Our Houston Rockets vs Minnesota Timberwolves Prediction
The Timberwolves have yet to find consistency this season, their first without long-time star Karl-Anthony Towns. Over their last 10 games, they've gone 5-5, struggling to climb the Western Conference standings. Minnesota ranks 23rd in the league in scoring, 18th in field goal percentage, and 14th in three-point shooting. While they are fifth in made three-pointers per game, they sit at 22nd in turnovers and 23rd in offensive efficiency. On the other hand, the Rockets have emerged as one of the surprise teams in the Western Conference this year. The young Houston squad has won eight of their last 11 games, including a commanding 128-111 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans on Thursday night. With Minnesota ranking 24th in pace of play, the Rockets won't have to worry about being worn down by the Timberwolves' tempo. Houston aims to secure a second consecutive win against Minnesota on Friday night. Our betting prediction for the Houston Rockets vs. Minnesota Timberwolves: Rockets to cover +2.5.
