The 2022-23 NBA regular season is moving at a frenetic pace, and this Friday, February 3, one of the most interesting games that will be the Magic vs Timberwolves. On this clash, the home team will be looking to ratify its good performance.
Minnesota has had a disappointing performance for much of the season, but the team has recently managed to bounce back on its feet, and it is in the contention for the Play-In tournament in the Western Conference. On the other hand, Orlando has been an inconsistent team all season, which is something to be expected considering it has such a young roster that is full of potential.
Without further ado, here at JefeBet, we bring you everything you need to know about this Orlando Magic vs Minnesota Timberwolves game, where Paolo Banchero and Anthony Edwards will be facing each other.

Betting on the Orlando Magic
- Regular Season Record: 20-31
The Orlando Magic team defeated a powerful Philadelphia team this week, which is a clear sign of how good this team could be in the future when its young players learn to be consistent.
Also, Paolo Banchero seems to be on track to win the Rookie of the Year award, thanks to his averages of 20.7 points, 6.4 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 43.3% shooting from the field and 31.6% three-point shooting.
Collectively, Orlando has struggled to score in its games, and now ranks 26th in the NBA with an average points per game of 111.3. The team also rank 26th in assists per game with an average of 22.8.
Betting on the Minnesota Timberwolves
- Regular Season Record: 27-26
The Minnesota Timberwolves recently reported that Karl-Anthony Towns does not have an exact return date, but the team said that it hopes to have him back at some point of the home stretch it will be playing this season.
Towns’ absence means that Anthony Edwards will continue to command Minnesota’s offense. In the month of January, the star point guard finished with averages of 27.3 points, 5.9 rebounds, 4.9 assists, 46.7% shooting from the field and 39.4 on three-point shooting.
JefeBet Prediction
The Minnesota Timberwolves defeated the Orlando Magic 126-108 in the previous clash between the two this current season.
Meanwhile, Orlando is an interesting team with promising players for the future, but like any team without a lot of experience, its players are not good at playing away, a condition in which the team has a 7-16 record.
Despite the absence of Towns, the Timberwolves are still the better team and, at JefeBet, we believe they will prevail again against the Florida team.
Prediction: Minnesota Timberwolves Spread.
