Prediction published on 13/03/2021, 10:11  by Steve Ashfield | Modified on 13/03/2021 at 11:11 in NBA Predictions

Portland Trail Blazers are third in the North West Division of the Western Conference. They are in the same division as their opponents the Minnesota Timberwolves who lack bite and are bottom. The Trail Blazers have a season record of 21-15 but that's seven behind leaders Utah Jazz. Overall, they are sixth in the Western Conference so some postseason action looks very likely. Current form is a bit patchy with two wins and three losses in the last five played. Away form for the season is 10-8 but each of the last three has been lost.

They can bounce back to winning ways on the road because their opponents are in terrible form. The Timberwolves are rock bottom of this division and are the only team in the NBA yet to get to ten season wins. They have won eight and lost 29 this season with a 4-13 home record. Only two of the last ten at home have been won and the last five all lost. Their last home game saw them beten by a 33 points margin against the Charlotte Hornets. Earlier in the season they lost to the Trailblazers by 18 points. It could have been a much wider margin as they lost the second and third quarters by 32 points. Back Portland to win this match.
