Minnesota Timberwolves vs Dallas Mavericks Prediction, Odds and Picks for Wednesday, 12/25/24

Minnesota got absolutely smoked by the Atlanta Hawks on Monday night 117-104 for their 3rd loss in a row, and now they head to Dallas for a Christmas Day showdown with the Mavs. Julius Randle and Anthony Edwards committed 13 turnovers combined in that game, as that duo has had a rough couple of weeks. To make matters worse, the T’Wolves just 2-4 SU in their last 6 games.  For a team that’s been really good defending the perimeter, Minnesota has fallen off considerably over their last 3 games, as opponents are making almost 44% of shots against them. Dallas put 16 threes past them in the 1st meeting of the season, winning 120-114 in Minnesota.

Dallas also played on Monday night. Luka Doncic returned to the lineup and scored 27 points, as the Mavs beat Portland 120-114. The win improved their home record to 10-4 on the season, and they have only dropped 2 of their last 12 games overall. Experience might come in play on Wednesday, and the Mavs have plenty of that when it comes to playing on Christmas Day. The top players on the team have played a combined 18 times on this special day, which should help keep their emotions in check. Dallas is a consistent 6-1 ATS in their last 7 home games, and they’ve beaten the Timberwolves 7 times in the last 10 meetings at American Airlines Center. All things considered, you have to go with the more in-form team here. Luka Doncic had 50 points and 15 assists in his last Christmas Day game. He probably won’t repeat that on Wednesday, but the Mavs should be able to handle the struggling Timberwolves.
