The Toronto Raptors will take on the Minnesota Timberwolves after sinking the Milwaukee Bucks last night. They may have to do so without Kyle Lowry, who missed last night’s game with a thumb injury, but he has been upgraded from out to questionable for tonight’s contest. If you’re looking an edge on the NBA betting picks market for the contest, I’m here to break down the best odds across the market.

Raptors vs. Timberwolves Game Info
Toronto Raptors (14-15) at Minnesota Timberwolves (7-22)
Date: Friday, Feb. 19, 2021
Start Time: 9 p.m. EST
Venue: Target Center — Minneapolis, Minn.
The Raptors throttled the Bucks last night, and they can thank Norman Powell and Pascal Siakam for their dominant performances. The two players combined for 56 points, over half of Toronto’s total score. They’re starting to get things turned around after a slow start to the year, but they still have the NBA’s seventh-worst record against the spread: 13-16. In contrast, the Timberwolves’ 14-14-1 record ranks 12th-best. Minnesota even toppled Toronto by a four-point margin last Sunday.
As for the game total, trends point to some slight value on the over. Toronto’s 58.6% over percentage ranks seventh, but Minnesota’s 48.3% over percentage 11th-worst, so it’s no slam-dunk play — especially with one team on the wrong end of a back-to-back.

There is less consensus on the total than on the point spread for this matchup. If you expect a low-scoring game, FanDuel Sportsbook has the highest total (226). That said, you can get much better juice (+100) at PointsBet if you are willing to burn a half-point. Should you expect a high-scoring game, SugarHouse, DraftKings Sportsbook and William Hill have the lowest totals paired with near-even juice. Again, Lowry’s status may influence these lines, so double-check OddsShopper before placing your bet to confirm that you’re still getting the best deal.
