Minnesota Timberwolves vs Toronto Raptors Prediction & Betting Tips - NBA
by Joseph King | in NBA Predictions
We’ve got inter-conference action in the NBA as 1-1 Minnesota plays host to 1-1 Toronto on Saturday at the Target Center. Let’s get into the prediction for this match between the Timberwolves and the Raptors!
After a disappointing 110-103 loss to the Lakers in primetime to open the season, the Timberwolves were able to bounce back with a win in their next game. Anthony Edwards knocked down two clutch free throws with two seconds remaining to give Minnesota a 117-115 road win over the Kings.
Minnesota will be aiming for a similar type of year as last season which saw them win 56 games and claim the third seed. They finished as the league’s top defensive team at 106.0 points allowed and are off to a decent start in that respect, ranking 11th currently.
Toronto pulled off a surprise 115-107 win over the 76ers as home underdogs last night to grab their first win of the year. Scottie Barnes and Jakob Pöltl led the scoring with 27 and 19, respectively.
It was an impressive performance, especially considering that the Raptors are missing a number of important players. They’ll still be shorthanded on Saturday and will also have to deal with playing their first back-to-back of the season.

Our Minnesota Timberwolves vs Toronto Raptors Prediction
This is a tough spot for the Raptors. They did well to pull out the win at home in their last game but they will now be playing the second half of a back-to-back on the road. To make matters worse, they'll once again be shorthanded due to injuries.
Playing against this stifling Minnesota defense is a huge challenge, especially for a team that ranked tied for third worst in three-point percentage last year (34.7%). Our Minnesota Timberwolves vs Toronto Raptors prediction: Timberwolves -13.5 point spread.
