Nets vs. Timberwolves

It's been an underwhelming season for Timberwolves, who are in a position to go to back-to-back Play-In Tournaments. The absence of Karl-Anthony Towns has impacted their offense as they sit near the middle, and the defense isn't any better.

The Nets went from championship contenders to rebuild in a matter of days during the trade deadline. They now sit just outside the Play-In Tournament, and a bad final stretch could cause them to miss the playoffs entirely.

The T-Wolves are excellent at first baskets having the third-best percentage and are ninth in tip win percentage. Anthony Edwards leads the team in first baskets, and Brooklyn is allowed the most first baskets to shooting guards.

Pick: Anthony Edwards (+390)
