Minnesota Timberwolves vs Washington Wizards Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 01/04/26

The Minnesota Timberwolves will travel to take on the Washington Wizards on Sunday. The Timberwolves have a record of 22-13, and they are 10-7 on the road this season. Minnesota has won two of their last three games, with their last win coming Saturday afternoon against the Miami Heat 125-115. Anthony Edwards led the team with 33 points and 5 assists, while Naz Reid contributed 29 points in the victory. The Wizards have a record of 9-24 this season, and they are 5-11 on their home court. Washington has won four of their last five games, including their 119-99 win over the Brooklyn Nets last Friday night. Justin Champagnie led the team in scoring with 20 points, and Alex Sarr added 19 points and 5 rebounds. 

This will be the second time this season these two teams have faced off against one another. The Timberwolves defeated the Wizards 120-109 back on November 9th. Since the defeat, the Wizards have found a bit of a spark and are playing better basketball. Center Alex Sarr has been the player that has mainly stepped up for the Wizards. In his second year in the NBA, he is averaging 17.7 points and 8 rebounds per game. Sarr draws a tough matchup tonight against the four time defensive player of the year, Rudy Gobert. Another improvement for Washington has been their depth. In the Wizards last ten games, Justin Champagnie has averaged 9.8 points and Bub Carrington has averaged 13.1 points. Both totals are well above these players’ season averages. Unfortunately for Washington, Minnesota also boasts a deep bench that is led by Naz Reid. Reid has averaged 16.5 points in his last ten games. While the Wizards have been hot in their last five games, the Timberwolves have shown consistency all season long. I believe the Timberwolves have the pieces to slow down the Wizards tonight.

Timberwolves -9.5 is available at the time of publishing. Playable at that number.
