Toronto Raptors vs Minnesota Timberwolves Prediction & Picks - NBA

 by Lou Aguila | in NBA Picks

The Toronto Raptors pulled off a 97-94 road win over the Minnesota Timberwolves on opening night six months ago.

Will the Raptors repeat on their home floor? That's a bit of a stretch now that the T-Wolves are considered one of the top teams in the West and the Raptors are cellar-dwellers.

However, does Toronto stand a chance in covering a 16-point spread against a red-hot Minnesota?

The Minnesota Timberwolves:

Winners in 8 of their last 10 games, the Timberwolves marched into April with a real shot at claiming the No.1 seed in the Western Conference. What is impressive is the Wolves have been able to sustain their fine form despite missing Karl-Anthony Towns due to a knee injury. Anthony Edwards surged into MVP contention after averaging 24.3 points, 6.6 rebounds and 5.1 assists, not including his emphatic dunks that sent the NBA world into a frenzy.

The Toronto Raptors

A lot has changed since that season-opening victory over the Timberwolves. Toronto has already traded away the last remnants of their championship run in 2019, sending OG Anunoby to the Knicks and Pascal Siakam to the Indiana Pacers before the trade deadline. Scotty Barnes, the outstanding rookie two seasons ago, has made significant strides in his growth, earning an All-Star for the first time in his career. However, Barnes has not played an NBA game in over a month, hastening the Raptors' slide in the standings.

Our Toronto Raptors vs Minnesota Timberwolves Prediction

This season, the Timberwolves are 38-36-1 against the spread, including a 3-3 record in their last six home games. The Wolves will undoubtedly win their second game against the Raptors. ESPN's match predictor gives the home team a 93.3 percent chance of winning on Tuesday. However, asking the Wolves to cover a -16-point spread might be a tall assignment. The Timberwolves were recently booked as double-digit favorites against the Detroit Pistons at -16.5. They won the game easily but fell two points shy of covering the spread.

Our betting pick for Raptors vs. Timberwolves: Take Raptors to cover +16 point spread (-115) at BetRivers.
