Grizzlies vs Timberwolves Game 3 Betting Pick
This game will be played at Target Center at 7:30 PM ET on Thursday, April 21, 2022.
Why Bet The Grizzlies:
✅ Memphis did not shoot a particularly high percentage in their Game 2 win over the Timberwolves. They made under a third of their three-point shot attempts but still blew Minnesota out. Memphis should be able to do enough to win this contest as their output in Game 2 was more than sustainable.
✅ The Grizzlies are better at avoiding turnovers than the Timberwolves, which will help them win on the road here. Memphis has forced 37 turnovers through two games in this series, and has turned the ball over just 21 times in return. That big a turnover differential can only help Memphis heading into Game 3.

✅ Memphis’ style of play is conducive to foul trouble for Karl-Anthony Towns. They have been taking the ball at Towns aggressively on drives to the basket, which has kept Towns on the bench more than he would like. That trend will continue in Game 3, as the Grizzlies’ downhill drives will continue to confound the Timberwolves’ center.
Memphis Grizzlies
The Memphis Grizzlies found their groove in Game 2 of their first round series with the Minnesota Timberwolves. They forced 19 turnovers in that game and were able to keep a comfortable margin between themselves and Minnesota for the majority of the game. In Game 3, they can expect a more stern challenge from the Timberwolves, as the series shifts to Minnesota.
In this game, the Grizzlies will need to remain aggressive in taking the ball at Karl-Anthony Towns. With Towns in foul trouble, the Grizzlies had a much easier time when penetrating and going toward the basket in Game 2. Towns has been in foul trouble in two of his three postseason games this year, and Memphis would be doing themselves a big favor if they can make it three out of four.
Minnesota Timberwolves
Minnesota struggled mightily in the second game of this series, coming back down to Earth after a strong Game 1 performance. Anthony Edwards in particular regressed from a dominant opening game, shooting 7/16 the game after putting up 36 points. In Game 3, the performance of Edwards and Karl-Anthony Towns could decide whether the Timberwolves can retake the lead in the series.
In Game 1, Edwards and Towns combined to score 65 points, with their scoring output dropping to 35 combined points in Game 2. They will need to combine for a total similar to the one they put together in Game 1 if the Timberwolves want to avoid falling behind against the Grizzlies.
