• Check out Mavericks vs Timberwolves predictions, player details and best odds on October 29th

After falling in five games in last year’s Western Conference Finals, the Minnesota Timberwolves (2-1, 1-0 at home, 1-2 ATS) are looking for a measure of revenge against the Dallas Mavericks (2-1, 0-1 away, 1-2 ATS) on Tuesday night at Target Center in Minneapolis (6:40 p.m. CT/7:40 p.m. ET). The T-wolves, who went 30-11 at home last season and enter Saturday’s home opener (112-101 vs. Toronto), are listed as 4.5- to 5.5-point favorites, depending on the sports exchange.

Mavericks vs Timberwolves Predictions

• Timberwolves -4.5 (-115) at BetMGM
• Julius Randle over 21.5 points (-110) on DraftKings

Sasha Paruk’s 2024-25 NBA record: 7-4 (+2.98 points). All bets 1 unit unless otherwise stated.

The early upside of the Karl-Anthony Towns for Julius Randle trade is positive for the Wolves. After a relatively quiet 16-point night in the season opener — Randle’s first game since January 2024 — the former Knick has led Minnesota in scoring in each of the last two games, both wins. Randle dropped 33 points on 12-of-17 shooting in a 117-15 win at the Kings on Thursday and followed that up with 24 points on 9-of-16 shooting in a 112-101 win over the Raptors in the home mini-opener on Saturday.

The Mavericks played at the seventh-fastest pace last year (100.6) and had just the 18th-best defensive rating. While the addition of longtime warrior Klay Thompson should certainly help the team’s three-point shooting (which was ), Dallas really did nothing to improve the defensive end of the floor in the offseason.

Minnesota escaped with two home wins against Dallas in the regular season last year (118-110 on Dec. 28 and 121-87 on Jan. 31) before losing all three home games in the West finals) and went 3-1 overall against The Mavs during the 2023-24 regular season averaged 116.5 PPG, well above their 113.0 PPG average for the season as a whole.

With Dallas coming off a 110-102 win over Utah last night, a game in which Kyrie Irving, Luka Doncic and PJ Washington all played 33 or more minutes, I expect Minnesota to continue its regular season dominance over the Mavs on Tuesday night.

Anthony Edwards (26.5 O/U) has the highest total on the Minnesota side. ANT is averaging 27.7 PPG through three games after scoring a career-high 25.9 PPG last year.
