Game Preview
Minnesota Timberwolves won nine of their last 13 games, so we see them slowly recovering in the standings and moving toward the NBA playoff zone. A big morale boost was a 116-101 win over the OKC Thunder just before the All-Star break.
Anthony Edwards leads the Timberwolves with 27.5 points per game, which ranks him No. 5 on the top-scoring list. He recently had back-to-back 40+ point games against the Cavaliers and the Rockets.
Houston is the top rebounding team in the NBA, with 48 boards per game. Their physicality is hard to match, especially under the rim, where all the players go after the basketball.
They haven’t been very good in recent games, allowing seven defeats in the previous nine outings. Further proof of their struggling form is that the Rockets went 0-6 AGAINST THE SPREAD in the previous half-dozen events.
Timberwolves vs. Rockets Head to Head
As stated, the Timberwolves lead 12-2 in the last 14 matches. The result in this season’s series is 2-1 for Minnesota.
Timberwolves vs. Rockets Predictions
Timberwolves love playing against the Rockets, though this event will be in Houston. Remember, the last time these teams played, there were some flares on the floor, and that’s why we believe this event will be much tougher than the previous ones. Pick Under 228.5 points.
