Minnesota Timberwolves 2025-26 NBA Betting Lines
Following a berth in the 2025 Western Conference Finals, the Minnesota Timberwolves had an offseason that was not bad but hardly impactful. Between 2005 through 2021, the Minnesota Timberwolves made the NBA Playoffs only once. However, the Timberwolves are coming off their fourth consecutive playoff campaign in 2024-25. Head coach Chris Finch has proven to be a perfect fit and a resourceful leader. Last year, Finch capably found workarounds for the loss of Karl Anthony Towns, who was a key factor in Minnesota's ability to reach the playoffs and the 2024 Western Conference Finals. Now, the question is whether Minnesota can continue its viability as a serious Western Conference contender.

Off-Season Moves for 2025-26
Key additions: Joan Beringer
Key subtractions: Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Luka Garza, Josh Minott
The Timberwolves did well to re-sign both Julius Randle and Naz Reid, something not everyone expected from a team that was staring the salary cap's second apron in the face. That crunch did cost them Nickeil Alexander-Walker, another key contributor to their most recent run to the Western Conference finals.
Minnesota will instead depend on the internal development of its recent first-round picks, including this year's selection, Joan Beringer, to carry it forward into more serious title contention. That is not such a bad strategy when 23-year-old phenom Anthony Edwards is at the forefront of that rising development.
After trading Towns, the Timberwolves were able to manage their payroll to bring back the bulk of the team that had reached the past two conference finals. A new contract for Randle means he and Donte DiVincenzo get a combined $43 million, far less than the $53 million Towns will make. Minnesota did have to let Alexander-Walker leave via sign-and-trade, opting instead to prioritize the 2023-24 Sixth Man Award winner Reid. Reid's five-year, $125 million contract could be an overpay if he is unable to grow beyond a bench role.
Key Players
In 2024-25, SG Anthony Edwards led Minnesota with 27.6 points and 5.7 rebounds per game. Edwards was the first overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft out of Georgia. He is a 3-time NBA All-Star, including this year. Edwards has averaged 21 or more points per game in the past three seasons.
F/C Julius Randle was the 7th overall pick of the 2014 NBA Draft out of Kentucky by the Los Angeles Lakers. He arrived in a trade from the New York Knicks for this season. Randle is a 3-time NBA All-Star. This past season, he averaged 18.7 points and 7.1 rebounds per game.
Head Coach
Head coach Chris Finch has transformed the Wolves into a credible franchise. Before taking over in 2021, Finch was an NBA assistant for several teams from 2011 to 2021. Finch has a career record of 209-160 in the regular season and 12-15 in the playoffs.

Minnesota Timberwolves History
The worst historical franchise in the current NBA is the Minnesota Timberwolves. They are the one franchise with an all-time win/loss record under .400, and they have been in the league for over three decades.
Minnesota was a feared team in the Kevin Garnett era, as they made the NBA Playoffs every year from 1997 through 2004. Head coach Flip Saunders and Garnett proved to be a strong tandem that made it to the 2004 Western Conference Finals, but that has proved to be the franchise's peak. They were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs for seven straight seasons before that lone breakthrough.
Since 2004, the Minnesota Timberwolves have qualified for the postseason only twice. They have been dreadful most years and haven’t won more than 47 games in a season in that stretch. However, they doubled their wins from 2020-21 to 2021-22 and may finally be ready to compete again.

Wager Cash Out - How it works
With the Cash Out feature you can choose to eliminate a wager that's already been placed, and receive back either a portion, or your full stake amount.

In order to see if a wager is eligible to be cashed out, simply navigate to your Bet Slip and check the 'My Open Bets' tab. If eligible, the Cash Out button will be displayed.
It’s also important to note that Cash Out is not contributing to any bonus or promotion including Bet Point accumulation and Rollover for releasing bonus cash.
