Timberwolves vs Grizzlies Prediction
The current betting odds have the Grizzlies listed as a 1 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Grizzlies have looked good in their games this season with their 47-32 record overall which has them in the top half of the West and right on the cusp of a true playoff spot. They have also looked really good on their home court this year with their 25-14 home record. Meanwhile, the Timberwolves have looked good in their games this season with their 46-33 record overall, but that record has them right in the middle of the West and in a play-in spot. They have been a good road team too with their 23-17 road record this season. The Timberwolves have looked good lately as they are 6-4 in their last 10 games, but they are coming off a loss to the Bucks in their last one and blew a big lead in that game. The Grizzlies haven't looked as good lately as they are only 4-6 in their last 10 games, but now they are starting to build some momentum again with 3 wins in a row now. The Grizzlies fired their head coach last week in what was a really strange decision considering they are going to be competing for the playoffs, but it has worked out so far as they have pulled themselves out of a big slump and are starting to turn the corner. This is a big game for them too since they are right on top of the Timberwolves in the standings, but they are also tied with the Warriors who are in a playoff spot and it is a really tight race for those last few true playoff spots. The Grizzlies have looked a lot better lately and they want to avoid the play-in tournament in the West so look for them to bring their best effort at home as they are catching the Timberwolves at a time when they have lost some of their recent momentum. The best way to place a bet here is on the Grizzlies to cover the spread in this game.
