MIN Timberwolves

Unlike Indiana, Minnesota is not going to slow down. The team continues to win and remains the best in the Western Conference. The balance is 18-5.

In the last game, the Timberwolves confidently outplayed a tough Dallas on the road, allowing Luka Doncic to score 39 points, but the Mavericks were outscored by just over a hundred - 119:101. Naza Reid unexpectedly became the most productive member of his team, scoring 27 points. Rudy Gober had 12 rebounds, a blocked shot, and 3 steals. Anthony Edwards had 11 assists. The Wolves have seven wins in their last eight games.

IND Pacers

The Pacers lost to the Los Angeles Lakers in the in-season finale with a score of 109:123. Indiana then confidently beat Eastern Conference outsider Detroit (131:213), but then suffered two consecutive defeats. While the 126:140 road loss to Milwaukee is understandable, the failure in Washington was a real surprise. 123:137 - The Pacers did a good job of attacking but failed on defense again. So far, Indiana is sixth in the Eastern Conference with a 13-10 record.

Expert Betting Tips

Indiana plays fast and offensively, ignoring how much they'll eventually concede. As the match against Washington showed, this approach can affect the team's results in meetings with contenders but also against outsiders. Today, Minnesota is a much more balanced team with a top defense and progresses from match to match in the attack. We believe that the Wolves will have no problem getting a win here. In addition, consider the total over points from Minnesota's team. Indiana is the worst team in the league in defending against two-point shots, so Gober and Towns have chances to break their season rate.
