Houston Rockets vs Minnesota Timberwolves Prediction

🔮 Expert Prediction

The real showdown here is how Jalen Green handles Rudy Gobert inside. Green’s been on an absolute tear, averaging 28.5 points on 52% shooting over his last 12 games, but Gobert changes everything at the rim.

Thing is, the Rockets have won 9 straight, including beating the Thunder and the Kings twice in that stretch. Minnesota, meanwhile, is just 5-5 in their last ten, and they're still missing Karl-Anthony Towns. You can feel the energy difference. I've watched Houston turn their season around from 11th to 10th in the West, then all the way to 9th. That momentum is real.

Rockets win this one, 118-112. The Timberwolves just don't have enough firepower to keep up right now.
