Betting on the Minnesota Timberwolves
- Regular Season Record: 35-36
Although they haven’t always had the best results, the Timberwolves have managed to put in some very good performances in recent weeks, such as their 104-102 loss to the Boston Celtics last Wednesday.The team knows it needs to start winning more if it does not want to jeopardize its playoff hopes, given that they are 7th in the Western Conference, but only 2.5 games behind the thirteenth-placed team.
However, playing away is not the best scenario for them to kick off that mission, considering they have a record of 15 wins and 19 losses on the road. Moreover, the team lost its last game to the Chicago Bulls 131-139 in two overtimes. The Timberwolves have had many problems on defense playing away, with an average of 116.2 points against per game.
Betting on the Toronto Raptors
- Regular Season Record: 34-36
After a difficult trip away from home in which they won only one of five games, the Raptors have returned home in great shape, winning their last two games thanks to a very good offensive performance. Those wins have put the Raptors once again in eighth place in the Eastern Conference, but just one game out of seventh place.
The most recent of the Canadian team’s victories came against the Oklahoma City Thunder, in a game in which they dominated almost from the beginning and ended up winning 111-118. Paskal Siakam was the team’s leading scorer with 25 points, and was part of six players who scored at least 16 points for the Raptors in that clash.
JefeBet Prediction
Even away from home, the Timberwolves have shown many strengths recently, being much more solid on defense and with an offense led by Anthony Edwards, who is playing at an excellent level. However, they will face this game without their star player, who suffered a sprain in the game against Chicago. The team has also played the night before, something that always takes its toll, when playing away.
As if that weren’t enough, they will face a Raptors team that, despite its ups and downs, has been a great home team this season with a 22-13 record and an average of 110.7 points allowed per game.
This will be a very close game until the end. However, taking into account their moment they are currently going through, and that they will be a little more well-rested, we expect the Raptors to be the ones to prevail and take the victory in this game.
Prediction: Toronto Raptors Spread (MIN 112-120 TOR).
