Boston Celtics vs Minnesota Timberwolves

Minnesota’s home-heavy core of Anthony Edwards, Julius Randle, and Rudy Gobert gets a nice spot here against a Celtics group still missing Jayson Tatum and leaning on Jaylen Brown and Derrick White to carry a big usage load on the road. With the Timberwolves 5-3 at Target Center but trying to snap a three-game skid, their fully healthy rotation should matter against a Boston frontcourt that’s thin if Neemias Queta can’t go and has already had to steal wins with small-ball lineups. Randle has consistently punished Boston in recent seasons while Edwards is in a major scoring groove, and over 48 minutes the Wolves’ size and depth give them the higher floor, even if the -278 price limits the value.

Boston’s smaller, switchy lineups without Tatum have been playing faster and more perimeter-oriented, and they now face a Minnesota team averaging around 121 points over its last 10 while also giving up plenty of transition chances when their offense stalls. The Celtics come in on a two-game win streak with improved offensive flow behind Brown, White, and Anfernee Simons, while the Wolves’ Edwards-led attack has been piling up high-usage, high-scoring nights and Randle has historically produced big lines against Boston’s front line. With both teams recently living in the high teens in made threes and neither defense quite as airtight as last spring, this sets up as a game where extended runs, late-game fouling, and star shot-making can push the total past 228, though early blowout risk keeps this at a B- rather than higher.

Jaylen Brown’s history of big nights against Minnesota, combined with Boston’s recent 7-3 stretch and current two-game win streak, makes +6.5 attractive against a Wolves team that’s dropped three straight and has struggled to close tight games. Even without Tatum, Brown and White give the Celtics enough on-ball creation and pull-up shooting to attack Gobert in space, and Boston’s heavy three-point volume can quickly chew into any deficit, particularly if Minnesota’s offense hits one of its familiar cold patches. Randle’s strong track record versus Boston and Minnesota’s size edge are real concerns, but with the Celtics’ backcourt in rhythm and the Wolves’ recent form wobbly, this number feels a bit rich for the home favorite, giving the underdog spread a solid balance of cover probability and price.
