Washington Wizards Betting Preview
The Washington Wizards have been ice-cold to start the season as they’ve lost 12 of their first 13 games and they will be hoping to snap an 11-game losing streak after getting thrashed by the slumping Nets in a 129-106 loss on Sunday. Kyshawn George led the team with 29 points, six rebounds, and five assists on nine of 16 shooting. CJ McCollum added 17 points on six of 12 shooting while Khris Middleton chipped in with 14 points, but no other player finished in double figures in scoring.
As a team, the Wizards shot 44 percent from the field and 12 of 34 from the 3-point line, but their defensive issues were on full display again as they allowed 35 points in the second quarter to fall behind by 10 points at halftime. Before they allowed another 35 points in the fourth quarter to get blown out at home where they are now 0-6 on the season.
Minnesota Timberwolves Betting Preview
Meanwhile, the Minnesota Timberwolves have been on a nice run as they’ve reeled off five wins from their past six outings. They will be eager to stay hot after running past the slumping Mavericks in a 120-96 home win on Monday. Naz Reid led the team with 22 points and 12 rebounds on nine of 14 shooting, Jaden McDaniels and Rudy Gobert each scored 15 points while Donte DiVincenzo chipped in with 13 points.
As a team, the Timberwolves shot 45 percent from the field and 14 of 44 from the 3-point line as they set the tone with 34 points in the first quarter to take a 17-point lead into halftime. Before they exploded for 37 points in the third quarter to lead by as many as 33 points at one stage.

Timberwolves vs Wizards Prediction
The Wizards are keeping an eye on Alex Sarr who is questionable for this one, while the Timberwolves have listed Jaden McDaniels as questionable with a wrist injury. It’s a classic case of two teams headed in opposite directions with the Wizards spiralling downwards while the Timberwolves are taking off. The Wizards haven’t even able to buy a win this season, and they just got smashed by the Nets who are another team at the bottom of the standings.
In contrast, the Timberwolves are starting to heat up, and they just made light work of the struggling Mavericks in their last outing and I expect we will see more of the same in this one. The line was always going to be hefty for this matchup, but I think the Timberwolves get the easy win and cover at home against this ice-cold Wizards unit.
