Timberwolves vs Cavaliers Betting Prediction

Here is our Timberwolves vs Cavaliers Betting prediction.

The Minnesota Timberwolves play host to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday night from Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse in a showdown between top teams in the Eastern and Western Conference. Minnesota enters this one with the top record in the West, while Cleveland sits third in the East, though is only three games behind them.

These two have to meet this season, though Minnesota has won the last three in the series, including a home-and-away sweep across two games last season. Injuries could make this one interesting and there remains little doubt that this could end up being the best game on Friday’s slate.

Minnesota Timberwolves Betting Prediction

Here is the Timberwolves vs Cavaliers Betting prediction for Minnesota.

As we already said, Minnesota is in first place in the Western Conference. They’ve been able to stay there by playing well away from home. With a 20-11 record on the road, they have one of the best records in the NBA. This has given them confidence that will only grow as the season ends.

Last time out, they ended a short two-game losing streak. Now, after playing seven straight home games, they’ll be going on a long road trip. With everyone so close at the top of the standings, they can’t afford to lose any games. They’ll want to get off to a good start with a win in this one.

But injuries could come into play in this one, as four Timberwolves players are on the report after not playing on Thursday. Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) missed that one, and it’s still not clear if he will be able to play in this game in Cleveland. Some other players have come and gone, but Towns is the one to keep an eye on because they are just backup.

Their attack has been fine, and being able to slow down the game has helped them be more effective this season. They are third in the country in making three-point shots, which is something they’ll be trying to carry over to this game on the road. On the other hand, this group has done its best on defense.

In almost every defensive measure, they are in the top five. They can also get to the boards, which will help them against a good Cleveland frontcourt. Tony Edwards (26.1 ppg) has become a star in the league, and Rudy Gobert (12.8 rpg) can help fill in for Towns in the frontcourt even if they aren’t able to play. Minnesota has a great chance in this one because they have a lot of players in key spots.

Cleveland Cavaliers Betting Prediction

Now we have the Timberwolves vs Cavaliers Betting prediction for Cleveland.

Rising to almost the top of the Eastern Conference has been one of the best stories of the NBA season. They are going to try to win this game with the trust they’ve built up.

As a result of illness, this team has only won two of their last five games.

They lost their last game away from home, but they have one of the best home records in the NBA, so they should be able to get back on track. They have won 21 games at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse and lost 11. After this game, they have two more home games.

At this point in the season, they should be able to get back to the form that helped them move up in the ranks in the first half.

And as we already said, Cleveland has been having a tough time lately because of illnesses. Things will only get worse from now on. Max Strus (knee) is no longer out, but is now at least uncertain. Two players will still be out for at least a few more weeks, though.

Evan Mobley (ankle) and Donovan Mitchell (knee) have become a great pair, but Cleveland won’t be able to get past that since both will miss time.

This year, the defense has set the tone for both Minnesota and Cleveland. The attack is what this game is all about. As things stand, the Cavaliers might not be able to handle Minnesota’s strong defense. It would be tough for them to do so even if everyone was okay.

They will miss Mitchell and Mobley’s 43 points per game, which will make Darius Garland (18.2 points per game) and Jarrett Allen (15.9 points per game) have to work more hard.

That’s still a big question. If other people step up, they might not miss a beat at home.

Timberwolves vs Cavaliers Betting Prediction

They need to win this away game against the Kings, and injuries will make that hard. Even though Towns isn’t going to play, they have a lot of other strong players. It’s likely that Cleveland can’t handle Mitchell and Mobley being out for too long, though.

They can still use their best scorer, and Gobert can make up for the frontcourt players they are likely to lose. One important player is out for Cleveland in the frontcourt, and the other is out for them in the backcourt.

Even more so since their second unit has been having trouble lately, this will affect the whole team. Six of the last seven times these two teams have played, Minnesota has won by more than two points. That will stay the same in their first game of the season.
