Prediction published on 1/10/25, 9:45 PM  by Carlos Zabala | Modified on 1/10/25 at 10:05 PM in NBA Picks

The Grizzlies, a team that does things well on the court, are 24-12 this season, and for much of the season they managed to stay competitive despite prolonged absences of star Ja Morant due to injuries. The Grizzlies saw Morant return in their most recent loss at the hands of the Rockets in an entertaining 115-119 game. In his return Morant scored a solid 27 points, and regarding his shoulder he said it didn't impede him when shooting, but he will have to look at it game by game. On Saturday, they visit the Timberwolves in a new challenge at Target Center. These teams have not met since February 2024.

Meanwhile, Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards continues to have a good season averaging 25.7 points per game, also from the bench Naz Ried has done well contributing on average 12.8 points. The Timberwolves are on a 3-game winning streak, the latest of which was a nice win at the tough KIA Center against the Orlando Magic where Julius Randle scored 23 points and grabbed 10 rebounds. The Timberwolves had been favored by 5.5 points in the betting odds against the Magic and ended up winning by 15.
