2026 NBA Handicapping – Dallas Mavericks vs. Minnesota Timberwolves
Here’s why I’m backing Minnesota ATS in my Mavericks Timberwolves free pick & gambling prediction for this matchup.
Mavericks vs. Timberwolves Gameday
Dallas travels to Minnesota on November 12th for an NBA matchup at Target Center. Tipoff is scheduled for 8:00 ET, with both teams placed near the top of the Western Conference.
If there is a surprise, it’s the play of the Mavericks, which has pundits thinking they’ll make a trade to bolster the roster instead of trading Kyrie Irving (which was the thinking preseason).
Per John Schuhmann: The Wolves lost two of their first three games without Anthony Edwards, but they’ve since won four straight. They handed the Rockets their first home loss (and worst defensive game) of the season on Wednesday and then ended the Pelicans’ four-game winning streak two nights later.
As for the Wolves, they continue to win in spite of Anthony Edwards missing time due to injury. Ayo Dosunmu has stepped up in the superstars’ absence, and the team is playing rock-solid defense.

Mavericks vs. Timberwolves Key Matchup
Flagg is playing like a grizzled vet instead of a 19-year-old. He’s leading his club, averaging 25.9 points, 6.9 rebounds, and 6.9 assists.
Kyrie Irving is ramping up his play slowly, given that he’s returning from a serious injury, but is still outputting 22.9 points and 4.3 assists per game.
CP Is More Than Just Sports Picks!
Without Edwards, LaMelo becomes the key Wolf to center on for opposing teams.
He’s the main playmaker (6.0 assists) and prides himself on keeping everyone involved. To wit, five players average double-digit scoring (six with Edwards).
Dallas Mavericks vs. Minnesota Timberwolves bottom line: Minnesota boasts the top-ranked defense in the Association and has strung together impressive wins against the upper echelon with that prowess.

Mavericks Timberwolves Free Pick: Timberwolves -5.5
Here is my Mavericks Timberwolves free pick: I’m playing Minnesota ATS. With a few days’ rest, the Wolves will be fresh and ready to push the pace behind Ball’s leadership.
Dallas has also been playing well, ranking 12th offensively, but against the top defense, they’ll be in tough.
Per John Schuhmann: All three of the Wolves’ losses came on their first stretch of five games in seven days, with two of them being rest-disadvantage games on the road. The other one (vs. Golden State) doesn’t look as bad now that the Warriors have won seven straight games as it did at the time, and the three losses have come by a total of just 17 points.
Take the Wolves to continue their winning streak and to cover.
