Minnesota Timberwolves vs Houston Rockets Prediction: Minnesota is far from perfection

Prediction for the NBA Minnesota Timberwolves vs Houston Rockets match which will take place on February 5th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Minnesota Timberwolves

The Timberwolves have been losing a lot lately. And Minnesota is even losing to the underdogs. Before the 106:108 loss to Orlando, Chris Finch's team had lost three times in seven games, including Charlotte (125:128) and San Antonio (112:113).

Minnesota is tied with Oklahoma for first place in the Western Conference, but the Thunder and Timberwolves have almost caught the Los Angeles Clippers. It wouldn't be surprising to see the teams change places soon.

Houston Rockets

The Rockets are in 11th place in the Western Conference but are not out of the play-in race. Only one win separates them from the top 10. We can't say that Ime Udoka's positional basketball tactics have been effective for Houston since the first season, but this season's first half hasn't failed.

In their last game, Houston beat Toronto 135:106 at home.

Expert Betting Tips

Despite the high position in the standings, Minnesota is far from perfection. Even the underdogs have found a way to beat the Wolves lately. Houston is a tough team, which might also trouble the Wolves. At the very least, the odds on the Rockets in the upcoming game are significantly overvalued.
