Our Minnesota Timberwolves vs Boston Celtics Prediction
Given that they are playing at home and are at full strength, there is a genuine case to be made for the Timberwolves here, especially when considering that their opponents could be short-handed.
Indeed, both Jaylen Brown and Kristaps Porzingis are listed as questionable for the Celts, but they just smashed the Raptors by 50+ points and we feel they will be able to carry that momentum into this one. Our Minnesota Timberwolves vs Boston Celtics prediction is Boston Celtics win.
If your team in the Minnesota Timberwolves and Boston Celtics game takes a 20-point lead, you win!
