Prediction published on 4/2/24, 6:12 AM  by Tyler Doty | Modified on 4/2/24 at 10:35 AM in NBA Picks

The Wolves host the Rockets at the Target Center. The hosts are enjoying a promising season with a record of 51 wins to 23 losses, putting them in a fine 3rd place in the Western Conference. However, their progress was dealt a blow when Karl-Anthony Towns, one of their mainstays, suffered a serious knee injury. This injury seriously compromises the franchise's playoff objectives, jeopardizing their positive momentum to date. The Wolves will have to face this new challenge without one of their best players on the court.

The Rockets are enjoying a season beyond expectations, with a record of 38 wins to 36 losses placing them 11th in the Western Conference. Despite their position in the standings, the team led by Ime Udoka showed great progress throughout the season. Their impressive 11-game winning streak over the last 12 matches reflects their current momentum and their ability to string together top-level performances. The Rockets are on a roll and could cause some surprises in the playoff race, thanks to a group that has excelled and progressed together throughout the campaign.
