Minnesota Timberwolves vs Indiana Pacers Prediction 3/24/25 NBA Picks

The Minnesota Timberwolves and the Indiana Pacers collide at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Monday night. Here’s a Minnesota Timberwolves vs Indiana Pacers Prediction. This article will include a Minnesota Timberwolves vs Indiana Pacers Pick.

The Minnesota Timberwolves have been in great shape as they've won nine of their last 11 games overall and they will be eager to keep it going after making light work of the Pelicans in a 134-93 home win on Friday. Julius Randle led the team with 20 points, six rebounds and five assists, Jaden McDaniels and Anthony Edwards scored 17 points each while Rudy Gobert chipped in with 14 points, 11 rebounds, and three assists. As a team, the Timberwolves shot a healthy 53 percent from the field and 19 of 44 from the 3-point line as they dominated right from the start and took a 14-point lead into halftime. Before they exploded for 72 points in the second half to make it a complete blowout in the end. It was a real balanced scoring effort as the Timberwolves had seven players finishing in double figures in scoring and Gobert was the only starter to play more than 26 minutes. 

Meanwhile, the Indiana Pacers have been in fine form as they've won six of their last seven games overall and they will be aiming for a fifth straight win after sneaking past the Nets in a 108-103 win on Saturday. Pascal Siakam led the team with 26 points and six assists on 10 of 20 shooting, Myles Turner added 22 points with eight rebounds and three blocks while Tyrese Haliburton chipped in with 16 points, eight rebounds and 12 assists. As a team, the Pacers shot 47 percent from the field and 11 of 35 from the 3-point line as they jumped all over the Nets from the start and led by as many as 20 points in the third quarter. They survived a late rally from the Nets, who cut the lead to just two points at one stage. 

 

Why the Indiana Pacers will win

• The Pacers have won each of their last seven games at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
• The Timberwolves have lost each of their last four games against Eastern Conference opponents that held a winning record.
• The Timberwolves have failed to cover the spread in each of their last four night games against Eastern Conference opponents that held a winning record.
• The Pacers have covered the spread in four of their last five games against Western Conference opponents that held a winning record.

Why the Minnesota Timberwolves will win

• The Timberwolves have won 12 of their last 14 games as road underdogs when playing with a rest advantage.
• The Pacers have lost each of their last four home games against Timberwolves teams that held a winning record.
• The Timberwolves have covered the spread in 14 of their last 15 games as road underdogs when playing with a rest advantage.
• The Pacers have failed to cover the spread in each of their last six games following a win.

The Timberwolves are keeping an eye on Anthony Edwards, who is questionable due to a cut on his right thumb, while the Pacers have listed Bennedict Mathurin as questionable due to a left ankle sprain. It's hard to make a pick for this game without knowing if Edwards is going to suit up for the Timberwolves, given how important he is. The Pacers were far from convincing in their narrow win over the struggling Nets on Saturday, but they've been in great form overall, and I think they get the job done at the short line in this spot.
