A Western Conference battle in the NBA on Wednesday sees the Dallas Mavericks hosting the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Mavs are seventh in the conference standings with a 23-20 record while the Timberwolves are ninth at 22-21. Let’s get started on the match prediction!

Dallas pulled off a surprise win over the first-place Thunder last Friday. However, a 110-105 away defeat to the Hornets on Monday marked their fourth loss in their last five outings.

The Mavericks are trying to keep their heads above water as they await the return of Luka Doncic. The superstar is still reportedly a few weeks away from a return after suffering an injury on Christmas Day.

Dallas will have Kyrie Irving available for this one with the mercurial point guard in fine form. Irving has dropped an average of 29.0 points per game in his two games since returning from injury.

After a big road win over New York, the Timberwolves were unable to match that same intensity in their next two outings.

The Cavs beat Minnesota on their home court which was followed by the Timberwolves suffering yet another slim loss to Memphis as the Grizzlies prevailed 108-106 at the FedExForum.

The visitors now come into this contest on a tough run of four losses from their last six games which has dropped them to just one game above .500.
