Minnesota Timberwolves vs Houston Rockets Prediction & Picks - NBA

 by Erik Gibbs | in NBA Picks

The Houston Rockets (19-11) are set to host the Minnesota Timberwolves (15-14) at the Toyota Center on Friday. In their last outing, the Timberwolves faced the Dallas Mavericks and handed them a 105-99 defeat. This season, Minnesota is averaging 15.8 turnovers per game and committing 18.1 personal fouls per contest. As a team, they are pulling down 42.7 rebounds per game and have recorded 677 assists, ranking 22nd in the league for team passing. After sharing the best record in the Western Conference during the 2023-24 season, the Timberwolves have struggled to maintain momentum this year. Naz Reid is showing consistency for the Timberwolves, while All-Star Anthony Edwards appears to be lacking in concentration. The Timberwolves are converting 37.2% of their three-point attempts (402 of 1,081) and shooting 78.5% from the free throw line. Offensively, they are averaging 109.4 points per game, which ranks 23rd in the NBA, with a field goal percentage of 45.8%.

Our Minnesota Timberwolves vs Houston Rockets Prediction

The Timberwolves have yet to find consistency this season, their first without long-time star Karl-Anthony Towns. Over their last 10 games, they've gone 5-5, struggling to climb the Western Conference standings. Minnesota ranks 23rd in the league in scoring, 18th in field goal percentage, and 14th in three-point shooting. While they are fifth in made three-pointers per game, they sit at 22nd in turnovers and 23rd in offensive efficiency. On the other hand, the Rockets have emerged as one of the surprise teams in the Western Conference this year. The young Houston squad has won eight of their last 11 games, including a commanding 128-111 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans on Thursday night. With Minnesota ranking 24th in pace of play, the Rockets won't have to worry about being worn down by the Timberwolves' tempo. Houston aims to secure a second consecutive win against Minnesota on Friday night. Our betting prediction for the Houston Rockets vs. Minnesota Timberwolves: Rockets to cover +2.5.
