The Minnesota Timberwolves and the Dallas Mavericks collide at the American Airlines Center on Monday night.

The Minnesota Timberwolves have been in fine form as they’ve won six of their last 10 games overall and they will be hoping to bounce back after getting run over by the Grizzlies in a 128-107 road loss on Friday. Jaylen Nowell led the team with 21 points on nine of 16 shooting off the bench, Anthony Edwards added 17 points with five assists while Kyle Anderson chipped in with 12 points. As a team, the Timberwolves shot 46 percent from the field and 15 of 37 from the 3-point line as they struggled to keep up with the Grizzlies from the start and were always stuck in quicksand after allowing the Grizzlies to pour in 38 points in the second quarter.

Meanwhile, the Dallas Mavericks have been in fine form as they’ve won five of their last seven games overall, but they will be hoping to bounce back after falling short to the Kings in a 133-128 overtime road loss on Saturday. Kyrie Irving led the team with 28 points, seven rebounds and seven assists, Luka Doncic added 27 points with nine rebounds and five assists while Josh Green chipped in with 23 points on eight of 12 shooting. As a team, the Mavericks shot 51 percent from the field and 20 of 51 from the 3-point line as they rallied back from a 13-point deficit to extend the game, only to come up just short in overtime where they allowed the Kings to pour in 19 points.

Looking at the betting trends, the Timberwolves are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games against a team with a winning record and 17-35-2 ATS in their last 53 games playing on two days rest. The Mavericks are 6-1 ATS in their last seven games against a team with a winning record and 5-1 ATS in their last six games overall.

Head to head, the under is 4-0 in the last four meetings overall and the Timberwolves are 1-4 ATS in the last five meetings in Dallas.

The Timberwolves don’t have a single player listed on the injury report, while the Mavericks have ruled out Maxi Kleber and Davis Bertans again and they are keeping an eye on Tim Hardaway Jr who is questionable with a hamstring injury. The Mavericks weren’t able to get it done against the Kings on Saturday, but they will only get better with every game that Doncic and Irving play together, but the Timberwolves were on a nice run before they lost to the Grizzlies and they have been the more settled team overall. I expect the Mavericks to get the win at home, but I think the line is just big enough to take the Timberwolves in this spot.
