The Wizards will look to snap a six-game skid when the Timberwolves visit Capital One Arena tonight. Minnesota swept the 2023-24 season series after seven straight head-to-head wins by Washington.
My Timberwolves vs. Wizards predictions expect Anthony Edwards to take advantage of a favorable matchup on the road. Read my NBA picks to see why you should take the Over on Edwards’ combo prop.
Timberwolves vs Wizards prediction
My best bet
Anthony Edwards Over 37.5 points + rebounds + assists (-120 at bet365)
My analysis
Anthony Edwards is averaging 25.4 points, 5.7 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game this season, good for 34.6 PRAs. He’s been more productive on the road, averaging 36.8 PRAs away from Target Center compared to just 33.5 at home.
Across his last seven, Ant-Man has averaged 27.6 points, 4.7 rebounds and 5.9 assists, good for 38.2 PRAs. Edwards is on a roll, and he gets a tremendous matchup tonight.
This season, the Washington Wizards have allowed the most points, the most rebounds, and the fourth-most assists in basketball. The Wiz have been particularly generous to opposing SGs. Over the last seven games, Washington has allowed 38.4 PRAs to that position, including the second-most points and fourth-most rebounds.
Edwards put up some monster numbers in his last four games against Washington, delivering PRA totals of 64, 46, 42, and 39. That includes two 30-point games and a 51-point eruption.
Edwards is on a heater and gets a favorable road matchup with a team he’s torched in recent matchups. This is an easy Over.
Timberwolves vs Wizards same-game parlay
Anthony Edwards Over 37.5 points + rebounds + assists
Under 224.5
Timberwolves -13.5
The Minnesota Timberwolves are 9-11 O/U on the road and 6-9 O/U as the road favorite. Minnesota has allowed the fourth-fewest points per game at 107.7.
The Wizards rank 24th in points per game at just 108.4, and the Wolves rank 22nd at 109.3. Neither team is explosive on offense, and given Minnesota’s strong defense, I’m expecting a low-scoring game.
The Wolves and Wizards have both been terrible ATS this season, but I’m backing the visiting team. Minnesota is far more talented and, as mentioned above, I expect its defense to hold Washington in check tonight.
Washington is 8-12 ATS at home, while Minnesota is 11-9 ATS on the road. Washington has been a double-digit dog in 21 games this season, and the Wiz have covered in only seven of them.
