Minnesota Timberwolves vs Charlotte Hornets Prediction – 3/5/2025


On March 5, 2025, the Minnesota Timberwolves (34-29) will face off against the Charlotte Hornets (14-46) in a Wednesday night matchup at Spectrum Center. This contest marks a challenging back-to-back situation for the Timberwolves, who played just a day prior, defeating the Philadelphia 76ers 126-112. The quick turnaround could hinder their performance, a factor to consider when evaluating their chances.

Despite the fatigue factor, the Timberwolves are significant favorites with a spread of -8.5 and a moneyline of -360, translating to an implied win probability of 76%. In stark contrast, the Hornets are struggling, entering this game on a seven-game losing streak after their recent loss to the Golden State Warriors, which ended 119-101. The Hornets’ current form could make it difficult for them to capitalize on any weaknesses the Timberwolves might show.

For bettors, LaMelo Ball's scoring potential is a focal point, as his points prop market has gained traction. Initially set at Over 22.5 Points (-120), it has seen movement to 23.5 (-110), indicating sharp action on the Over. With the Timberwolves' defensive efforts and Ball's ability to score, this could be an intriguing matchup to watch.

Ultimately, this game presents an opportunity for the Timberwolves to reinforce their playoff positioning while the Hornets hope to break their losing streak. The Timberwolves' recent form and the disparity in records suggest a competitive contest, but the fatigue factor may play a crucial role in determining the outcome.
