The Houston Rockets (7-1, 4-0 Home) will try to remain undefeated at home tonight when they host the Minnesota Timberwolves (5-3, 2-2 Away). Fans can follow the action at the Toyota Center in Houston, TX, once the game gets underway at 8:30 p.m. EST via the NBA League Pass.
Houston has one loss this season, which came last Friday at the hands of the Mavericks in Dallas (111-116). But they have since bounced back with wins over the Oklahoma City Thunder, 119-98, and the Boston Celtics (109-93), both at home. Oklahoma City knew replacing Anthony Edwards’ production would be easier said than done. Since losing him for the near future, the team has gone 2-2 with losses to Golden State and San Antonio and wins over the LA Clippers and Milwaukee Bucks.
Minnesota hopes LaMelo Ball’s size, speed, and athleticism can help mitigate the loss of Edwards and keep them winning games. However, that may not matter much against the Rockets, since they have a player capable of keeping Ball in check, making it harder for the Timberwolves to get their offense on track against a solid defensive team like the Rockets.

Our Houston Rockets vs Minnesota Timberwolves Prediction
Minnesota has shown that it can still win games without Anthony Edwards in the lineup. but beating the Clippers and Bucks is one thing; beating a team like the Rockets is something else entirely. Houston is simply playing too well on both ends of the court for the Timberwolves to do much more than keep this one competitive. However, while Houston will win this game, I don’t know if they’ll cover a 7.5-point spread. I do, however, feel as if both teams could score in the 110-point range, giving this game a great chance to go OVER the total.
Our Minnesota vs. Houston Pick: OVER 220.5
