Prediction for the NBA match which will take place on January 10. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

In the previous game, the Magic, still without Paolo Banquero and the Wagner brothers, met at Madison Square Garden with the New York Knicks, who have lost all three face-to-face meetings this season. On their fourth attempt, the Floridians unexpectedly managed to break their losing streak. The team showed their best qualities in defense and achieved a victory with a difference of nine points - 103:94.

Thus, Orlando once again confirmed that it is a systematic team, which is not so much affected even by injuries to leaders. In the Eastern Conference standings, the Magic are still in the top-4 with a 22-16 balance. It looks like Orlando will lose the fourth spot, if they do, it won't be for a long time.

Anthony Edwards is in phenomenal form for the Timberwolves. The guard scores from all positions, rarely misses, and has scored 122 points over the last three games - more than 40 points per game on average. Minnesota has won only two of those three games. First, the Wolves lost on the road to Detroit (105:119), when Edwards passed the 50-point mark for scoring. Then, at home, Minnesota barely beat the Clippers (108-106) and defeated the last team in the Western Conference, New Orleans (104-97).

In general, the Timberwolves have not yet found stability over the course of the season and can't boast as high a position as Orlando in the East. Minnesota is only eighth in the Western Conference with a 19-17 record.

Minnesota and Orlando are currently located in the top-4 defense rankings and clearly have the opportunity to make each other's offensive game as difficult as possible. It's likely that the meeting will be a low-scoring affair, with each opponent failing to even reach the 100-point mark. The Magic's roster problems also increase the chances of such an outcome - without Banquero and Franz Wagner on offense, Jamal Mosley's team is finding it noticeably more difficult to perform.
