Today’s Best NBA Bets: Raptors vs. Timberwolves

Let’s dive into a pair of games we like on Thursday and the best bet for each.

Raptors vs. Timberwolves

We’re not particularly inclined to bet on either of these teams right now, but we’ll side with the Raptors for our Thursday nightcap. Choose a metric: Adjusted Net Rating, Offensive/Defensive Efficiency, Pts/Poss, etc.– you will likely find Toronto to be rated higher than the Timberwolves. It’s generally good practice to bet on better teams, and that’s exactly what we’ll do with the Raptors, despite their road woes this season (6-14 SU).

The discerning factors here are injuries and fatigue. The Raptors boast a clean injury report (sans Otto Porter Jr., whom’s season ended in December), whereas the Wolves’ report is extensive. Additionally, Minnesota will have the disadvantage of playing the tail-end of a back-to-back after visiting Denver on Wednesday night. Take the Raptors, and trust this number to move in their direction.

Bet: Raptors -2.5 (-110)
