The Minnesota Timberwolves (42-32) and the Detroit Pistons (42-32) are set to clash at the Target Center in Sunday's NBA cross-conference clash. The Timberwolves are eighth in the Western Conference table, while the Pistons are fifth. Here's our match prediction.
The Minnesota Timberwolves completed a four-game season sweep of the Phoenix Suns with a commanding 124-109 home win on Friday. This marked their fourth consecutive win against the Suns this season.
In that match, Julius Randle led the team with 25 points, had six rebounds and eight dimes. Anthony Edwards contributed 20 points.
The Timberwolves still find themselves in bad shape in the NBA. They have won just two of their last five games. This comes after winning eight straight.
Despite being without key players Cade Cunningham and Tobias Harris, the Detroit Pistons ate and left no crumbs in a 133-122 home thrashing of the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday.
Tim Hardaway Jr. led the team with a season-high 32 points. Ausar Thompson contributed 18 points and ten rebounds, while Dennis Schroder added 17 and ten assists.
The Pistons have now won five of their last six matches after losing two straight. Notably, they are riding a three-match winning streak and come into this match high in spirits.

Our Minnesota Timberwolves vs Detroit Pistons Prediction
Despite a lukewarm 2-3 record, the Minnesota Timberwolves are favoured to win here by the bookmakers. The Timberwolves have been strong at home this season, boasting 22 wins from their last 38 games.
The Detroit Pistons can make this matchup a competitive one. Last time out, the Pistons beat the Cavaliers to reveal they are not a one-man team reliant on Cade Cunningham listed as day-to-day. Despite these two teams being ranked ninth in the league when it comes to defensive efficiency, we don't see this matchup being a low-scoring affair. Our Minnesota Timberwolves v Detroit Pistons prediction: over 223.5.
