The Dallas Mavericks will host the Minnesota Timberwolves, who are seeking to win this NBA regular-season series. The Mavs come into this match in fourth place in the Western Conference table, 4.5 games clear of their visitors, who are in 10th. Below is our prediction for this match.

The Mavericks defeated the Timberwolves in their first meeting of the season back in October. Another win here and they will win this regular season series with a game to spare. Jason Kidd’s men are in terrific form.

They have improved to 19-10 after winning 14 of their last 17 matches. Dallas, who do not have Jaden Hardy and Dante Exum available, are coming off a dominant 132-108 win over the Trailblazers.

The Timberwolves have lost their last three matches. Chris Finch’s men, who have struggled with inconsistency all through the season, are coming off a 117-104 loss to the Hawks.

Joe Ingles remains unavailable through injury while Naz Reid and Luka Garza are day-to-day. Minnesota have compiled a 14-14 record and have suffered four defeats in their last six games.

The visitors are struggling on offence but are still a top defensive side ranked fourth in this regard. They are holding teams to under 110 points a night.
