The 2022-23 NBA season continues on Monday, Nov. 28 with a slate of 10 games, including a showdown between the Minnesota Timberwolves and Washington Wizards. The Timberwolves enter this matchup having lost back-to-back games, including an ugly 137-114 loss to the Golden State Warriors on Sunday.

It isn't like the Wizards have had much better luck, though. Washington has now last three straight games following a 130-121 loss to the Boston Celtics yesterday, which saw the Wizards fail to lead beyond the first six minutes of the first quarter.

Wizards vs. Timberwolves Prediction & Pick

The Wizards have gotten the better of the Timberwolves for quite some time, winning each of their last five meetings. It's been over three years since Minnesota last won in the nation's capital and while a lot has changed since then, I can see Washington getting the win tonight.

The T-Wolves get a lot of their work down low, averaging 52.7 points in the paint (No. 7). Unfortunately for them, the Wizards are one of the best teams at guarding the frontcourt, allowing only 46.6 points in the pain (sixth-best).

Furthermore, the Wizards should be able to take advantage of the Timberwolves' lackluster perimeter defense. While Washington averages 12.9 threes (T-No. 11) on a 38.6% success rate at home (No. 8), Minnesota allows an NBA-worst 14.2 threes per game on 36.8% shooting (eighth-worst).

Back the Wizards ending their skid tonight.

Final Score Prediction: Wizards: 119 | Timberwolves: 110

Wizards vs. Timberwolves Best Bet

A one-point spread means a pick 'em situation and I expect the Wizards to get the job done. Not only are they the better team statistically this season, but they've also won five of their last six road games, whereas the Timberwolves haven't won at Capital One Arena since 2019.

Take the Wizards on the spread as the best bet for this game.

Bet: Wizards -1 (-110)
