The current betting odds have the Timberwolves listed as a 1 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Timberwolves got out to a really rough start this season as they made a lot of big moves in the off-season but they didn't pay off as their team had to deal with a lot of issues on the court. Those deals are starting to look a lot better now though as the Timberwolves have been gaining some steam lately with a few wins and they have been playing much better together as a team in their games. The Pacers have also found a lot of success lately as they have been on a big run winning 5 games in a row now and they only have 1 loss in their last 10 games. The Pacers have been playing so well lately that they are now a top 5 team in the Eastern Conference right now, but they still don't have a ton of talent on this team and their recent play is not going to hold up for long. The Timberwolves have a lot of better players on their team and now that they are getting hot in their games lately, there is no reason why they wouldn't win this game since they are a much better team. The best way to place a bet here is on the Timberwolves to cover the spread in this game.

“We just didn’t play very hard. Got to play harder. We’ve been playing harder. We didn’t have a lot of juice in the first half, and I don’t know exactly why. Sometimes when you come back from a road trip that’s how it is. It’s one of the things in the NBA that happens.” - Chris Finch after his team’s win against the Heat in their game on Monday.

 

 

“It's gritty, it's who we're trying to be. The crowd was into it. It was a fun game to win.” - Rick Carlisle after his team’s win against the Magic in their game on Saturday.
