Houston Rockets vs Minnesota Timberwolves – Game Prediction
The season series between the Minnesota Timberwolves (27-14) and Houston Rockets (23-15) will begin. Despite their difficult back-to-back schedule, the Rockets are at least playing the Timberwolves sans Anthony Edwards. Without him in Milwaukee, they managed to handle business. They did, however, appear to be having trouble tonight in Houston. This season, Houston has an outstanding 12-3 record at home. Despite its poor performance against the spread, it has covered in three of four games as home favourites of between -3 and -6. After defeating the Milwaukee Bucks 139-106, the Minnesota Timberwolves are now fourth in the Western Conference. The Houston Rockets, who are currently sixth in the West, were defeated 111-91 by Oklahoma City in their most recent game.
