Minnesota Timberwolves
Minnesota has been doing well this season. To get into the playoffs, the team urgently needs to improve their game. The Timberwolves, with 11 wins and 12 losses, are 11th in the Western Conference standings. The team from Minneapolis lost to Oklahoma City (128:135) in the last match on their parquet. Before this, Memphis was beaten at home (109:101). In the infirmary of the team there is only a substitute player, small forward Thorin Prince. All leaders of the Timberwolves are healthy and ready to take part in the match.
Indiana Pacers
Indiana in the last match away beat “Golden State” (112:104). However, before that there were three defeats in a row. The Pacers lost away to Sacramento (114:137), Utah (119:139) and Portland (100:116). Rick Carlyle’s team ranks fourth in the East. Starting five player Tyris Haliburton will miss the third match due to injury. The participation in the game of Miles Turner, the best rebounder on the team, is questionable.
Prediction
Indiana has already lost once to Minnesota at home this season. It's hard to believe the Pacers can score three points on the road. Moreover, the injured Haliburton and, possibly, Turner will miss the game. Yes, and bookmakers prefer the Timberwolves. Minnesota needs to win in front of their fans. Our prediction is the victory of Minnesota with a handicap (-3.5) points for 1.74 Face-to-face meetings of teams, as a rule, are not very productive.
