The Timberwolves are on a four-game winning streak and have covered the spread in all four of these games. Minnesota’s last outing was actually against the depleted Mavericks, which they won 111-105.

During this stretch, Minnesota has seen their scoring output increase, averaging 115.3 PPG while on this winning streak. The Timberwolves average 108.8 PPG on the season.
The Mavericks average just 104.4 PPG on the season which has dropped to 101.9 in the eight games without Luka Doncic. The Mavs also have a 2-6 record when the All-Star hasn’t played.
Because of the low-scoring output expected from Dallas, NBA betting fans may not want to lean in on taking the Over to hit again in this outing. However, looking at the Timberwolves to outright win or cover the spread is entirely more likely as Dallas deals with injuries.
