Milwaukee Bucks vs Minnesota Timberwolves Prediction 2/12/25 NBA Picks

The Milwaukee Bucks and the Minnesota Timberwolves collide at the Target Center on Wednesday night. Here’s a Milwaukee Bucks vs Minnesota Timberwolves Prediction. This article will include a Milwaukee Bucks vs Minnesota Timberwolves Pick.

The Milwaukee Bucks have been in a slump as they’ve lost six of their last eight games overall and they will be hoping for a better effort after getting trampled by the Warriors in a 125-111 loss on Monday. Damian Lillard led the team with 38 points and seven assists on 12 of 20 shooting, Kyle Kuzma added 21 points while Taurean Prince chipped in with 19 points but no other player scored more than seven points. As a team, the Bucks shot 50 percent from the field and 10 of 33 from the 3-point line as they did their best to stay within striking distance until the fourth quarter where the Warriors used a 20-4 run to pull away in the end. 

Meanwhile, the Minnesota Timberwolves have been in red-hot form as they’ve won eight of their last 11 games overall, but they will be hoping to bounce back in this one after getting trampled by the Cavaliers in a 128-107 road defeat on Monday. Anthony Edwards tried his best as he led the team with 44 points on 13 of 28 shooting, Rob Dillingham added 13 points off the bench while Rudy Gobert chipped in with 12 points and two blocks. As a team, the Timberwolves shot just 40 percent from the field and 12 of 39 from the 3-point line as they got off to a nightmare start and were always fighting an uphill battle after allowing the Cavaliers to open the game on a 16-0 run. 

Why the Minnesota Timberwolves will win

• The Bucks have lost each of their six previous games at Target Center following a home loss.
• The home team has won each of the Timberwolves’ last four games.
• The Bucks have failed to cover the spread in eight of their last nine road games.
• The favorites have covered the spread in seven of the last eight games between the Bucks and Timberwolves at Target Center.

Why the Milwaukee Bucks will win

• The Bucks have won each of their last four night games against the Timberwolves at Target Center.
• The Timberwolves have lost five of their last six home games against Eastern Conference opponents that held a winning record.
• The Timberwolves have failed to cover the spread in eight of their last nine home games on the first leg of a back-to-back.
• The Bucks have covered the spread in each of their last four night games against the Timberwolves at Target Center.

The Bucks are still playing without Giannis Antetokounmpo while the Timberwolves are keeping an eye on Anthony Edwards and Mike Conley who are both questionable. This is one of those games where you should check the lineups before tipoff due to the injury cloud hanging over the Timberwolves, but as of this time of writing, I think the Bucks represent decent value with the points in what should be a close contest.
