Minnesota Timberwolves vs Memphis Grizzlies Prediction: will the Timberwolves win?

Prediction for the NBA match which will take place on January 12. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Minnesota

The Timberwolves spend this season as the reigning Western Conference Finalists. However, the team can't boast stability and tournament standing. In the Western Conference, the Wolves with a balance of 20-17 still occupy only the seventh line.

For the match with Memphis, however, Minnesota approaches the match with a winning streak of three consecutive matches. First at home, the Timberwolves coped with the Los Angeles Clippers (108:106) in a close game, and then on the road they outplayed Orlando (104:97) and New Orleans (104:89), without conceding a hundred points in these meetings. We should also note the phenomenal form of Anthony Edwards, who has already averaged 25.7 points per game this season.

Memphis

The Grizzlies are slowly getting their injured players back. Marcus Smart is still out, but Santi Aldama, Desmond Bain and even Ja Morant took part in the previous game against Houston. However, the team still lost - 115:119. Memphis could not find an antidote to the top defence of the Rockets and, for example, made only 20 assists for 20 losses.

Memphis has four losses in their last six games. However, it is obvious that in the very near future, given the return to the court of the leaders, the results of the team should again go uphill. The Grizzlies, meanwhile, are still high in the Western Conference standings - in third place with a 24-14 balance.

Expert Betting Tips

Minnesota has picked up the pace, in particular by strengthening at the top of the defensive rankings - the Wolves are currently fourth with an average of 107.2 points per game. Memphis, on the contrary, has slowed down because of the instability of the lineup - the Grizzlies have one of the leaders, then another. Accordingly, we're betting on the Timberwolves' fifth consecutive win over the Grizzlies in the upcoming game, and we're not expecting a high-scoring affair, again remembering the great work of Chris Finch's team on their own end of the floor.
