Minnesota Timberwolves vs Portland Trail Blazers Prediction & Betting Tips - NBA
by Kennedy Kechula | in NBA Prediction
The Minnesota Timberwolves will be out to get back to winning ways when they host the Portland Trail Blazers next in the NBA. This match sees two teams on opposite ends of the Western Conference standings collide. Minnesota sit second in the West while Portland are second from bottom. The Timberwolves have lost their last two matches. They are coming off an 89-88 defeat to the Clippers at home on the first night of a back-to-back. Chris Finch’s men haven’t lost more than two games in a row all season and will therefore be confident of bouncing back here. This two-game skid has cost them their hold on top spot in the conference. Minnesota have won the first three matchups with Portland this season. Jaylen Clark remains sidelined and will not be available here.
While the Timberwolves have hit a snug, the Blazers have witnessed a positive run of form. Chauncey Billups’ men, who have been one of the whipping boys this season, have won their last two games. Both matches were away to the Grizzlies. The recent win ended 107-100, a major improvement from Memphis who had suffered a 30-point blowout in the first game. Before heading to Memphis, Portland had lost nine straight matches, their longest losing run of the campaign. The Blazers, who are averaging 107.5 points, have now won 17 of 59 matches. Malcolm Brogdon, Shaedon Sharpe, and Scoot Henderson remain sidelined and will not play here. Matisse Thybulle, Deandre Ayton, and Jerami Grant are doubtful as they are all managing injuries.
