However, their offense remains average, sitting at 15th overall in offensive rating.<\/p>\n<p>The Memphis Grizzlies, meanwhile, have solidified their home-court advantage in the West, though injury concerns persist.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019ve won two straight games against the San Antonio Spurs and will look to continue their strong form as they return home after a four-game road trip to face the Timberwolves.<\/p>\n<p>Memphis boasts the fifth-best offense and sixth-best defense in the league.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h3>Minnesota Timberwolves vs Memphis Grizzlies predicted starting lineups<\/h3>\n<p>For the Timberwolves, Terrence Shannon is out with an ankle injury, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/basketball\/donte-divincenzo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Donte DiVincenzo<\/a> is questionable due to a toe issue.<\/p>\n<p>For the Grizzlies, Vince Williams Jr. is out with an ankle injury, Cam Spencer is out with a thumb injury, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/basketball\/marcus-smart\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Marcus Smart<\/a> is out with a finger injury and Gregory Jackson is out with a foot injury. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/basketball\/ja-morant\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Ja Morant<\/a> is listed as questionable due to a foot issue.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Timberwolves<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>G &#8211;<\/strong> Mike Conley | <strong>G &#8211; <\/strong>Anthony Edwards | <strong>F &#8211; <\/strong>Jaden McDaniels | <strong>F &#8211;<\/strong> Julius Randle | <strong>C &#8211;<\/strong> Rudy Gobert<\/p>\n<p><strong>Grizzlies<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>G &#8211;<\/strong> Desmond Bane | <strong>G &#8211; <\/strong>Luke Kennard | <strong>F &#8211; <\/strong>Jaylen Wells | <strong>F &#8211;<\/strong> Jaren Jackson Jr. | <strong>C &#8211;<\/strong> Zach Edey<\/p>\n<p><strong>Editor&#8217;s note:<\/strong> <em>These are the predicted lineups and could change based on the availability of players.<\/em><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h3>Minnesota Timberwolves vs Memphis Grizzlies betting props<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Desmond Bane to score over 19.5 points is -121 on Caesars. He\u2019s expected to surpass this mark.<\/li>\n<li>Julius Randle to score under 21.5 points is -113 on Caesars. He\u2019s expected to fall short of this total.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr\/>\n<h3>Minnesota Timberwolves vs Memphis Grizzlies prediction<\/h3>\n<p>The Memphis Grizzlies are accustomed to playing without key players, and their overall stronger team composition makes them the favorite against the unpredictable Timberwolves. We predict the Grizzlies will win and cover the spread for their third consecutive victory, with or without Ja Morant.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-post-rating-widget\">\n<p><template id=\"post-rating-feedback-modal-template\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-feedback-box\">\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-content\">\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-data\">\n<p>Why did you not like this content?<\/p>\n<p><textarea id=\"dislike-feedback-text\" rows=\"4\" placeholder=\"Please type your feedback...\"\/>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<button class=\"close\">Cancel<\/button><br \/>\n<button class=\"submit\">Submit<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-widget-parent hidden\">\n<div class=\"rating-parent-container\">\n<div class=\"rating-content-holder\">\n<p>Was this article helpful?<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-action-container\">\n<div class=\"like-container\">\n<button class=\"post-rating-like-button post-rating-button\" data-action=\"like\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"post-like-image post-rating-image\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/like-articles\/upvote-icon-grey.svg\" height=\"20\" width=\"20\" alt=\"like selected\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"dislike-container\">\n<button class=\"post-rating-dislike-button post-rating-button\" data-action=\"dislike\"><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"post-dis-like-image post-rating-image\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/like-articles\/upvote-icon-grey.svg\" height=\"20\" width=\"20\" alt=\"avatar selected\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\nThank You for feedback\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"tag-cloud\">\n<div class=\"tags-text\">\n<div class=\"scrollable-content-holder  article-padding\">\n<p class=\"article-p  \">Quick Links<\/p>\n<p><button id=\"pnAdvancerLeft\" class=\"pn-Advancer pn-Advancer_Left \" type=\"button\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" style=\"background: none;\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/skm\/assets\/article\/article-scroll-left.svg\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button><\/p>\n<nav id=\"pnProductNav\" class=\"pn-ProductNav\">\n<\/nav>\n<p><button id=\"pnAdvancerRight\" class=\"pn-Advancer pn-Advancer_Right \" type=\"button\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" style=\"background: none;\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/skm\/assets\/article\/article-scroll-right.svg\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<p>More from Sportskeeda<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<span class=\"publisher-name\">Edited by John Ezekiel Hirro<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script> \nvar fbPixelFired = false;\nvar pixelID = \"952063904834769\";\ndocument.addEventListener(\"scroll\", loadFBPixel, { once: true, passive: true });\ndocument.addEventListener(\"mousemove\", loadFBPixel, { once: true, passive: true });\nfunction loadFBPixel() {\nif(fbPixelFired) {\nreturn;\n}\nfbPixelFired = true;\n!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s){if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?
