Prediction
Bookmakers consider "Minnesota" the clear favorite in the upcoming match. It's worth agreeing with them. "Utah" still maintains mathematical chances of making it to the playoffs, but achieving this will be extremely difficult. As for the "Timberwolves," they need to improve their statistics to maintain their position in the upper part of the table and face weaker opponents in the cup stage of the tournament. Our prediction is a victory for "Minnesota" with a handicap (-6.5) points including overtime at odds of 1.72. "Minnesota" has shown low scoring efficiency this season. The average score is 113.3 points. And in away matches, it's even slightly higher at 114.7. This time, it seems that the game will be open. Chris Finch's team will be able to significantly load the basket against a weaker and less motivated opponent. Our prediction is an individual total score for "Minnesota" of over 115.5 points including overtime at odds of 2.02. Place a bet on the line of 1xBet with odds of 1.72.
