The Minnesota Timberwolves will gun for their fourth win in five games when they host the Boston Celtics on Thursday at Target Center. The Wolves’ three-game winning run hit a wall after bowing to the Oklahoma City Thunder, 105-113, on December 31. Anthony Edwards scored 20 points on 6-for-12 shooting and Naz Reid added 19 off the bench. Minnesota shot almost 50 percent from the field, though turning the ball over 23 times proved too be the deciding factor of the match. The Celtics earned a dominant win over the Toronto Raptors, 125-71, on December 31. Boston earned their second win in three games, improving their record to 24-9. Jayson Tatum returned from injury and finished with 23 points on 6-for-13 shooting while Derrick White added 16 points.

Our Minnesota Timberwolves vs Boston Celtics Prediction
Thursday’s game will be the second and last time these two teams play each other in the regular season. The Celtics escaped with a close 107-105 win over the visiting Wolves in their first match last November 24. With the spread set at just 3.5 points, bookmakers are expecting another toe-to-toe showdown between the Wolves and the Celtics. Both teams are performing against their spread in their last five games. Boston are 6-14 ATS in their last 20 games, while Minnesota are 2-5 ATS in their last seven games. The Celtics will likely get Jaylen Brown and Kristaps Porzingis back in the lineup against Minnesota; therefore, it’s not a surprise to see 88 percent of bets going to Boston for an ATS win. The Wolves remain a solid team, but losing Karl-Anthony Towns in the offseason put them at a disadvantage in matchups against loaded teams like the Celtics. Our betting prediction for the Boston Celtics vs. Minnesota Timberwolves: Celtics will cover -3.5 points.
