Minnesota Timberwolves vs Houston Rockets Prediction, Odds & Picks

The Timberwolves got a much-needed win on Christmas Day when they beat the Dallas Mavericks 105-99. Despite the win, however, there are some worrying signs from that game as they almost let a 28-point lead slip away. Now they have a tough task playing the Rockets who took the first meeting of the year in OT playing in Minnesota. Not only that, Houston’s numbers are better across the board. Rudy Gobert has to step up here as the Rockets rank 1st in rebounding. Minnesota will have a slight advantage at rest as this will be Houston’s 2nd game in two nights.

Last night the Rockets beat the lowly Pelicans 128-111. Jalen Green, Fred VanVleet and Cam Whitmore combined for 17 threes as they were simply unstoppable offensively. I’m curious to see if they can repeat that performance here, Minnesota is one of the better teams in the league when it comes to defending the perimeter. Houston has been a reliable effort this season, covering the spread in 14 of their last 20 games. At the Toyota Center, they have lost once in 11 games, plus they are 10-4 ATS in 14 overall this season. On the other hand, Minnesota had a massive meltdown in the 4th quarter on Wednesday, I’m still not convinced by them despite the win over Dallas. Houston looks like the team to beat in the West right now, along with OKC. Look for them to add to their already impressive streak of 6 wins in 7 games here.

Timberwolves vs Rockets Predictions: Rockets -1.5 is available at the time of release. Can be played on that track.
