Wed Mar 05 22:50:00 UTC 2025: **Timberwolves’ DiVincenzo Expected to Explode from Three Against Hornets**

CHARLOTTE, NC – Donte DiVincenzo’s return from injury has reignited his three-point prowess, and analysts predict a big night for the Minnesota Timberwolves guard against the Charlotte Hornets on Wednesday. Despite the Timberwolves playing on the second night of a back-to-back, sports betting expert Douglas Farmer of Covers.com is highlighting DiVincenzo’s Over 3.5 made threes (+115 odds) as a strong bet.

Farmer’s analysis points to DiVincenzo’s impressive shooting percentage (52.8%) since returning from a five-week absence and the Hornets’ league-worst defense against three-pointers since January 1st. He anticipates DiVincenzo, known for his long-range shooting ability comparable to Damian Lillard or Steph Curry, will take advantage of the ample space afforded by Charlotte’s porous defense.

The absence of Mike Conley due to rest further solidifies DiVincenzo’s starting role and projected playing time, increasing the likelihood of him attempting and making numerous three-pointers. Farmer even suggests that if DiVincenzo plays over 30 minutes, he could easily surpass 10 three-point attempts.

While acknowledging the Timberwolves’ tendency to struggle against weaker opponents and the fatigue factor from a back-to-back, Farmer also suggests a same-game parlay including Nickeil Alexander-Walker’s Over 2.5 made threes, capitalizing on the Hornets’ defensive vulnerability. The early struggles expected from a tired Timberwolves team could lead to more three-point attempts, rather than drives to the basket.

Despite the challenges, Minnesota has a strong recent record against the spread on the second night of back-to-backs, while Charlotte continues to struggle.
