The Toronto Raptors welcome the Minnesota Timberwolves into town for the last game before Thursday's NBA trade deadline.
The pregame narrative: Toronto is reportedly looking to add a big name tomorrow, meaning this could be the last time Immanuel Quickley or RJ Barrett suit up for the Raptors. Minnesota has won four of its last five games and is laying 2.5 points on the road.

Timberwolves vs. Raptors prop picks
Best bet: Gobert double-double (+138)
Jakob Poeltl is one name circulating the rumour mill.
The oft-injured centre hasn't played since Dec. 21, and has been floated in a package with Barrett that could potentially return Domantas Sabonis.
But that's neither here nor there. Poeltl is out, meaning Gobert should run roughshod on the glass.
-> Bet on Rudy Gobert against the Raptors tonight!
The Frenchman is averaging 11.3 rebounds per game (second in the NBA) and has double-digit boards in 22 of his last 25 games. I'm not worried about the rebounding portion of this bet tonight.
Scoring 10 points should be the challenge against a Raptors team allowing the fifth-fewest PPG to opposing centres, per Fantasy Pros.
But Gobert may have an increased role with Anthony Edwards (elbow) and Julius Randle (thumb) questionable.
Even if they are in the lineup, I like his chances of reaching this total.
Gobert has double-digit points in 27 of his 49 starts, falling one basket shy another 10 times. He also has fantastic numbers against the Raptors.
Key stat: Gobert has recorded eight straight double-doubles against Toronto.
Best Raptors prop bet
Mamukelashvili over 10.5 points (-112): Mamukelashvili will rotate with Collin Murray-Boyles at centre this evening, but the Raps are playing a positionally-agnostic frontcourt with Scottie Barnes in the mix.
That's why acquiring Sabonis makes sense, but again, I digress.
Mamukelashvili has been playing big minutes since Jan. 1 with encouraging results:
- 26.3 MPG
- 13.1 PPG
- 54.5 FG%
He has gone over this mark in nine of 15 games since the new year.

Minnesota has allowed the sixth-most PPG to opposing centres this year, so I'm confident Mamukelashvili can get his licks in.
