The Minnesota Timberwolves present an intriguing case. They boast a solid winning record, but their recent struggles and inability to beat top-tier competition temper expectations. Their Home Underdog performance is a major statistical anomaly worth exploiting.
| Metric | Detail | Analysis |
| Record | 12-8-0 | Solid. Indicates a team on track for a playoff spot in the competitive Western Conference. |
| Market Grade | B | Mid-Tier Contender. A tier below the elite A-teams, fitting the narrative that they struggle against winning records (currently 0-7 vs. teams >.500). |
| Last 7 Games | 4-3 | Inconsistent. Hovering around .500 recently, including two bad losses on the road against OKC and Sacramento. |
| Confidence Index | 42% | Low Confidence. Similar to the 76ers, the market is skeptical, likely due to their streakiness and late-game collapses. |
| Key Player Form | Anthony Edwards is on fire, setting a franchise record with his 102nd career 30-point game and leading the offense. The team is also getting strong play from Julius Randle and Donte DiVincenzo. |
The most powerful trend in the Timberwolves’ data is their phenomenal performance when playing as a Home Underdog.
| Situational Stat | Record | Point Differential (PF – PA) | Analysis |
| Home Underdog | 6 Win – 2 Lost | +10.25 (121.38 PF – 111.13 PA) | This is an elite trend. The Timberwolves win 75% of the time when playing at home and being counted out by the oddsmakers, and they win by a double-digit margin. Their home court advantage in these situations is significant. |
| Road Favorite | 5 Win – 5 Lost | +1.6 (118.3 PF – 116.7 PA) | They are highly inconsistent on the road, performing exactly at .500 SU and likely ATS. |
ATS Record (11-9-0): The Timberwolves are slightly positive Against The Spread. This is a solid result for a B-Grade team and contrasts sharply with the Raptors’ underperformance.
O/U Record (11-9-0): Their games trend slightly toward the Over, though it’s much closer to 50/50 than the 76ers. Their most recent games against the Spurs (125-112) and Celtics (119-115) both hit the Over.
Recent Slump (Last 3 Games): The last three games show a losing record (1-2) with a negative point differential: 112 PF – 115 PA (a -3.0 margin). This confirms a slight drop in overall team performance compared to their 10-game stretch (+6.2 margin).
Current Game (Confirmed Result): The data lists the current game as San Antonio Spurs (-4 / 235). The season records and search results confirm this game was played on Nov 30, with Minnesota winning 125-112 (covering the -3.5 spread and hitting the Over 233). The data you provided is already reflecting the result of this game.
Next Game: At NEW ORLEANS (Pelicans).
The Timberwolves are fully healthy (zero players on the injury report) while the Pelicans have a significant injury list, which is a major advantage for Minnesota.
Given the Pelicans’ poor 3-18 record (per search results), the Timberwolves are highly likely to be Road Favorites. Historically, this is their most inconsistent betting position (5-5 SU, 5-5 ATS), so caution is advised.
The strong scoring from Edwards, Randle, and DiVincenzo makes the Over a consideration, especially against a potentially compromised Pelicans defense.
The Timberwolves are a high-ceiling, but currently inconsistent, team heavily reliant on Anthony Edwards’ dynamic scoring.
Exploit the Home Underdog: Their most profitable trend is backing them when they are Home Underdogs.
Caution on the Road: Be wary of them as Road Favorites, where they lose their defensive edge and consistency.
Positive ATS: Despite a neutral market sentiment, they have been reliable against the spread this season.
