Minnesota Timberwolves – Brooklyn Nets.
Estadio: Target Center (Minneapolis)
Minnesota will play Brooklyn after losing to Milwaukee in a back-to-back format. Will the Timberwolves do better this time? Let’s choose three options for betting on this game at once.
In the game against Milwaukee, the key was the third quarter, where the Timberwolves failed 2-20 and fell behind by 17 points. In the fourth segment, Chris Finch’s team was unable to overcome this advantage and ended up losing 107-112. At the same time, we note that Minnesota was weaker than the Bucks in assists and shots in the game, but surpassed its rival in rebounds: 52-47.
This loss ended Minnesota’s four-game winning streak. The Wolves have once again allowed Oklahoma to catch up to them and now share first place in the Western Conference table with the Thunder. Both teams are 39-17.
The Nets played their first game after a break in the championship on the road against Toronto and lost to the weak Raptors in every way: 93-121. Brooklyn’s team made less than 30% of their three-pointers, only gave 19 assists and lost to their rival in rebounds: 39-45.
Thus, Jacques Vaughn’s team suffered its sixth defeat in a stretch of the last seven games. Brooklyn’s tournament prospects in the final stretch of the championship raise big questions.

Data to take into account
- In 4 of the previous 6 games between Minnesota and Brooklyn they did not reach the 217 point mark.
- Brooklyn has lost 9 of the last 11 road games.
- Brooklyn scored fewer than 104 points in 4 of the previous 7 games.

The forecast for the match
The loss to Milwaukee motivates Minnesota and, even despite the back-to-back, the Timberwolves will surely beat Brooklyn. The Nets have been losing almost all of their games lately, as if they’ve finally abandoned the playoff chase. We are betting on a convincing victory for Minnesota.
Also, let’s take “total less than” in points and assists. Minnesota approaches the next game maintaining its status as the best defense of the season, but Brooklyn also has good indicators of neutralizing the opponent’s “assists.”
Our forecast is that the total assists are less than 51.5 with an odds of 1,782.
Our second prediction is a victory for Minnesota with a handicap (-8) with an odds of 1.91.
