Minnesota Timberwolves vs Memphis Grizzlies Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 01/31/26

The Minnesota Timberwolves snapped a 5-game losing skid last week and have now won 3 consecutive games, including a 12-point win over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Thursday. They now hit the road with 2 games in Memphis and a game north of the border in Toronto. On Saturday, the Timberwolves are slated as 8-point favorites against a Grizzlies team that has dropped each of their last 5 games and are just 2-6 ATS across their last 8 games. This is also a difficult spot for Memphis as it’s the second leg of a back-to-back after playing the Pelicans in New Orleans last night.

Considering the bad travel spot for Memphis and the Timberwolves coming off a significant win over the defending champs, let’s lay the points with Minnesota. The Grizzlies will also be without Ja Morant, who has been sidelined since January 21 with an elbow injury. So the Grizzlies are on short rest and are shorthanded against a Timberwolves squad who have seemingly turned the page after that 5-game losing streak. It’s also worth noting that Memphis has lost each of their last 3 games by at least 8 points, so even though laying 8 points makes me a little weary, the Grizzlies have not kept games within reach of late.
