Timberwolves vs Raptors Picks and Predictions: No Ant Could Spell ... (Covers.com)

NBA odds, picks, and predictions for the Minnesota Timberwolves at Toronto Raptors on March 18. NBA betting best bet and free pick analysis.

Expect VanVleet and Siakam to pile on the points late and likely send this game over the total. VanVleet takes on a T-Wolves defense that allows the fourth-most points per game to point guards (26 ppg), and he leads his club in points per game in March through seven outings (19.4). The T-Wolves’ potential tiredness could translate to some lackluster defense, especially as this game goes on. Siakam draws a fairly easy matchup too, as Minnesota surrenders the eighth-most points per game to power forwards (22.9). A lot of their starters played extended minutes after losing to Chicago in double overtime last night. The Raps look like a better bet to clear their team total of 116.5 tonight. Again, the Timberwolves could really use another outstanding effort from McDaniels on offense. However, laying nearly 10 points in this spot is a tough ask for any team. Edwards had led his team in scoring in five straight games prior to Friday, notching no fewer than 27 points in that span. The huge point spread oddsmakers have hung on this contest implies that the Raptors will be facing a shorthanded squad. 6 seed in the Western Conference. Unfortunately, they may be doing so without their best player in Anthony Edwards.
