The Mavericks are coming into this game playing very well recently and they are coming off of 2 straight wins. They smashed the Rockets by close to 20 points in their last game and they even beat the Timberwolves by 2 points at home prior to that win against the Rockets. The Mavericks have not played well on the road recently though and they have lost their last 2 games on the road. They also beat the Timberwolves 3 days ago so that loss is likely still burning a hole in the minds of the Timberwolves and they will try to come out strong in this game. The Timberwolves have lost their last 2 games straight with 1 loss coming against the Mavericks and the other coming against the Suns in their last game. They will be hungry for a bounce back win after blowing a double digit lead at home against the Suns and then going on to lose the game by 9 points. They also came very close to beating the Mavericks the other night on the road and now that they are at home, they are sure to get their revenge. Luka Doncic has also been banged up recently for the Mavericks so the Timberwolves are getting them at home at a very good time. The Timberwolves should get their revenge here and win this game at home but by single digits.
