Perhaps the hardest NBA game to predict for tonight will be the clash between the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Detroit Pistons. Eastern Conference leaders, the Detroit Pistons, have lost star man Cade Cunningham to a lung injury and now have to travel to a menacing Minnesota side. Who will win their first meeting of the season? Find out in this match prediction.
It’s been a rocky past few games for the Timberwolves, but Ant Man and the crew have sailed ahead with back-to-back wins against the Rockets and Celtics following their loss to the Blazers. Minnesota has been largely successful in the West with a 45-28 run that sees them in 5th-place after 73 games.
They’ve made the playoffs, but could still mathematically slip out of the automatic zone if they’re not careful. It’s why beating the Pistons tonight is crucial with nine games to go. However, the Pistons, even without Cade, are still flying high with five wins in their six games since his absence.
The only defeat was to the Hawks, who emerged victorious with just one point. In that span, the Pistons beat the Wizards, Warriors, Lakers, and lately, the Pelicans. However, they must acknowledge that the Timberwolves are a different class of beast entirely.
