Prediction for the NBA match which will take place on December 25. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

The Mavericks hosted Portland, the Western Conference outsider, in the previous game and confidently confirmed their status as favourites - 132:108. Luka Doncic was traditionally the top scorer for Dallas, with 27 points + 7 rebounds + 7 assists. Daniel Gafford scored 23 points; Kyrie Irving added 20 points.

Before that Dallas at home exchanged victories with Los Angeles Clippers (95:118 and 113:97), and in total in the asset of Jason Kidd's team 19 wins with only 10 losses in 29 championship games. In the Western Conference standings Dallas is on the fourth position. Only Houston, Oklahoma and Memphis are higher at the moment.

The Timberwolves seemed to have found their game, added in defence and began to steadily collect victories, but on the eve of the trip to Dallas suddenly gave a bad stretch - three defeats in a row. Minnesota started the losing streak with a home game against New York (107:133), then Chris Finch's team fell short against Golden State (103:113), and then lost to Atlanta (104:117).

Thus, Minnesota again has only 50 per cent of victories - 14-14. In the Western Conference standings, the Timberwolves have dropped to tenth place - to the very bottom of the play-in zone.

Minnesota approaches the upcoming game with a series of three consecutive defeats. The team has again broken down the game, even on defense, and the Timberwolves were the strongest defense of the previous regular season. Dallas has been progressing without a drop-off, and with the addition of Klay Thompson, has potentially become even stronger on offense than before. All in all, we're betting on the more stable Dallas to win in a high-scoring game.
