Trail Blazers vs. Timberwolves Prediction, Odds and Best NBA Prop Bets for Friday, March 20

The Portland Trail Blazers and Minnesota Timberwolves are both looking for their third-straight wins when they meet up on Friday night.

Portland took care of business in Brooklyn and Indiana after a loss in Philadelphia to start its road trip, while Minnesota returned home to pick up two wins without Anthony Edwards.

The Timberwolves won the first three meetings this season, including two last month, but things may be different this time around without their star guard.

The oddsmakers have the Timberwolves as slight home favorites at the best betting sites on
Friday night.

Let’s take a look at the odds, a player prop, and my prediction for Friday night’s NBA matchup.

Donovan Clingan OVER 10.5 Rebounds (-140)

Donovan Clingan has been racking up the rebounds recently. He has a total of 89 rebounds during his streak of seven straight OVER 10.5s.

Trail Blazers vs. Timberwolves Prediction and Pick

While all three meetings this season went over the total, I’m bucking that trend and taking the UNDER tonight. The Wolves are playing their third game in four nights without Edwards, and the Blazers went UNDER in the first two games of their road trip.

The Timberwolves are now 24-12 to the UNDER at home this season, with Portland 21-15 to the UNDER on the road. Look for them to slow it down a bit in tonight’s matchup.

Pick: UNDER 231.5 (-112)
