The Timberwolves come into this matchup WELL RESTED, having played just one game since the 21st. After a strong playoff run last season, they’ve struggled early, sitting at 8-8 but have been SOLID at home, going 5-2 to start the year.
Meanwhile, the Rockets have been INCONSISTENT on the road, scoring just 110 points per game away from Houston. The Timberwolves average OVER 114 points per game at home and have a balanced roster with elite scorers like Anthony Edwards and Julius Randle and DEFENSIVE ANCHORS like Rudy Gobert.
The Rockets have OVERACHIEVED early this season, but the Timberwolves are the more talented team. If Minnesota can limit production from Alperen Sengun, Jalen Green, and Fred VanVleet, they SHOULD get back over .500 tonight!
Best Line: -158 on FanDuel at the time of this post.
