Magic vs Timberwolves

Can the pack maintain their winning howl?

Orlando Magic

Magic (30-36) @ Timberwolves (38-29)

Mar 14, 2025 | 8:00 PM ET | Target Center

Minnesota Timberwolves
Moneyline Pick: Minnesota Timberwolves (-550) - A

Anthony Edwards and a confident Minnesota squad ride a three-game winning surge into this contest, while the Magic have struggled with back-to-back defeats. Despite Paolo Banchero’s growing offensive spark, Orlando remains hampered by Jonathan Isaac’s ongoing absence, which thins their interior defense. Historically, the Timberwolves have fared well against Eastern Conference visitors on their home floor, and that trend provides further confidence in Minnesota’s ability to secure another victory. With a lower payout but a high probability of success, this prediction earns an A rating.

Over/Under Pick: Under 208.5, (-110) - B
Franz Wagner and the Orlando Magic (30-36) look to snap their two-game skid against the surging Minnesota Timberwolves (38-29), who ride a three-game win streak into this meeting, although nagging injuries to a key big man in Minnesota’s rotation may affect their inside presence. As per team updates, Orlando is also monitoring a starting guard’s status, potentially limiting their perimeter scoring punch and bench depth. Historically, these franchises have produced defensive battles in inter-conference clashes, with recent matchups often stalling below the projected total. Combining these elements, the recommendation leans Under 208.5 at -110 odds, graded a solid B for its moderate likelihood of success and decent payout potential if it hits.
Spread Pick: Orlando Magic, +10.5 (-115) - B+
Anthony Edwards comes into this contest riding a strong three-game winning streak with the rest of the Timberwolves, but Orlando’s recent two-loss skid has mostly been caused by lingering injuries to Markelle Fultz, who remains questionable for this matchup. Historically, the Magic have struggled in Minnesota, dropping four of their last five visits to the Target Center, yet their depth often keeps them in games when they’re healthy, and Paolo Banchero’s versatile scoring consistently gives Orlando a fighting chance. With a favorable (+10.5) spread, the Magic offer respectable value, and this pick earns a B+ due to its decent odds of success and the moderate payout it could yield.
