounds ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Best odds: -125 via DraftKings ($10 to win $8)
The Lakers are surviving with one quality center in their rotation because they have size everywhere else. Doncic and LeBron James are particularly excellent rebounders for their positions.
Doncic has collected double-digit rebounds in three straight games since his minutes restriction was lifted, averaging 12 boards since the break. On Tuesday, he nearly cashed this Over in the first quarter against his former team.
I project 10 rebounds for Doncic, providing value on this Over and his double-double odds (-130) at the same shop.

🏀 Best Naz Reid prop pick: Double-double ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Best odds: +120 via bet365 ($10 to win $12)
With Gobert still sidelined, Minnesota’s Naz Reid should thrive in a matchup against a team without much center depth. Reid has been playing well lately, recording a double-double in four of his past five games.
Reid is averaging 20.3 points and 9.1 rebounds per game this month. That makes his rebounds prop (8.5) tempting, but I’d prefer to target the plus-money odds on his double-double price instead.
This line is as low as +105 at our best sportsbooks.

🏀 Best Austin Reaves prop pick: Under 4.5 rebounds ⭐⭐⭐
Best odds: -160 via bet365 ($10 to win $6.25)
Austin Reaves hasn’t cleared 4.5 rebounds since Doncic’s minutes restriction was lifted, as he’s been asked to focus on moving in transition instead. Reaves has recorded 10 rebounds in four games since the All-Star break.
Reaves can do the dirty work if needed, but he’s still only averaging 4.3 rebounds per game this season. This line is as high as -175 for the Under, so there is value in taking this price at bet365.
