Minnesota Timberwolves vs Boston Celtics Prediction

🔮 Expert Prediction

Boston's 47-23 record at home is a fortress, especially when you consider the Timberwolves are a different beast on the road, sitting at a middling 19-15 away from Minneapolis. The Celtics have won their last eight straight home games, a run that includes handling teams like the Suns and the Nuggets. Minnesota, meanwhile, just dropped a tough one to the Cavaliers, struggling to find consistent offense outside of Anthony Edwards' 31 points.

The key matchup here is Karl-Anthony Towns against Kristaps Porzingis. Towns needs to dominate the boards and stretch the floor to pull Porzingis out of the paint. Thing is, Boston's defense has been suffocating, holding opponents to just 109.1 points per game at TD Garden. I don't see the Wolves breaking through.

Boston takes this one, 118-105.
