Bucks vs Timberwolves Prediction, Picks, NBA Prop Bets: Bank on Edwards 31+ Points for Feb 12

Wednesday night marks the first showdown between the Milwaukee Bucks and Minnesota Timberwolves, but neither team’s rolling in at full strength. And with Giannis Antetokounmpo sidelined, the Bucks are looking vulnerable. My NBA betting tips point toward Milwaukee being in for a rough one.

Forget the small talk – time to dive into these Bucks vs. Timberwolves odds and figure out who is stuffing your pockets tonight.

Bucks vs Timberwolves Prediction

Injuries are piling up for both squads heading into this one. The Bucks are without power forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (per updated Bucks vs. Timberwolves injuries), and the Wolves are missing PF Julius Randle and SG Donte DiVincenzo. With home-court advantage and three wins in their last four, Minnesota still has the firepower to handle business.

Milwaukee? Without its leader, the Bucks are no real threat on either end tonight. Final score? Timberwolves 115, Bucks 104.

Bucks vs Timberwolves 3 Best NBA Player Props Today

1. Anthony Edwards 31+ Points (-115)

With Randle and DiVincenzo out, Minnesota shooting guard Anthony Edwards has even more room to fire away – and he has already been lighting it up. Bet online for Edwards to score over 31.5 points tonight against a Milwaukee defense that’s about to have its hands full.

He’s coming off back-to-back 40-point games, and with extra shots coming his way, the Bucks can try to slow him down, but good luck with that.

2. Rudy Gobert 11+ Rebounds (-176)

Sure, Edwards steals the spotlight when it comes to shot-making, but don’t sleep on Wolves center Rudy Gobert. With Antetokounmpo sidelined, Gobert will have free reign under the rim to clean up. He’s averaging a double-double this season, and after a quiet eight-rebound night against Cleveland, this NBA player prop pick tonight feels like a lock. Bet on Gobert to bounce back and snag 11+ boards against a weakened Bucks frontcourt.

3. Damian Lillard Over 28.5 Points (-104)

PG Damian Lillard is coming off a 38-point performance in the Bucks’ recent loss to Golden State, and with Antetokounmpo sidelined again, he’s got another chance to carry Milwaukee’s offense. While I’m not expecting him to go nuclear for 40+ points against a tough Timberwolves defense, you can bank on him leading the scoring front. This NBA player prop is a solid pick – bet on Lillard to score over 28.5 points tonight.

Bet this NBA Player Props

Bucks vs Timberwolves Moneyline Pick

With the Bucks down their top scorer, Antetokounmpo, that leaves Milwaukee in a tough spot. Lillard and Co. might keep it close for a bit, but don’t expect much more from my NBA predictions. Meanwhile, Minnesota’s rolling in with a stronger offense, defense, and home-court advantage. This moneyline pick is an alley-oop – I’m taking the Timberwolves to win outright, and so should you.

NBA Pick: Timberwolves (-250)

Bucks vs Timberwolves Spread Pick

Here’s the deal – neither of these teams are exactly reliable when it comes to the spread, especially the Timberwolves, who are just 8-18 as a home favorite, per NBA betting trends. But with Milwaukee fresh off a rough loss to Golden State and missing its top scorer, it’s hard to see them keeping pace. Minnesota outranks the Bucks in points per game and points allowed per game. The writing’s on the wall: take the Timberwolves to cover -6½.

PICK: Timberwolves (-6½)

Bucks vs Timberwolves Over/Under Pick

Despite some big names still on the floor, the injuries on both sides are the real story here. Sure, Minnesota will have their moments putting up points, but with Milwaukee missing their go-to scorer and captain, and the Timberwolves down key role players who usually chip in, this one’s set to fall flat. I don’t see it clearing the 225-point mark. Bet the under – it’s looking like a lower scoring game.

NBA Pick: Under 225
