We're looking at the first-half spread in tonight's Mavericks vs. Timberwolves predictions, backing Minnesota in a revenge spot with our NBA picks.
Rudy Gobert was disrespected by the Mavs in last year's playoffs. Tonight is his — and the Timberwolves' — first shot at revenge. We like Minnesota to take care of business in the first half especially.hile there will be some discussion tonight of Rudy Gobert’s defensive effectiveness against the likes of Dereck Lively II, the Minnesota focus will be on exacting revenge and that may be best served offensively in our Mavericks vs Timberwolves predictions.
But he is still driving, particularly when it matters. Edwards is just as explosive as ever in the lane, and instinct says he will find an opportunity to challenge Lively. Involving Gobert in the offense regularly leads to him emphasizing his defensive prowess. It very much is a psychological play of rewarding someone for their unnoticed work.
The climbing spread reflects, in some part, Dallas being on the second night of a back-to-back, and last night’s 110-102 win vs. Utah needing some genuine effort.This total opened at 225.5 and fell on Monday night, reaching 223.5 and then 222.5 before sunrise, only to tick further down to 221.5 on Tuesday morning.Douglas Farmer spends his days thinking about college football and his nights thinking about the NBA. His betting habits and coverage follow that same pattern.
