They have looked great on their home court too with their 22-11 home record this season. Meanwhile, the Magic have looked good in their games this season with their 33-28 record overall which has them right in the middle of the East. They haven't been a great road team though with their 13-15 road record this year. The Magic are 6-4 in their last 10 games and they haven't looked bad lately, but they have been really up and down for most of the year and have been hovering right above that .500 mark all season. They have some momentum on their side with 2 wins in a row now, but the wins were against 2 of the worst teams in the NBA. They have picked up some really good wins this season against elite teams, but they have also taken some really bad losses as they have been a bit of a wild card all year. Now they are on the road where they have struggled as a team all season, and they are facing one of the best teams in the West that is starting to look like it. The Timberwolves have been a contender in the NBA over the last few years now and they are starting to look more like that team lately. They have been rolling in their games as they are 8-2 in their last 10 and they have a ton of momentum on their side with 5 wins in a row now. The Timberwolves are the more talented team here that has looked great on their home court all season and they are starting to play like a true contender lately, look for the Timberwolves to continue rolling in this one. The best way to place a bet here is on the Timberwolves to cover the spread in this game.
