Donte DiVincenzo is bringing life to the Minnesota Timberwolves with his made threes prop being the bet to focus on in the picks and prediction against the Golden State Warriors.
The Minnesota Timberwolves are getting the player that they needed in Donte DiVincenzo and with his revival, he has a prop to target to help lift the T-Wolves in a home matchup over the Golden State Warriors.
The Minnesota Timberwolves might be only two games up on the Golden State Warriors in the NBA standings, but that feels like a gulf given the trend lines between the two. Tonight’s spread emphasizes that gulf, favoring Minnesota by six points.will not focus on that spread, but rather my Warriors vs. Timberwolves predictions recognize a recent change in Minnesota’s approach. Tip comes at 9:30pm ET on Wednesday, January 15.traded Karl-Anthony Towns to the Knicks just before preseason practices began, the understandable and broad reaction was to focus on. Randle is likely a one-year piece in the Twin Cities, while DiVincenzo could be there for three full seasons, all at excellent value. Minnesota wanted DiVincenzo not only for his quality of shooting but also for his quantity of shooting. Towns already provided quality as the best-shooting center of all time. But DiVincenzo took 10.8 threes per 36 minutes last season, making 40.1% of them. That kind of combination could unlock new heights for the Timberwolves’ offense centered around But that quantity fell to 8.6 threes attempted per 36 minutes in a 19-game stretch that saw Minnesota also go 9-10. Not all of that dismal record lay at DiVincenzo’s feet, but his reluctance to chuck did not help things. So the Timberwolves put him into the starting lineup, and they have gone 4-1 since. DiVincenzo is back to shooting, taking 10.8 threes per 36 minutes in this stretch and at least seven in each of the five games, all while making 40% of them.With Edwards and Randle initiating more of the offense when in lineups without Mike Conley, DiVincenzo gets more shooting opportunities. And he has the greenest of green lights.There are ripple effects to DiVincenzo replacing Conley in the lineup, and one of them is Edwards handles the ball that much more. He and Conley still overlap some, but nowhere near as much. As a result, Edwards has had at least six assists in four of these five games. The DiVincenzo-for-Conley swap will not solve all of Minnesota’s ills this season, but until further notice, it should warrant enough faith to take the Timberwolves on the moneyline. They lost as short favorites to the Grizzlies on Saturday, a two-point defeat, hardly a dooming result when considering the short-term success of this lineup change.Take advantage of the early win payout at bet365, where any pre-game NBA moneyline bet getsThe Timberwolves opened as 5.5-point favorites on Tuesday evening and peaked at -6.5 early on Wednesday before settling at -6 before the East Coast workday began. The total opened at 215 on Tuesday evening and hardly moved, reaching for 216 during the overnight and returning to 215 before anyone had woken up to notice. Neither team has an inherent rest advantage, though it warrants noting this is the fourth game in a four-game road trip for the Warriors.: Our team of experts has thoroughly researched and handpicked each product that appears on our website.

His betting habits and coverage follow that same pattern. He covered Notre Dame football for various outlets from 2008 to 2024, most notably spending eight seasons as NBC Sports’ beat writer on the Irish. That was also when his gambling focus took off. Knowing there were veteran beat writers with three decades more experience than he had, Douglas found his niche by best recognizing Notre Dame’s standing in each year’s national landscape, a complex tapestry most easily understood and remembered via betting odds. In 2021, that interest created a freelance opportunity with Covers, a role that eventually led to Douglas joining the company full-time in 2023. In the fall, Douglas will place five or six dozen bets each week, a disproportionate amount via BetRivers because the operator tends to have lines slightly different than the rest of the market. The same can be said of Circa Sports’ futures markets. While Douglas is an avid NBA fan and covers the league throughout the year, the vast majority of his bets are on college football, because that is the biggest key to sports betting: Know what you do not know.Copyright © 1995 - 2025 CS Media Limited All Rights Reserved.
