The Minnesota Timberwolves will try to keep their winning streak alive Thursday night when they host the Dallas Mavericks at the Target Center in Minneapolis, MN. Tip-off is scheduled for 8 p.m. EST on NBA TV.
Minnesota has been on a roll recently despite not having Anthony Edwards available. With Sunday’s win over the Utah Jazz, the Timberwolves have won five of their last six games, and four in a row. Most of the competition hasn’t been too tough (Clippers, Bucks, Pelicans, Jazz), but they did record a win over the Rockets in Houston (117-107).
However, Dallas has been on a roll of its own, with wins in six of its last eight games. Their 125-122 win over the Indiana Pacers at home Monday night extended their current win streak to three in a row.
With both teams off for a few days, it is unlikely anyone takes the night off for rest/load management. Derick Lively II (foot), Tarik Biberovic (heel), and Sergio de Larrea (knee) are still out for the Mavericks; Morez Johnson Jr. (lower leg) is listed as a game-time decision. For Minnesota, Anthony Edwards (knee) and Donte DiVincenzo (Achilles) remain on the injured list.

Our Minnesota Timberwolves vs Dallas Mavericks Prediction
Cooper Flagg and Kyrie Irving have been averaging 48.8 points per game this season. They have the offensive firepower they’ll need to stand up against the Minnesota defense, but will it be enough? Dallas will need to find a way to compete for rebounds with Lively II out. If they can, the Mavericks will probably keep this one close. But I’m not so sure they can. The Timberwolves are putting up points just fine without Edwards and will do so once again tonight.
Our Dallas vs. Minnesota Pick: T-wolves -5.5
