With the regular season winding down, Anthony Edwards and the Timberwolves look to regroup after a costly stumble, snapping a four-game winning streak with a recent loss. They couldn’t ask for a more favorable matchup to reset than a home stand against the reeling Brooklyn Nets. Even if Drew Timme delivers, the Wolves’ depth and playoff incentive—it’s still jockeying for seeding—makes a massive Brooklyn upset hard to envision. That said, at +1100, the payout is enormous, though the likelihood is faint. Minnesota on the moneyline is the safer play, but considering its low return and their recent vulnerability, this pick earns a C+ for value—solid but not thrilling.

With Anthony Edwards eager to snap Minnesota’s one-game skid and reassert the Pack’s home dominance, this matchup serves as a crucial tune-up before the postseason. The 47-win Timberwolves, already locked into the playoff race, have little incentive to push the tempo against a banged-up Brooklyn squad that's just playing out the season. The Nets may be coming off a rare victory, but they’re still without key scorer Cam Thomas due to a lingering ankle injury and will lean heavily on an inconsistent Keon Johnson, who has averaged just 15 points over his last five contests. Facing a top-5 NBA defense, Brooklyn’s point production will likely falter. Historically, Rudy Gobert has been a nightmare for the Nets’ interior offense, which doesn’t bode well for a team with limited outside shooting threats. With fatigue setting in as both teams near the end of the regular season, look for Minnesota to control the pace and keep it low-scoring. Not much value at -110, but given the Timberwolves’ defensive chops and the Nets’ injury woes, the Under leans solid. Odds and availability are subject to change.

The Timberwolves are trending toward the playoffs despite dropping their most recent contest and currently cling to a top-4 seed in the West. But with Anthony Edwards nursing a sore ankle and listed as questionable, and Rudy Gobert battling through a nagging hip injury, Minnesota may not be at full strength against a Brooklyn squad with nothing to lose. The Nets, led by Cam Thomas and Drew Timme, snapped a brutal losing stretch with a solid effort in their last outing. While Brooklyn has no postseason future at 26-53, their youth-laden core continues to play with purpose, showing more cohesion under interim coach Kevin Ollie. Historically, Bridges has had success in matchups against the T-Wolves’ half-court defense, and with Brooklyn often finding ways to hang around late even in losses, a +19 cushion looks appealing in a game where Minnesota may prioritize rest over margin. Combine that with the Wolves’ inconsistencies against big spreads and this pick earns a B- — not a home-run bet, but one with decent backdoor upside and low risk.
