Minnesota Timberwolves vs Boston Celtics Betting Analysis

The Boston Celtics travel to Minnesota for a interconference showdown with the Timberwolves on Wednesday night.

The Timberwolves snapped a two game losing streak with a 136-115 victory on the road against the Atlanta Hawks on Monday night. The Celtics are coming off an embarrassing loss 111-109 in Houston against the Rockets.

This will be the second and final game in a regular season series that Boston leads 1-0 after losing 121-109 at TD Garden in December. Tip-off is slated for 8:00 PM EST/5:00 PST from the Target Center.

Timberwolves Move Above .500

The Minnesota Timberwolves improved to 35-34 on the season after crushing Atlanta on Monday. The Twolves had tremendous advantage in three-point shooting as they shot 12-28 for 43% while Atlanta shot only 4-22 for 18%.

Anthony Edwards led his team in scoring with 32 points along with 8 rebounds and 5 assists. Kyle Anderson recorded a 14 point, 12 assist, 10 rebound triple-double while Mike Conley chipped in with 21 points.

Minnesota currently occupies the 7th seed in the Western Conference, only two games from missing the play-in tournament. They rank 10th in scoring with 115.7 points a game on 49.2% from the field.

The Wolves sit at 18th in both defensive rating and defensive scoring with 115.7 points allowed per game. Rudy Gobert (ankle), Jaylen Nowell (knee), Naz Reid (calf) and Austin Rivers (back) are all listed as questionable for this contest.

Minnesota Timberwolves vs Boston Celtics Expert Prediction

The Boston Celtics are 5 point road favorites with a total set at 233.5. This a critical game for both sides playoff positioning is at stake.

The Celtics will be out for blood after taking a loss to the Rockets. The Timberwolves are dealing with multiple injuries including Gobert, Rivers and Reid. They are also only 15-19 ATS after a victory.

The Wolves have also allowed 3rd most mid-range makes and 3rd highest shooting percentage on above the break three’s since the All-Star break.

We should see positive regression from the Celtics shooters as they shot only 28.6% from beyond the arc against Houston.

Mazzulla has the ability create open shots for Tatum and Brown and they should feast on the short-handed Timberwolves. The Celtics are also top three in mid-range shooting since they break, giving them a huge advantage over Minnesota.
