Pacers vs Timberwolves Prediction, Picks and NBA Prop Bets for March 17: Bet Mike Conley Under 7.5 Points

The Timberwolves are on a roll, stacking up eight straight wins and gunning for a ninth. Meanwhile, the Pacers have only snagged two wins in their last five. This is one of those NBA matchups where momentum meets desperation – something’s got to give.

Can Indiana slow down a red hot Minnesota squadron on their homecourt? Let’s break down the NBA odds and see where we can make some extra cash.

Pacers vs Timberwolves Prediction

The Timberwolves’ NBA championship odds have soared now that SG Anthony Edwards and PF Julius Randle are back at full strength. That said, the Pacers have stepped up defensively, limiting opponents from deep just like Minnesota – but they’re still facing a tough matchup here. I expect this game to be closer than most anticipate, but Minnesota’s offensive firepower and rebounding will be the game-changer. My NBA game predictions? Timberwolves 120, Pacers 112.

Pacers vs Timberwolves 3 Best NBA Player Props Today

1. Mike Conley Under 7.5 (-114)

Need an NBA player prop pick tonight? Take Timberwolves PG Mike Conley to finish under 8.5 points. While he’s stepped up offensively with Minnesota missing key players, that won’t be the case this time around with the roster back at full strength. Conley will shift back to facilitating and take fewer shots – especially against Indiana’s strong perimeter defense, which won’t leave him many clean looks. He might score, but not more than eight points.
Bet on Mike Conley Under 7.5 (-114)

2. Jaden McDaniels Under 1.5 Threes (-162)

With the Timberwolves healthy, anticipate PF Jaden McDaniels to take a step back offensively and finish with under 1.5 triples. Sure, he’s drained two 3-pointers in five of his last seven games, but that was when injuries were handing him extra looks. Now, with everyone back, his shots will be limited. Factor in the Pacers’ perimeter defense, allowing just 12 triples per game, and this NBA player prop is money in the bank.

3. Rudy Gobert 11+ Rebounds (+117)

Despite Indiana improving defensively on the arc, they’re still overmatched on the boards, setting up C Rudy Gobert for a big night to grab 11+ rebounds. Sure, Gobert will battle C Myles Turner under the rim, but let’s be real – Turner isn’t exactly a true rebounding big, averaging just under 6.5 boards per game and often playing outside the paint. In other words, bet online for Gobert to dominate and snag 11+ rebounds.

Pacers vs Timberwolves Moneyline Pick

If PG Tyrese Haliburton suits up alongside a few others, Indiana could keep it interesting for most of the game. But the truth is, whether they are healthy or not, they’re just outgunned offensively and lack the rebounding support to stop a scrappy Minnesota team that loves to fight. I’m all in on the Wolves to pick up another win, extending their win streak to nine straight. Back Minnesota on the moneyline.

Bet on Timberwolves ML (-315)

Pacers vs Timberwolves Spread Pick

While Minnesota isn’t the best at covering the NBA betting lines, I’m still trusting them to take advantage of a banged-up Pacers squad and cover. With a healthy starting five and a winning streak under their belt, they have all the momentum and tools on their side to handle business. Sure, Indiana’s defense will have its moments, but Minnesota will figure them out and have their way by the second half on offense. Wolves cover.

Bet on Timberwolves ATS -7.5

Pacers vs. Timberwolves Over/Under Pick

Here’s the catch: Minnesota will do their part and get their points, but with Indiana likely missing a few key scorers, I’m sticking with the under for my NBA expert picks tonight. Plus, both teams guard the 3-point shot like white on rice, which should slow down the scoring pace and force each offense to work harder. In short, everything’s lining up for this game to fall under the 228.5 mark. Take the under.

Bet on Pacers vs Timberwolves Under 228.5
