Minnesota Timberwolves vs Washington Wizards Prediction and Betting Tips | Jan. 13, 2025

For the first time this season, the Minnesota Timberwolves vs Washington Wizards matchup is happening. The Timberwolves have surprisingly lost seven of their last 10 games against the Wizards. However, the Wizards have established themselves as one of the worst teams in the NBA this season.

Minnesota has been building some momentum recently before the loss to the Memphis Grizzlies in their previous game. They have a record of 20-18, which is good enough for eighth in the Western Conference standings.

Meanwhile, the Wizards own the worst record in the NBA at 6-31. They have been terrible this season and could end up having the worst year in franchise history. The only saving grace is they might get the first overall pick in the draft, which is headlined by Duke's Cooper Flagg.
