Timberwolves vs Mavericks NBA Parlay Today: Kyrie Irving Comes Off 33-Point Game, But Bet Over on His Assists on Jan 22

This game will be a rematch of last season’s Western Conference finals. However, a big part of the NBA news in the 2024-25 season is that the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Dallas Mavericks have underperformed.

Because of that, this matchup is not as exciting as it was on Christmas Day, when the Timberwolves won 105-99. However, Luka Doncic got injured in that game and hasn’t returned since.

Despite that, this matchup still has a lot of great options in the BetUS sportsbook to make a great parlay.

Timberwolves vs Mavericks Free NBA Parlay Picks

• Leg 1: Timberwolves Cover ATS -2.5 (-110)

The first leg of this parlay is going to the Timberwolves covering against the NBA spread. This might be a challenging inclusion, but the value is much better than backing them in the moneyline.

First, the Mavericks have struggled against the spread recently, only doing it twice in the last 10 games. While the Timberwolves are not exactly amazing at covering the spread, they will have their star player in Anthony Edwards, while the Mavericks will not have Luka Doncic. Plus, if the Timberwolves’ defense gives them a good chance to cover on the road.

• Leg 2: Under 216.5 (-110)

Based on two facts, this game will be an under. The first is that the Timberwolves have an elite defense. Over the last 15 games, they have allowed 109.5 points per game, ranked sixth.

That, mixed with the fact that the Mavericks’ offense has not been the same without Doncic, leads NBA predictions to bet on the under. Since Christmas Day, when Doncic got hurt, and the Mavericks scored 99 points against the Timberwolves, they have averaged the fourth-fewest points per game (107.6). Sure, part of that was Kyrie Irving being injured, but the offense is still searching for answers.

• Leg 3: Naz Reid Over 14.5 Points (-112)

Last season, Naz Reid deservingly won the Sixth Man of the Year award, which may have led to some people paying less attention to him. Even though he has not started in the last nine games, he averages 17.9 points in 27 minutes. In the Timberwolves’ previous game, Reid scored 29, just showing off how hot he is offensively.

• Leg 4: Kyrie Irving Over 4.5 Assists (-148)

While the recent stats might not back this NBA pick, it still should be a smart bet. Since Docic’s injury, Irving has only averaged three assists per game in seven appearances. This is because Kylie Irving is more of a score-first type of player. While his total points could hit the over, the Timberwolves’ defense might force the ball out of his hands, leading to a high assist game.
