The Dallas Mavericks (4-10) visit the Minnesota Timberwolves (8-5) in an NBA 2025-26 game on Monday, November 17, at the Target Center.

The Timberwolves stake their solid home record when they host the Mavericks on Monday. Recently, they absorbed a 123-112 home loss to the Denver Nuggets, a game where Minnesota actually led 60-55 at halftime before getting outscored in the second half.

Wolves stars Anthony Edwards and Julius Randle produced 26 points apiece in the loss. It snapped their previous four-game winning streak and dropped them to 7th place in the stacked Western Conference. 

As for the Mavericks, they finally snapped their skid with a 138-133 overtime victory over the Portland Trail Blazers. That win ended a three-game losing streak and gave Dallas just its second victory in its last nine outings.

P.J. Washington Jr. and rookie Cooper Flagg paced the Mavs with 21 points apiece, while Daniel Gafford added 20 in a much-needed offensive breakout.

This game will be a battle between two different styles. The Mavericks have the third-best defensive rating in the league, while the Timberwolves carry the fourth-best offensive rating. Let's see if the Mavericks can muster enough offense to keep up with the Timberwolves.

Minnesota Timberwolves - Dallas Mavericks Key Points

  1. The Timberwolves are coming off a 123-112 loss to the Denver Nuggets.
  2. The Mavericks are coming off a 138-133 overtime win against the Portland Trail Blazers.
  3. The Mavericks have the third-best defensive rating in the league, while the Timberwolves carry the fourth-best offensive rating.
  4. The Mavericks will miss the services of Anthony Davis, Dante Exum, and Kyrie Irving.

Our Minnesota Timberwolves vs Dallas Mavericks Prediction

The Mavericks, sans key players Anthony Davis and Kyrie Irving, finally snapped their three-game skid with a thrilling victory over the Blazers. This is a much-needed morale booster for a team that's been struggling on offense, especially with both their offensive stars sidelined. 

But the Mavs will rely on their third-best defensive rating to keep up with the Timberwolves' offense. This could be a tight game, although the Timberwolves remain the favorites. Our prediction for the Minnesota Timberwolves vs Dallas Mavericks match is: Mavericks (+14.5) cover the spread.
