Betting on the Minnesota Timberwolves
The Timberwolves have been going through a positive streak, and they have gained ground back in their conference. Now they are in the hunt for the Utah Jazz, but in order to succeed in that, they must keep winning, and what better than doing so against one of the best teams this season? That would tremendously raise their confidence .
They have achieved three wins in a row with Anthony Edwards going through a great moment. Against Chicago, against which they achieved a 150-126 victory, he scored 37 points and dished out 11 assists, and against the Dallas Mavericks, a game they won 116-106, he had another double-double with 27 points and 13 rebounds.
Minnesota needs to keep winning because they lost some distance when they lost 3 consecutive games prior to their current positive streak. It can’t keep leaving gaps if it wants to secure a postseason spot.
Betting on Boston Celtics
Although they remain as one of the best teams in the NBA due to their record, their present is looking so great, they have won only one of their last five games. They lost the Eastern Conference lead, something we all thought unlikely a few weeks ago when they were performing at their best.
The offense continues to be owned by Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum.Between the two of them, they are scoring almost 60% of the Celtics’ points. In the win against the Los Angeles Lakers, by a score of 122-118, Tatum scored 44 points and Brown pulled down 15 rebounds.
But the one who is also participating is Marcus Smart who is averaging 7.3 assists per game. He is being very lucid in his turnovers and this makes Boston dangerous, the problem is that in the losses they have had, the defense falls down and they lose the lead in the last periods. Fatigue is taking its toll.
JefeBet Prediction
Boston will rise again. We believe they will defeat the Timberwolves even though the Minnesota team are going through a better moment. The reason to believe this is that Boston has a better team, which is currently suffering from fatigue. They continue to score a lot, close to 118.2 points per game, one of the highest averages in the league.
The Celtics have had a rough patch that they need to snap out of as they look to return to the Finals that eluded them last season. Salute to Stephen Curry.
