Houston Rockets vs Minnesota Timberwolves: Both teams are coming off a loss

The Minnesota Timberwolves are hosting the Houston Rockets today at Target Center.

The Wolves have a lot to make up for

The Minnesota Timberwolves are 11th in the Western Conference with an 8-8 record, including 3-6 at home. They have lost 5 of the last 7 games overall and are coming off a 107-105 loss to the Boston Celtics. The Wolves are sixth in the league shooting 37.9% from deep and tenth with 46.9% shooting from the field. Anthony Edwards leads the team averaging 27.9 points per game.

 

Betting Trends

The Timberwolves are 2-5 SU in their last 7 games overall, 5-0 SU in their last 5 home games against Houston, and 1-4 SU in their last 5 games played on Tuesday. The 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games overall, 2-8 ATS in their last 10 home games, and 1-9 ATS in their last 10 games against teams from the Southwest Division. Minnesota has played over the total point line in 6 of their last 9 games against Houston, 8 of their last 9 games against teams from the Western Conference and 4 of their last 5 home games played on Tuesday. The Rockets are 7-2 SU in their last 9 games overall, 1-10 SU in their last 11 games against the Timberwolves, and 0-5 SU in their last 5 visits to Minnesota. They are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games overall, 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games against Minnesota, and 9-4 ATS in their last 13 games against teams from the Western Conference. Houston has played under the total point line in 6 of their last 8 games on the road and over in 4 of their last 6 games against teams from the Northwest Division.

 

Prediction and Conclusion

The Minnesota Timberwolves are back home after losing two games on the road, their 19th consecutive in Toronto and 20th in Boston. Those two dropped them in the bottom third in the Western Conference, which is way lower than everyone expected after their impressive run last season. Unlike Minnesota, the Rockets are on the rise, being among the top three teams in the conference. Anyway, the Timberwolves have won 9 of the last 10 games against the Rockets, and given the circumstances, we go with Minnesota to win another one tonight.
