Minnesota Timberwolves vs Brooklyn Nets Prediction, Odds and Picks for Thursday, 04/03/25

We are hitting a critical point of the NBA regular season in terms of playoff seeding and no team in the NBA is in a better position to go up in the standings as the Minnesota Timberwolves are. With 6 games remaining, the T-Wolves have the easiest remaining schedule — and the fifth seed is just half a game away. Without Naz Reid and Donte DiVincenzo in the last game, Minnesota was able to overcome a historic night from Nikola Jokic in a double-OT thriller. The ‘Wolves have now won 7 of 10 games, and against Thursday’s opponent — the Brooklyn Nets — they are 4-1 SU in the last 5 meetings and have covered the spread 10 times in the last 13 games head-to-head.

Brooklyn has shown signs of life, winning its last 2 games. However, with that the Nets have shot themselves in the foot — they have now overtaken the 76ers in the East standings, which hurts their chances of landing a high pick in the NBA Draft lottery. The Nets rank 12th in the East and are likely to stay there, as the Sixers are doing their best to tank these remaining 6 games. There is a long list on the Nets’ injury report, so it’s unclear which team we will see on Thursday night. Point guard D’Angelo Russell is a game-time decision with a knee issue and Brooklyn’s offense runs through him, so his potential absence could have a deciding factor in the outcome of this game. Minnesota is on a good run right now; it has won 12 of 15 overall and 5 of 6 on the road. Three of the Timberwolves’ last 4 wins have come by double-digits. With Reid and DiVincenzo coming back, they should be able to put enough points to blow out the Nets. I’m backing Minnesota to cover.
