Trail Blazers vs Timberwolves NBA Preview
Our Bet Labs system titled "Big Contrarian Favorites" recommends backing home favorites like Minnesota to cover the spread despite increasing support for the red-hot Trail Blazers.
Certainly, Portland is on a great run after beating the Grizzlies twice over the weekend and defeating the 76ers last night, but they are still the Blazers.
The Timberwolves have won six of their last 10 games and have an 18-10 home record this season. They beat Portland 118-114 in the season opener on October 22 and have won seven of the last 10 matchups against them.
The Blazers are 10-15 on the road, and although they are on a three-game winning streak, they still have a 4-6 record in their last 10 games.
Trail Blazers vs Timberwolves Predictions, Betting Analysis
This NBA system identifies value in large favorites that the betting public tends to fade. It focuses on regular season games in which the favorite opens with a significant spread yet receives limited betting support, often below 40%.
These are spots where the market overreacts to recent performances, particularly when the opponent is coming off a strong win by a large margin.
Public bettors often chase momentum and undervalue elite teams laying points, assuming the line is inflated.
Historically, these contrarian favorites outperform expectations as sharp money backs the undervalued side while casual bettors load up on the underdog.
This system exploits those perception gaps, capitalizing on strong teams capable of covering despite public skepticism.
So, let's go with the Wolves to cover the spread tonight against the Blazers at an excellent value.
Pick: Timberwolves -7.5 (-105, bet365)
