The Minnesota Timberwolves earned their fourth straight win with a 131-122 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Thursday at Target Center.
Saturday’s rematch shifts the action to Rocket Arena, and my Timberwolves vs. Cavaliers predictions expect the home team to come away with a win as Anthony Edwards and Donovan Mitchell trade buckets all afternoon.
Here are my best free NBA picks for this cross-conference showdown on Saturday, January 10.
Timberwolves vs Cavaliers prediction
Timberwolves vs Cavaliers best bet: Anthony Edwards Over 29.5 points (-110)
Anthony Edwards is averaging 26.4 points per game at home compared to a whopping 32.2 points per game on the road. Ant-Man has reached the 30-point plateau in 17 appearances, including 11 of 15 on the road.
Edwards has posted some of his best games outside of Target Center, delivering 40+ six times, five of those coming on the road. He finished with 28 at home against the Cleveland Cavaliers last season but finished with 44 in his last trip to Cleveland.
The Cavs held a halfcourt advantage on Thursday before the Minnesota Timberwolves went on a monster run in the third quarter to propel them to victory. Cleveland should be more competitive at home, led by the firepower of Donovan Mitchell, who has excelled as a scorer at Rocket Arena.
After scoring just 26 points in Thursday's win at home, Edwards will need to be more involved on offense today as he duels Mitchell in Saturday’s matinee rematch. I’ll take the Over here.
Timberwolves vs Cavaliers same-game parlay
Mitchell has scored 30+ in 21 of 35 games overall, including 12 of 20 at Rocket Arena. Spida has posted at least 30 points in four straight games and three straight at home.
After falling to the Wolves on the road in his last game out, I'm counting on a big scoring performance at home to lead Cleveland to victory.
The Cavs are the worst team ATS at home this season, sporting a dreadful 6-15 mark as the home favorite. However, Cleveland is 13-8 straight up in this situation.
If not for a monster third quarter from Minnesota on Thursday, Cleveland could have taken that one, and I expect a bounce-back performance today.
