Squirrel’s Nuts & Bolts NBA - December 17th, 2025

The very light NBA schedule continues on Wednesday with two games tipping off at 8 PM ET. Memphis travels to Minnesota, where the Timberwolves are favored by 8.5 points in a game with a total of 229.5 points. Meanwhile, Cleveland is a 5.5-point favorite visiting Chicago in a game with a total of 241.5 points. The injury news is significant, with Anthony Edwards, Ayo Dosunmu, and Brandon Clarke listed as Questionable, while Ja Morant is doubtful. I’ve written this article assuming all the Questionable players will play, but we should have word on their status before lock, with both games tipping off at the same time.
