The Detroit Pistons (42-32) visit the Minnesota Timberwolves (42-32) on Sunday, March 30, 2025, at the Target Center.

The Pistons, who are already the most surprising team this season, caught a lot of people off guard again. Without their All-Star Cade Cunningham, they managed to carve out a 133-122 win over a healthy Cleveland Cavaliers squad. Seven Pistons scored in double digits in that impressive win, with veteran Tim Hardaway Jr's 32 points leading the way.

Cunningham, who is nursing a calf injury, is still listed as doubtful against the Timberwolves.

As for Minnesota, things have been lukewarm at best. They have lost three of their last five games, although they did beat the Phoenix Suns in their last matchup. The optimistic thing moving forward is that they have all their key players healthy and available.

Still, they are facing a Pistons squad that won five of their last six games. During that span, the Pistons have produced an offensive rating of 128.7. The Timberwolves need to buckle down on defense and get quick on their rotations to the Pistons' sharpshooters. 

If Cunningham doesn't play, the Wolves will surely be the favorites to win this game. The streaking Pistons will give them a run for their money, though.

Our Minnesota Timberwolves vs Detroit Pistons Prediction

The Cade Cunningham-less Pistons surprised everyone when they recently defeated the top-seeded Cleveland Cavaliers. It's a testament to the Pistons' roster depth, as well as their cohesive system on both ends of the floor. This team is a good combination of young guns and veterans, plus of course the all-around brilliance of Cunningham.

Even if Cunningham doesn't play, it might be difficult for the Timberwolves to win big against the Pistons. Our prediction for the Minnesota Timberwolves vs Detroit Pistons match is: Pistons (+7.5) cover the spread.
