Memphis Grizzlies vs Minnesota Timberwolves Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 12/17/25

The Memphis Grizzlies visit the Minnesota Timberwolves tonight with questions marks over the availability of both teams’ superstars. Both Ja Morant and Anthony Edwards appear on the injury report as questionable to play. Even with their stars on the floor, both teams have seen 3 of their last 4 games come in under the 230-point mark. If either does not take to the floor here, it could really cap the scoring potential of their teams. The visitors tonight will also be without the services of Zach Edey, who is by far their best post scorer. Without him, the Grizzlies lose one of the most efficient tools in their offensive arsenal.

This game should not be played at a crazy tempo tonight. Over the last 10 games they have ranked just 17th and 19th in pace, respectively. During that stretch of games, they are both in the top 10 in fewest fast break points given up to opponents. This all points to this being a half court battle. If Morant and Edwards are not available, both could have issues breaking down their opponents in half court sets. During those 10 games the Timberwolves have also been the 4th best team in defending the 3-point line, allowing opponents to shoot just 33.4% from the perimeter. If they have success limiting the Grizzlies in this category, it’s hard to see the game going over the 230-point mark.
