The Minnesota Timberwolves remain atop the Western Conference even after Saturday’s deflating home loss to the Thunder. Fortunately for the Timberwolves, few opponents set up a more comfortable rebound than tonight’s visit from the Charlotte Hornets. LaMelo Ball is likely back in the Hornets’ lineup, but they are still scuffling enough this season to justify being 13.5-point underdogs in tonight's NBA odds. With Ball playing in the last two weeks since his return from an ankle injury — before sitting out on Saturday — Charlotte has gone just 1-3 outright and 0-4 against the spread, hardly a promising trend amid a lost season.

Clippers vs Timberwolves odds Clippers vs Timberwolves predictions The NBA season is long, and it’s common practice for teams to look for motivations big and small to bring the requisite night-to-night effort to succeed at the highest levels. Sometimes the source of that motivation is ridiculous, like when a perennial title favorite claims that “nobody believed in us” despite having been an NBA Championship odds leade...

The Minnesota Timberwolves are surging, looking for their seventh straight win and a regular season sweep when they visit the New Orleans Pelicans tonight. The Pels are coming off a drubbing at the hands of the LA Lakers in the NBA Tournament semi-final, their second loss in three games. Minnesota could be down several key players, including star Anthony Edwards — part of the reason they’re 3.5-point underdogs in the NBA odds. Let’s break down this battle in the Big Easy. Read below for my free NBA picks for the Timberwolves vs. Pelicans on Monday, December 11. Timberwolves vs Pelicans odds Timberwolves vs Pelicans predictions A hip injury has forced Anthony Edwards out of action in two of the last three Timberwolves games, and he’s questionable for Monday. Forward Jaden McDaniels has already been ruled out with an ankle injury. That’s about the only thing that’s gone wrong for the Timberwolves, the surprise team in the league, a...
