The 7-1 Houston Rockets will play host to the 5-3 Minnesota Timberwolves in a Western Conference matchup early on Thursday morning. The Rockets are 1st in the West standings while the Timberwolves are 8th. Home advantage can see Houston continue their impressive start to the season.

It has been an excellent start to the season for Houston, and arguably they will feel that they should be unbeaten, heading into the final quarter in Dallas against the Mavericks with an eight-point lead before falling by five after giving up 40 in the final quarter.

They are yet to taste defeat at Toyota Center, beating the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Boston Celtics in their last two here by 21 and 16 points respectively. Both of those teams will expect to be contenders come the end of the season.

Minnesota is 2-2 on the road so far, landing those victories in their opening pair of games in Florida before falling to the Cleveland Cavaliers in overtime and then the San Antonio Spurs.

This is their toughest task of the season so far though it is a matchup that they have had great success with in recent years, They are missing Anthony Edwards which is a big loss ahead of this difficult assignment.

Our Houston Rockets vs Minnesota Timberwolves Prediction

The Timberwolves have had the better of the matchup in recent years but this is their biggest test since losing Anthony Edwards to injury. Their five wins this season have come over teams who are a combined 10-25 and Houston’s recent wins over better teams have been deeply impressive. Minnesota have done well at both ends of the court this season so should keep it close for a while, but ultimately Houston can prove too strong for them. Our Houston Rockets vs Minnesota Timberwolves prediction is the Rockets -8.5.

Houston Rockets -8.5
