Saturday's NBA cross-conference clash sees the Boston Celtics make the trip to Target Center to lock horns with the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Timberwolves are in seventh place in the Western Conference standings, while the Celtics are in eighth place. Here's our match prediction. 

The Minnesota Timberwolves enter this matchup aiming to halt a three-game losing skid. Their most recent loss came at the hands of the Oklahoma City Thunder in an NBA Cup group stage clash. They suffered a 113-105 defeat on the road.

Anthony Edwards led the team with 31 points, eight rebounds, and five assists in that match with the Thunder. Five other players scored in double digits. 

The Timberwolves enter their first match of a mini two-game homestand, hoping for a better outcome. The Target Center has been their stronghold, having won four of their last five games. Notably, they've won two consecutive matches. 

Meanwhile, the Boston Celtics are aiming to make it three wins in a row in the NBA. In fact, their performance has been impressive thus far, with five wins in their last six matches.

In their recent match, they beat the Detroit Pistons 117-114 at home in an NBA Cup group stage clash. 

The Celtics are on the road this time around, and they have put on a convincing display, winning four of their last six games.
