by Devesh Jaganath | in NBA Predictions
The Washington Wizards will play host to the Minnesota Timberwolves at the Capital One Arena in the NBA on Tuesday. The Wizards (6-31) are bottom of the Eastern Conference, while the Timberwolves (20-18) are eighth in the West. Let’s get into the match prediction.
The Washington Wizards have been one of the worst-performing teams in the NBA this season and are now hoping to avoid a seventh straight loss after getting thumped 136-95 by OKC last night.
No Washington player managed to get 20+ points in the match, and as a team, they shot a dismal 33% from the field and made nine of 46 attempts from beyond the arc.
The Wizards are now averaging 108.4 points per game (24th in the league), but they are the worst defence in the NBA this season, allowing 122.7 PPG.
Meanwhile, the Minnesota Timberwolves will be looking to bounce back to winning ways here after seeing their three-match win streak ended by the Grizzlies 127-125 on Sunday.
Donte DiVincenzo and Jaden McDaniels scored 27 and 21 points respectively, but the team went cold in the final five minutes of the match and were outscored 18-10 to lose by two.
The Timberwolves are ranked 22nd in the NBA scoring charts (109.3) but they are one of the league’s best defences, averaging 107.7 PPG against (fourth overall).

Our Washington Wizards vs Minnesota Timberwolves Prediction
We are not fully sold on the Timberwolves to cover this massive line, but you simply cannot back the Wizards right now, who are riding a six-match losing streak and have only won six games all season.
Minnesota put up a tough fight against the Grizzlies last time out and will be wanting to make amends in this one, especially given that they have the rest advantage. It may be worth going with a shorter spread for safety in this one. Our Washington Wizards vs Minnesota Timberwolves prediction is Minnesota Timberwolves -10.5.
