Washington Wizards vs Minnesota Timberwolves 1/1/2021 Betting Odds
Washington Wizards BettingThe Washington Wizards have been struggling to tally their first win of the season in their first five matchups. Russell Westbrook looks to be his former OKC Thunder form giving the team four triple-doubles for the season already. But his teammates need to follow pursuit and play defense. Bradley Beal had 24 points to support Westbrook during their last match against the Chicago Bulls and they even had Rui Hachimura coming back in the team doing 17 points, five rebounds, and two three-pointers. Thomas Bryant had 25 points and shot perfectly from the field but this team really needs to find a way to get some stops on the defensive end. Players to watch: B.

Minnesota Timberwolves BettingThe Minnesota Timberwolves were off to a good start but Karl-Anthony Towns got injured. The team felt the loss of their All-Star center immediately and lost their next two games against the two teams based in Los Angeles.

Ricky Rubio also had a good night doing 17 points and five assists. Top rookie Anthony Edwards screams more minutes as he tallied 12 points in 24 minutes. Naz Reid tried his best to fill in Towns’ position but he only had 11 points and three boards. Players to Watch: K.
