Minnesota vs Milwaukee Prediction: the Bucks Will Lose Again?

Prediction for the NBA match between Minnesota vs Milwaukee, which will take place on February 24th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

No matter how much the Timberwolves are getting hammered by their rivals, they still top the West. Even a first-place finish might not improve Minnesota's playoff chances significantly. But winning the regular season could be vital for them from a psychological standpoint. Minnesota entered the break on a four-game winning streak. Twice during that stretch, the Timberwolves beat Portland (121-109 and 128-91) and also beat contenders - the Los Angeles Clippers (121-100) and Milwaukee (129-105).

Doc Rivers's changes to the team's game were so drastic that the Bucks immediately began to get consistent results. In that respect, a 3-7 record with a new head coach shouldn't come as a surprise. Milwaukee has a comfortable tournament situation, and they may focus on tactics without paying attention to results. The Bucks recently beat defending NBA champion Denver 112-95 at home. But then they lost at Miami (97-123) and Western Conference underdog Memphis (110-113).

Milwaukee will need more time to find stability under Doc Rivers, and the Bucks' underdog status in the upcoming game is fair enough. Most likely, Minnesota, which is more balanced today, will beat the Bucks just like they did two weeks ago. We are backing the Western leaders to win and the total under. We also expect TU in the rebounds.
