The Minnesota Timberwolves will play the first of back-to-back road games vs. the Portland Trailblazers at the Moda Center in the Rose City. Tipoff is scheduled for 10 p.m. ET. Minnesota opened as a 7-point road favorite, but the line has since shifted to -8.5 and -9. Minnesota had won three in a row to improve to 6-3 before losing to the Heat in their last game, Sunday night in Miami (which makes them 6-4). Anthony Edwards led the way with a relatively quiet 22 points; he had scored 37 and 33 points in the previous two. He didn’t get much help as Julius Randle was the only other starter to score in double digits. They got 35 points off the bench (which ranks 13th in bench scoring).
Portland has not gotten off to a strong start this season, with just three wins in 11 games played. Heading into this game, they have lost five of their last six, including one vs. the Timberwolves in Minneapolis (Friday, No. 8-- 127-102). Scoot Henderson led the way with 16 points off the bench. The bench ended up outscoring the starting five in this game, 60-42.
Jerami Grant leads the team in scoring with 18.1 points per game.

Our Portland Trail Blazers vs Minnesota Timberwolves Prediction
It has not been a good year for the Trail Blazers, as they are one of the worst offensive teams in the league, ranking among the lowest in several statistical categories. Their defense is unimpressive as well. Minnesota, on the other hand, has a decent offense and a capable defense. When these two teams met last Friday, the Timberwolves won by 25 points. Fans can expect a similar outcome in this game.
Our Timberwolves vs. Trail Blazers Pick: Minnesota -8.5
Prediction:
Minnesota -8.5
