Minnesota Timberwolves

Minnesota have lost their last two games of the regular season. The Timberwolves lost on their parquet to Utah (125:126) and away to the leader of the Western Conference Denver (118:122). However, before that, Chris Finch's team beat Phoenix (121:116) and Cleveland (110:102) at home. With 22 wins and 24 losses, Minnesota is 10th in the West.

Rebounding leader Rudy Gobert will not be able to help his team. The 30-year-old French center has already missed one match due to injury.

Toronto Raptors

Toronto lost in the last two out of three matches. The Canadian club lost at home to Atlanta (103:114) and away to the second team of the East Milwaukee (122:130). On January 16th, the Raptors defeated New York in overtime on the road (123:122). Toronto is 11th in the East with 20 wins and 25 losses.

The Raptors go into the game without losses. All leaders are healthy and eager to fight. Including the best in the team in all three main indicators Pascal Siakam.

Prediction

Toronto is coming into the match as the clear favorite. Teams have not yet met in the current league season. The Raptors defeated Minnesota twice last season. The Timberwolves, without Gobert on the defensive side, will have a hard time getting a positive result at home. The team simply does not have a worthy replacement for the Frenchman. Toronto will have to take three points on the road in a close fight.

Our prediction is a victory for Toronto with a handicap of (-2.5) points for 1.75.

Face-to-face meetings of teams, as a rule, are not very productive. In the last two matches out of three, the mark of 205 points was not overcome. Minnesota is averaging 117 points in home games and Toronto is 111 away. Everything goes to the fact that this time the basketball players will not be able to please the fans with a productive game.

Our prediction is under 222.5 total with 1.99 overtime.
