Minnesota Timberwolves vs Memphis Grizzlies Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 01/20/25

The Memphis Grizzlies and Minnesota Timberwolves meet on Martin Luther King Jr. Day on Monday afternoon in Memphis. This showdown highlights 2 rising stars: Anthony Edwards and Ja Morant. However, Morant’s availability remains uncertain as he is listed as questionable with a foot injury. If he can’t suit up, it will mark the 19th game he’s missed this season. Morant struggled in their last meeting, scoring 12 points on 5-of-19 shooting, but he made a clutch shot with 18 seconds left to secure a 127-125 win for the Grizzlies. Despite that performance, he’s been consistent this season, averaging 21.4 points and 7.5 assists per game.

Jaren Jackson Jr. also looms large for Memphis after posting 33 points and 8 rebounds in their last clash with Minnesota. The Timberwolves will rely on their defensive prowess (ranked 7th in the league) to slow Memphis down, but their recent games have seen high-scoring outcomes. While Minnesota prefers a slower pace, Memphis ranks 1st in pace and 5th in offensive rating, with or without Morant. Even in his absence, the Grizzlies have averaged an impressive 123.7 points per game. Given the trends, the Over at 234.5 points looks like the most appealing pick.
