Timberwolves Looking to Protect Home Court
Minnesota enters Wednesday night with a 33-22 overall record and has been excellent at home, posting an 18-10 record at Target Center. The Timberwolves have gone 2-3 over their last five games, picking up wins over Atlanta and Toronto, while dropping contests against the Clippers, Pelicans, and Grizzlies.

They shoot 48% from the field and move the ball effectively, averaging 26.5 assists per game. Minnesota also remains active defensively, contributing 5.7 blocks and 8.7 steals per game.

Portland Trail Blazers vs Minnesota Timberwolves Pick
Portland Trail Blazers vs Minnesota Timberwolves Spread Pick
- Minnesota Timberwolves -7.5 (-110)
I’m backing Minnesota to cover the spread here. The Timberwolves have been strong at home all season and hold a clear edge in offensive efficiency and defensive consistency. Portland’s defensive issues make it difficult to trust them to stay within the number against a team that can score at all three levels.
Portland Trail Blazers vs Minnesota Timberwolves Total Pick
- Over 235.5
I like the over in this matchup. From my perspective, both teams are capable of pushing the tempo, and neither defense has been particularly reliable at slowing down high-scoring opponents. With the amount of offensive firepower on the floor, this game has the potential to turn into a shootout.
Final Score Prediction: Minnesota 124, Portland 116
