An NBA cross-conference clash takes center stage this Tuesday as the Milwaukee Bucks lock horns with the Minnesota Timberwolves at Fiserv Forum. The Bucks are in 11th place in the Eastern Conference standings, while the Timberwolves are fourth in the Western Conference. Here's our match prediction. 

The Milwaukee Bucks were unfortunate not to have secured a positive outcome against the Denver Nuggets on the road. Despite getting a game-high 31 points from Giannis Antetokounmpo, it wasn't enough to avert a 108-104 defeat.

That result marked their second loss in three games. Beyond that, they've won three of their last five matches, indicating a sign of inconsistency. 

The Bucks are at home this time around and are out to return to winning ways. However, their performance at Fiserv Forum has been less than satisfactory, given they've lost three of their last five matches. 

The Minnesota Timberwolves enter their first match of a four-game road trip seeking another positive outcome.  Last time out, they saw off the San Antonio Spurs in a narrow 104-103 home victory.

Anthony Edwards led the team with 23 points, while five more players scored in double digits. As a team, they shot 43.33% from the field and 30.77% from the three-point range. 

The Timberwolves have been playing good basketball lately, as they've now won five of their last six matches.
