Washington Wizards (8-24) and Minnesota Timberwolves (21-13) will meet on Sunday night at the Capital One Arena. The Wizards, who are 14th in the Eastern Conference, have shown signs of improvement lately, winning five of their last 10 matches. In their most recent game, they pulled off an upset with a 113-114 win against the Bucks on the road. This was their third win in the last four assignments.

Minnesota Timberwolves, on the other hand, are trying to keep up with the leading group in the Western Conference. They are sixth in the standings with a .618 win percentage and eight games behind the Thunder. That’s also just 3.5 games behind the second-placed San Antonio Spurs. The Wolves will look to quickly bounce back from their 24-point loss against the Hawks when they play the Heat in Miami on Saturday night.

Our Washington Wizards vs Minnesota Timberwolves Prediction

Washington Wizards have shown great determination lately, making them exciting underdogs in this match. They have won two of their last three home games, with those wins coming against the Grizzlies and the Raptors, who are doing well this season. However, the Wolves are the deeper and better side in this matchup. They should get a result by targeting Washington’s weak defense, which has conceded an average of 125 points per contest this season. They have been scoring points on the road lately, which should lift them past the determined Wizards. Still, we think the hosts will cover the spread.

Our prediction for Washington Wizards vs Minnesota Timberwolves: Minnesota Timberwolves for the win.
