This Minnesota Timberwolves era started with a frustrating first-round loss to the Memphis Grizzlies, hinting at a budding rivalry.

Instead, Memphis has reshaped its roster, leaving Minnesota as a two-touchdown favorite tonight.

My Grizzlies vs. Timberwolves predictions expect Minnesota to excel at the rim, a conscious roster-building decision sparked by that playoff loss four years ago.

Grizzlies vs Timberwolves prediction

Grizzlies vs Timberwolves best bet: Rudy Gobert Over 11.5 points (-112)

Rudy Gobert continues to thrive on the boards for the Minnesota Timberwolves, averaging 15.7 rebounds in his last three games.

And more often than not, Gobert's rebounding leads to putback opportunities.

Against an undermanned and undersized Memphis Grizzlies’ lineup, the Timberwolves should feed Gobert early and often.

Grizzlies vs Timberwolves same-game parlay

Gobert has grabbed at least 13 rebounds in each of his last four games, and against such a depleted Grizzlies’ front line, more of the same should be anticipated. 

Meanwhile, not much should be expected from the 7-foot Santi Aldama in his first game since Feb. 4.

Our "from downtown" SGP: Shooting Into Consistency

Jaden McDaniels’s shooting from deep has yo-yo’ed a bit lately, but he has still shot 44.3% from beyond the arc this season.

A looming blowout should be an opportunity for him to put up four or five 3-pointers to regain his rhythm.
