Portland vs Minnesota Bets get NBA bettors into the month of March. Yes, basketball draws ever closer to the NBA playoffs. So, we look one of the top teams in the Western Conference right now. Yes, Bovada online sportsbook gives us some solid props and that 14-point spread. Also, could Minnesota blow out Portland Monday night? Expect an angry Minnesota team ready to hammer a lesser Trail Blazers squad..
NBA Monday From Minnesota | ![]() | ![]() | ![]() |
---|---|---|---|
Portland Trail Blazers | -110 | -110 | -110 |
Minnesota Timberwolves (-14) | -110 | -110 | -110 |
Portland vs Minnesota Bets howl at the wolves in this Monday night tilt. Now, it appeared Minnesota should have been able to pull out a win against the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday afternoon. However, give the Clippers credit. They played a whale of a road game defensively to pull out a one-point victory at Target Center. Sadly, the Timberwolves left their home arena with a nasty taste in their mouths.
Simply, Minnesota let the Clippers back into this game in the second quarter. From there, both teams struggled to find their offense. Los Angeles turned the ball over six fewer times and that was enough of a difference to win by the slimmest of margins. It was good, physical playoff basketball. Both teams shot under 40% and barely mustered 40+ points in the second half.
CLIPPERS WIN! Los Angeles Clippers win a ‘Battle of the West’ type game against the Minnesota Timberwolves, 89-88! 💪

Alright, Minnesota has dropped consecutive games but do not expect them to lose a third straight contest on Monday night. There is coming in angry and then there is coming in irate. Now, Minnesota expects to be irate and they already blew out Portland at home by 30+ points earlier in the season. It was a game where Portland could not even muster 100 points. They may struggle again for offense.
Sadly shopping around did not get us anything nicer than that 14-point spread. However, it matters little. There lie plenty of avenues to attack this game even with the high spread. The Trail Blazers are awful on the road. With only 17 wins on the season, even a back-to-back sweep of Memphis offers much to move the needle. Expect Minnesota to take care of business and blow out Portland.
Yes, Portland vs Minnesota bets start trying to prop things up for Monday. So, this is all because NBA Online Prop Bets take on the challenges few bettors want to touch with a ten-foot pole. Again, the Kyle Larson tour-de-force on Sunday in Vegas was predictable and paid +450. Thankfully, timing was good because that number shortened to +225. This helps us take a few wagers on the Timberwolves.
So, the props bless us with a few interesting choices. If we try to take a bigger swing, the Timberwolves are now +195 to score 120 or more points on Monday. Do not laugh. Minnesota almost hit 130 the last time these two teams met at Target Center. Expecting 127 points seems unlikely but something in the 120-125 range is still possible. One can slid back several points and still get plus money. Even the Over of 115.5 is now +110.
I fear the Minnesota Timberwolves may not be built for postseason hoops, sadly

These games shape a team and the belief is that Minnesota comes out with a snarl on their faces Monday night. Will it translate to postseason success? That part does not matter now. All bettors care about is the next game. Karl-Anthony Towns easily figures to top 30 points. Check that prop out because the Over 29.5 should be one to take. Also, watch for those three-point props.
So, that +110 number for the Team Over at 115.5 in the Portland vs Minnesota Bets is a safer wager here. Yes, the props will keep rolling in as Monday goes on. Again, the Game Over at 213.5 is at -110 currently. Do not tease that too high just yet. Let’s enjoy that big wager at a whopping +195
Portland vs Minnesota bets go for some distance. Now, with some of the crazier results of the sports weekend, it gives us the chance to take more risks on Monday. By the way, Max Verstappen and Kyle Larson parlay paid out at plus money once again. It is the second year a few sportsbooks offered it. This time the Vegas/Bahrain double worked. Last Monday went splendidly well from the NBA side. Let us see if we can do it again.
Player points could be fun but we will stay away from that for now. The race to 30 points for Minnesota is at +115. That will be one to take and one bettors hit on Sunday as well. Now, the difference is Portland will not have the firepower to get physical with the Timberwolves. That allows the Timberwolves to keep pushing the tempo. The neither for 30 points is at a mere -130 in the final stanza. Interesting.
Okay, let us go back to those pesky team props too. Can Portland score 100 points? It is a great question. They managed a meager 91 the last time these two squads clashed at Target Center. Under 100 is about -110. However, Under 95.5 points rolls in at +155. If there was a wager to toss a few dollars on, this may be it. Minnesota can impose their will on Portland then cruise to victory.
Monday NBA Online betting odds like the Nets too. Besides those Portland vs Minnesota Bets, take a look at Oklahoma City to upset the Lakers too. Good luck on this night!
