Cleveland meets Minnesota for the second time in three days when the two ball clubs play a home-and-home at the Rocket Arena on Saturday. Will the Cavs get revenge over the Timberwolves on their home court? Check out our match prediction below!
The Timberwolves ran out 131-122 winners in Minnesota on Thursday and the Cavaliers will be itching to set the record straight in this afternoon tip off time. The Cavs have slipped to eighth in the Eastern Conference and are now just three games above .500, a far-cry from the 64-18 team that topped the conference last season.
After putting together a promising three-game winning streak, only the third time this campaign that they’ve achieved that, Cleveland have now lost two of their last three following the defeat to Minnesota.
For the Timberwolves, Thursday’s win represented their fourth victory in a row. They were red-hot from behind the three-point line (20 for 38) and really exposed Cleveland’s struggles defending the perimeter.
The win moved them up to 25 wins on the season and they’re now 6.0 games back off of the first-place Thunder in the Western Conference. Minnesota finished 48-34 in the previous campaign and are on pace to crack the 50-win mark this season if they can keep up the same pace.

Our Cleveland Cavaliers vs Minnesota Timberwolves Prediction
The Cavs have really struggled against the number this season. Even though they come into this game as the favourites and have the revenge factor on their side, they’ve made tough work of putting teams away. Their average scoring margin is just +1.4, compared to the Timberwolves’ +5.4.
If Cleveland’s three-point defense once again struggles against this Timberwolves side, then its going to be a long day for the hosts. With Minnesota's potential advantage from the perimeter, they should be able to keep this one close. Our Cleveland Cavaliers vs Minnesota Timberwolves prediction: Timberwolves +3.5.
