Why the Timberwolves Could Cover the Spread/Win
The Minnesota Timberwolves have been hot as of late, winning each of their last three consecutive games by double-digits. Their only two losses over this 10-game stretch have each come by two points, so it’s safe to say the Timberwolves are hitting their mid-season stride at the perfect time. Anthony Edwards is literally putting the team on his back with 90 points over his last two starts. While he sat last game out, Jaden McDaniels stepped up with a game-high 30 points and led his team to another win.

McDaniels notched a career-high 30 points just a few days after games with 22 and 23-point totals. Edwards has often been quoted saying Jaden McDaniels is the X-factor of this team, so expect them to continue feeding him the ball and trying to get him going early into games. He’s shooting a solid 46.9% from the field and has increased his aggressiveness around the hoop, so they’ll need him to do much of the same against the Cavaliers.
Why the Cavaliers Could Cover the Spread/Win
The Cleveland Cavaliers continue to roll as the East’s best team after winning six of their last seven. They’re taking care of teams they need to like the Pistons and Wizards, but they’re also establishing their dominance over better teams like the Mavericks and Hawks. Donovan Mitchell and Evan Mobley are both playing at an All-Star level and no team has had answers for the front court pairing of Mobley and Jarrett Allen. Look for them to continue having a noticeable impact in the paint against a Timberwolves’ team that allows production in the interior for opponents.

Not only has Evan Mobley been a great defensive presence for the Cavaliers, but he’s really taken a massive leap forward in terms of his scoring. He’s evolved his game around the rim and he’s a much more capable ball-handler than he has been in the past. Darius Garland is also carrying this team with his clutch shooting down the stretch, indicative of his most recent buzzer-beater against the Detroit Pistons. Expect his three-point shooting to continue being a huge factor in Cleveland’s continued success for the rest of the season.
Final Timberwolves-Cavaliers Prediction & Pick
This should be a great matchup between two teams playing very well at the moment. Both squads have been hot over the last two games and both sides have multiple players that can carry them with their scoring efforts. Donovan Mitchell managed a game-high 36 points last time he face the Minnesota defense, so expect him to be aggressive once again in finding his shots. We’re still awaiting to see if Anthony Edwards will return to action for this one, but his involvement will be crucial in Minnesota competing during this one as he’s averaging 28 points against the Cavs.
I think the main difference in this game will be Cleveland’s production from the interior and their ability to shut opposing big men down on their own floor. They’re 24-4 at home this season and they’ve gone 18-10 ATS in those games. For our final prediction, let’s roll with the Cavaliers to earn the season sweep over the Timberwolves with a win here.
Final Timberwolves-Cavaliers Prediction & Pick: Cleveland Cavaliers -8 (-112)
