Grizzlies vs Timberwolves Predictions & NBA Betting Preview

Minnesota enters at 17-9 and has won 4 of its last 5 games, including dominant home victories over Sacramento (117-103 on Dec 14) and road wins at Golden State (127-120 on Dec 12).

Anthony Edwards is averaging 28.7 PPG on elite shooting splits, Julius Randle has unlocked his potential at 23.1 PPG with 7.3 RPG and 5.8 APG, and Rudy Gobert anchors an elite defense allowing just 105.2 points per 100 possessions.

At home, the Timberwolves are 10-3 and have established Target Center as a legitimate fortress where opponents struggle to execute.

UPDATE (5:40 P.M. EST): Anthony Edwards has been ruled out, and Ja Morant is doubtful.

Grizzlies Injury Report: Not Good

Memphis sits at 12-14 and is missing many rotation players tonight. Here’s the brutal injury report:

CONFIRMED OUT:

  • Zach Edey (C) — Stress reaction in left ankle, re-evaluated in 4 weeks
  • Ty Jerome (G) — Right calf strain
  • John Konchar (F/G) — Thumb injury
  • Scotty Pippen Jr. (G) — Left big toe injury
  • Cam Spencer (G) — Personal reasons

QUESTIONABLE:

  • Ja Morant (PG) — Left ankle sprain (injured leaving Dec 16 LAC game)
  • Brandon Clarke (F) — Knee injury

The Grizzlies are down to Jaren Jackson Jr. as their primary offensive weapon, with Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (acquired in the Bane trade) and Cole Anthony providing limited support. This is a skeleton crew facing an elite opponent on the road.

Anthony Edwards Predictions

  • Anthony Edwards: 28.7 PPG, 4.9 RPG, 3.8 APG on 47.2 FG%, 38.1 3P%

Edwards is playing at an All-Star level and faces a Memphis defense missing multiple perimeter defenders. Without Edey anchoring the paint, the Grizzlies’ interior protection is porous, allowing Edwards to attack the rim freely. Expect a big game, if he’s active.

Julius Randle vs. Jaren Jackson Jr.

  • Julius Randle: 23.1 PPG, 7.3 RPG, 5.8 APG

Randle has been elite in Minnesota’s system—facilitating, scoring, and playing defense. He’s the engine beyond Edwards’ scoring.

  • Jaren Jackson Jr.: 17.4 PPG, 5.0 RPG on 44.1 FG%

Jackson Jr. is being asked to carry the entire offensive load without Edey’s interior presence and with Morant questionable. He’s playing heavy minutes, which exhausts efficiency against elite defenses.

Best Grizzlies vs Timberwolves Picks

  • PICK: Timberwolves -9.5

Memphis is catastrophically injured, on the road, against an elite home team.

Grizzlies vs Timberwolves Prediction Score: Timberwolves 121, Grizzlies 108

  • PICK: Anthony Edwards Higher Than 27.5 Points

Edwards is averaging 28.7 PPG and faces a compromised defense. Expect a strong performance if he plays!
