Mavericks vs Timberwolves Pickswise Expert Predictions

Point Spread Pick
MIN Timberwolves -13.0(-110)

The Dallas Mavericks enter tonight’s matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves in a severely depleted state, with injuries stripping them of the core depth needed to stay competitive for a full 48 minutes. Kyrie Irving is out for a significant part of the season, and the frontcourt remains a major concern: Anthony Davis is battling an adductor strain, Daniel Gafford is nursing a knee sprain, and Dereck Lively II is still sidelined with an ankle stress fracture. With so many key pieces missing, Dallas has been forced to rely on an overloaded rotation that struggles to defend the paint, generate consistent offense, and keep pace with more complete teams. The talent gap widens late in games, where the Mavericks frequently run out of answers on both ends of the floor for a team that is just led by minimal vets and rookie Cooper Flagg.

Minnesota, meanwhile, enters with momentum and stability, led by Anthony Edwards’ all around dominance and Rudy Gobert’s defensive presence. The Wolves have been excellent at controlling tempo and punishing undermanned opponents, recently covering large spreads against Western Conference teams (-11.5 vs. Sacramento and -15.5 vs. Utah), showing they have no issue taking care of business in these spots. Their depth, physicality, and ability to sustain pressure make them a difficult matchup for a Mavericks team that simply can’t match their size or athleticism right now. Given the injuries, roster imbalance, and Minnesota’s strong form, this shapes up as another game where the Wolves can take control early and maintain it throughout.
