(527) Golden State Warriors at (528) Minnesota Timberwolves: Spread

Minnesota Timberwolves -7.5 (-110)

1. Recent Trends:

   • System Trend: The system you've highlighted indicates that when both teams are on no rest and the home favorite (in this case, the Warriors) faced a team coming off a road win, there is a historical success rate of 38-18-1 (68%) ATS. This suggests that home favorites in this situation tend to perform well against the spread.

2. Timberwolves Performance:

   • Minnesota has struggles losing 3 stright including back-to-back home games but they have covered 3 of their last 4 games without rest.

3. Warriors’ Recent Struggles:

   • The Golden State Warriors have played two games with no rest since January 1 and have failed to cover the spread by a significant margin (26 points). This could signal fatigue and inefficiencies, possibly making them more vulnerable in this game.

Event:

(527) Golden State Warriors at (528) Minnesota Timberwolves: Spread

Date/Time:

January 26, 2026 9:40 PM EST

Play:

Minnesota Timberwolves -7.5 (-110)

The Timberwolves are poised to bounce back and defeat the Golden State Warriors in today's rematch in Minneapolis, snapping their season-worst five-game losing streak—including Sunday's lopsided 111-85 loss to the same opponent. The quick turnaround should favor the home team.

Anthony Edwards, who dropped 32 points on efficient shooting in the prior game, publicly called out the team's lack of effort and energy, signalling a likely intensity boost from him and his teammates as they fight to avoid embarrassment on their home court before the All-Star break.

Meanwhile, the Warriors face significant challenges on the second night of a back-to-back, with load management a real possibility for the 37-year-old Stephen Curry amid his recent knee soreness—potentially leaving Golden State without their offensive centerpiece after he played and led them on Sunday—while other factors like travel fatigue and resting players for long-term health could blunt their momentum from the blowout win. Remember, Butler is done for the season.

With Minnesota's superior defensive talent and the motivation to respond aggressively in front of their fans, the Wolves have the edge to flip the script and secure a much-needed victory. Lay the points with Minnesota. Valid to -8

NBA Betting Picks Today, NBA Predictions Tonight 

One of the most refreshing aspects of NBA picks free from WagerTalk is the frequency with which they're offered.  These are not AI picks that are just churned out nonsensically a week in advance.  These NBA picks free that are made available for today and for tonight's NBA games reflect the most recent news, injury reports, trades, matchup evaluations and much more.  They're fresh, they're frequent, and they're spectacular. 
 

Free Against the Spread NBA Picks

ATS NBA bets are some of the most popular choices for NBA bettors.  They're also among the most difficult. NBA bettors, however, and NBA experts, can sometimes find a nice edge in ATS NBA betting - maybe a line doesn't totally take into account some statistics or maybe bettors have shifted the line incorrectly.

Maybe two teams match up in such a way that the spread is moot. Only you can find out by getting your picks free for NBA bets from us

Free NBA MoneyLine Predictions

NBA moneyline betting picks are free and common from WagerTalk.  You'll see them every day from WagerTalk's team. NBA moneyline betting could not be simpler. And makes your watching of the games pretty straightforward - you simply pick the NBA team that you think is going to win. A heavy favorite won't see a generous payout, but an underdog will.

Total Points, Over/Under Free NBA Predictions 

Grab WagerTalk's free NBA over under picks daily. An over under pick simply refers to whether or a team or combined total of teams points will end up being more (over) or less (under) than the designated line for that game.

If an over/under line for an NBA game is 201.5, and you place a bet on the over, you need the teams to combine for 202+ points. It's that simple. Over/under betting can also comes in halves and sometimes even quarters - and you can get longer odds if you select a less likely over/under line offered by a sportsbook.

If two high-scoring NBA teams match up, you could very well see some pretty extravagantly high overs - but that doesn't mean it's not worth taking a look - but check with our NBA expert handicappers first for their suggested free NBA picks!

Props & Parlay NBA Betting Picks - Free NBA Picks & Parlays

WagerTalk gives you free NBA player props and team props throughout the year.  The undisputed online leader in NFL and MLB player props, WagerTalk's expert prop bettors apply that knowledge to NBA props as well. 

Is there a tasty NBA player prop out there that you haven't noticed?  Maybe a not particularly good at rebounding guard is playing against a team that bombs away from long-range and bricks hard.  Maybe that player's over/under rebounds line is something like 3.  Well, in this matchup, he's got a good shot at knocking well past that 3 rebounds, making him a great NBA player prop pick - WagerTalk can find that prop.
